Dainese Udine WP Gloves

The Dainese Udine WP are men's waterproof winter motorcycle gloves built for urban commuting and short to medium-distance rides in cold, wet conditions. A D-Dry waterproof and breathable membrane keeps rain out while managing moisture from inside, and thermal padding maintains warmth across the hand without adding unnecessary bulk. The short cuff design keeps the fit clean and practical for daily use.

Protection is certified to CE Cat. II EN 13594:2015 Level 1 and delivered through a combination of thermoformed Pro-Tek knuckle protectors, a reinforced synthetic suede palm, and goatskin leather inserts on the side of the hand and little finger. Pre-curved fingers reduce hand fatigue on the bars and maintain sensitivity at the controls, while an adjustable wrist strap keeps the glove securely in place and holds the protective inserts correctly positioned during a fall.

Practical details include a Smart Touch-compatible index finger for touchscreen use without removing the gloves, and a visor wiper on the index finger for clearing a visor in the rain. Reflective inserts add visibility in low light, rounding out a glove that covers the essentials for winter commuting without overcomplicating the design.
