Dane Rorvig: summer motorcycle gloves in ventilated mesh in the Black/Grey color (Dane code 105.583.180). Mesh panels on the back of the hand and between the fingers, flexible TPR knuckle protector, reinforced leather palm, adjustable short cuff, and touchscreen fingertips. Homologation EN 13594 level 1 KP.

✓ Strengths

• Strategically placed mesh panels – Dane describes them as "strategically placed to ensure maximum airflow": on the back of the hand and between the fingers, i.e., where the hand gets hot.
• Flexible TPR knuckle protector – absorbs impact without stiffening the back of the hand: Samso and Vidar, the other two Dane summer gloves, do not claim TPR.
• Reinforced leather palm – this is the area that touches first when the hand slides, and it remains leather despite the rest being mesh.
• EN 13594, level 1 KP homologation – with certified knuckle protection.
• Stretch panels – the hand closes around the handlebar without forcing.
• Short and adjustable cuff – no bulk under the sleeve.
• Thumb and index finger compatible with touchscreen – a layer of conductive fabric on the fingertips, for navigation without removing the glove.
• Four color options – each with its dedicated listing.

Who it's perfect for

This is the glove for true summer, when full leather gloves become a problem. Dane classifies the Rorvig for hot weather and builds it accordingly: the mesh is not a decorative insert but the structure of the back of the hand, with panels placed where the hand gets hot, and the leather remains only where it's truly needed — the palm, which is the first part to touch when sliding. The knuckles feature a flexible TPR protector: it absorbs impact but flexes with the back of the hand, which is why it's preferred over a rigid shell for summer gloves, as a rigid shell would stiffen the grip on the handlebars. The cuff is short and adjustable, and the thumb and index fingertips have conductive fabric for touchscreens. It's also the most accessible in Dane's range of summer gloves.

Frequently Asked Questions

How cool are they really?
The mesh here is not an insert: it's the structure of the back of the hand, and Dane describes it as strategically positioned to ensure maximum airflow. The leather remains on the palm, where resistance is needed. It's the glove in Dane's summer range with the highest proportion of mesh, and it's designed for hot climates.

What is the flexible TPR protector?
TPR is a thermoplastic that absorbs and distributes impact, rather than simply adding thickness. Here, Dane declares it flexible: it flexes with the back of the hand, which is why it's preferred over a rigid shell in a summer glove, as a rigid shell would stiffen the grip on the handlebars.

Are they waterproof?
No, and they couldn't be: they have no membrane and the back is open mesh. They will get wet in the rain. They are the gloves to wear on the bike in summer, to be paired with a waterproof pair for uncertain days. Those looking for a single glove for all year round should look at models with a GORE-TEX membrane.

Do they have a visor wiper?
No. The official Dane spec sheet for the Rorvig does not declare either a visor wiper on the index finger or reflective elements, which other gloves in the range do have. This is consistent with the lightweight construction and price positioning, but it's important to know before ordering.
