The Dainese Metrax Air women's gloves are short summer motorcycle gloves designed for urban riding and warm-weather commuting. The construction pairs breathable mesh and Lycra on the back and fingers with a stretch palm insert, keeping the hand cool and free to move through a full range of bar inputs. The palm is synthetic suede with soft padding across the fingers, thumb, and palm for comfort on longer rides. Critically, the Comf-Tek knuckle protectors on this women's version are specifically sized and shaped to fit women's hands, rather than being scaled down from the men's design. Comf-Tek protection uses a soft PU viscoelastic insert assembled inside the glove fabric without seams, absorbing knuckle impacts while keeping the overall feel light and unobtrusive. Fourchette construction and careful seam placement eliminate pressure points across the fingers. Elasticated inserts allow the glove to move with the hand, and an adjustable cuff strap secures the fit at the wrist. A Smart Touch-compatible index finger handles touchscreen and GPS navigation without removing the glove, and reflective inserts improve visibility in low light. The gloves are certified to CE Cat. II EN 13594:2015 Level 1, the current European standard for motorcycle gloves. The short cuff design makes them quick and practical to put on and take off in day-to-day use. Key Features CE Cat.
