You get what you pay for
It's not a cheap glove, it's good for protection from crashes and for cold days. Not so good when it's hot. I believe it's a honest investment. You get exactly what you paid for....

Solid gloves
Offer enough protection for everyday riding. Fit true to size especially after breaking in a little. Definitely worth the price.

Great entry to mid-level Dianese glove.
Stopped at the Philly store yesterday to try on some helmets and check out some other gear. Walked out with with these bad boys. Great pre-formed shape, fits all aspects of my hands except a very small amount of material is loose in between my thumb, palm and index finger. Maybe I could've gone with an xsmall instead of the small, but it still fits pretty dang tight. Great fitting, great style, and the carbon knuckles are badass aesthetically and protectively. We'll see how the palm support holds up after a long ride on the Street Triple :)

Great Product for Daily commute
I have been using Icon and Alpinestars as gloves, but this one is super light and NOT bulky. Jusyt like any leather it stretches out over time, so I got a size smaller...snug on the first few weeks but got more comfortable and breathable after daily use.

IMO better than the Alpinestars sp-2
Originally I tried the alpinestars sp-2 first. What I can conclude is the sp-2 feels and probably is just a bit beefier in terms of protection, however sacrifices comfort. The sp-2 small size was still too big for me and the fingers were too long. The dainese fits very good in the XS size for me and overall has significantly better finish. There's no padding inside of the glove except on the palm and the knuckles; so one thing i wish for is that the side (karate chop edge) would have better protection. Style wise, this glove is beautiful (love love love the lava red color. was originally going to get the full black but it's nice to have a little bit of flair).
Carbon cover is the nicer glove over sp-2.

Good first glove
This is my first glove. So far so good. Not sure how long the color will last, its already tinting my grips, however that just the underside. Somewhat expected. Fits nicely, extra confortable and cools well in 80 degree weather.

Need a "long" size
Let me start by saying I'm 6'4", 165lbs. I have long arms, legs and extremities with a lean build.
I originally got these in a large and while the overall length of these gloves was pretty much perfect, maybe just a touch long in the fingers, but nothing that would have bothered me, the width in the palm and wrist was too loose for my comfort. The exchange for a medium was painless, but now with the medium, the complaints have reversed.
The width in the palm and wrist is much more comfortable, snug but will break in beautifully I'm sure, but the length in the fingers and palm is just a bit too short leading to the padding in the palm to not line up with the parts they're there to protect and the metal loop for the wrist cinch to sit and rub right on the ball of the ulna at the base of the hand. I wish they offered a "long" size for people who need to fit big hands that aren't necessarily thick or wide because the parts of each size that fit, fit amazingly well and would be very comfortable if I had average proportioned hands.

Great gloves
These gloves fit great. They are very comfortable and have good airflow. There are still a little hot for warm weather, but that is something that you have to just deal with for premium protection.
