✓ Strengths

• Goatskin and neoprene together – leather where resistance is needed, neoprene where the glove needs to flex with the hand
• Dane knuckle protector – dedicated knuckle protection, not a single plate that stiffens the back of the hand
• EN 13594, level 1 KP approval – with dedicated knuckle protection
• Double-layered palm – reinforced with an additional layer; the most stressed areas are leather, with covered seams
• Covered seams in friction points – they don't wear out against the handlebars and don't press on the hand
• Short cuff with velcro closure – fits under the sleeve and adjusts at the wrist
• Stretchy panels and pleats on fingers and thumb – the hand closes on the handlebars without the glove pulling
• Ventilation designed for hot weather – it's a summer glove, not a lightened mid-season one
• Thumb and index finger compatible with touchscreen
• Adventure and sport-naked fit – Dane positions it for both riding styles

Who is it perfect for?

It's the summer glove for those who want to feel the controls. The combination of goatskin and neoprene is not a compromise: the leather is where the glove first touches, the neoprene where it needs to bend, and the result is a glove that doesn't fight with your hand when closing on the handlebar. The knuckles have dedicated protection, and the fingers are also declared reinforced by Dane, which is more than what the average summer leather gloves offer at this price. The covered seams in friction points are one of those details you only notice after months, when the glove still has no worn spots. Dane positions it for both adventure and naked bikes: it's a summer glove for everyday use, not to be saved for special occasions.

Frequently asked questions

Why leather and neoprene together?
Because they perform two different jobs. Goatskin is where the glove first touches in case of a slide and withstands abrasion; neoprene is where the glove needs to bend, and it stretches without resistance. An all-leather glove protects equally but tires the hand more.

What protection do they have?
There's a Dane protector on the knuckles, and the fingers are also declared reinforced. The palm is double-layered with an additional reinforcement layer; the most stressed areas are leather and have covered seams. The homologation is EN 13594 at level 1 KP, where KP precisely indicates knuckle protection.

Are they waterproof?
No. These are summer gloves, designed to allow air to pass through: they will get wet in the rain. For mid-seasons and bad weather, Dane has models with Gore-Tex membrane, which are a different product. These are meant to be used on the bike from May to September.

What are covered seams for?
These are seams in points where the glove rubs against the handlebars and itself. Covering them means the thread doesn't wear out and doesn't press on the hand during hours of riding. It's a detail you don't notice on the first day but appreciate after a few thousand kilometers.
