Dainese Carbon 4 Women's Gloves (MD and XL)

Falls Short of Expectations

“I like the design and the protection seems good, but I had a few problems. I tried both L and XL. My hands are about 7.5 athletic hands for comparison. The L fit but the XL fit a tad better, but it was still pretty snug. I usually just get a L and I'm good, but this glove seems to run a bit small. The stitching on the inside of the fingers dug into the space between my fingers and caused irritation/pain. Interior stitching also dug into side of my thumbs and wrists; very irritating. Bending my fingers became somewhat painful around the knuckles, I see the other review mentioned this. This gl”

Not for the short-fingered

“Really tried to make these gloves work since I like them so much, but it just isn't for me. Sizing seems normal overall, just depends on your hand shape. I'm usually a women's XS and these gloves fit around my palm, but had way too much room in the fingers & especially the thumb. I have short fingers, but if you have long fingers then maybe this will work for you! Aside from the length, the thumb had too much material coming from the palm side... it kind of stretched out weirdly rather than fitting the shape of a thumb, just felt uncomfortable.

Fits great! -women's small

“This is added info for the review from motoladyteacher. (That's me). It wouldn't let me modify my review to include this info: I ordered a size women's small.”

Awesome fit!!

“Best fitting gloves I have ever put on my hands! Wow! Totally hugs my fingers. These are definitely not coming off in a crash. Takes a bit of time to take them off but worth it. They are stiff but not so stiff that you can't go for a ride. I'll probably sit on the couch, watch some movies, and wear these gloves to kind of start breaking them in by moving my hands around.”

Quality is good, runs small

“These are my first Dainese gloves. I found the large size at a lower price and bought it, thinking it would fit my boyfriend. Surprisingly, they fit me instead. My hands are small to average in size (I usually wear XS-S in Alphinestars) The quality and feel are amazing, but the sizing runs small.”

Good for tiny hands

“I bought these some time ago. I have small hands and they work great. I wore them through the winter at night time ~55 degrees and was okay for 2-3 hour rides. Good protection. Can do touchscreen. Kinda expensive tho.”
