Dainese 4 Stroke EVO Gloves

I've worn 2XL in other brands. Measured hand and size chart provided suggested LARGE. Watched both videos. In 1st video, the guy says he's wearing a LARGE. In the 2nd video, the same guy demonstrates how to measure your hand...his measures 8". According to chart, that is a SMALL. He has gone up two sizes, to a LARGE. My hand measured 9" and I ordered 2XL....PERFECT FIT. Hope this is helpful to others unsure of size. Gloves look and feel great so far. Will be breaking them in soon.

I have had these gloves for close to a year. I've ridden in almost every possible climate excluding snow being as I live in Florida and I don't think it's going to snow here anytime soon!!! Every time I ride my bike I use these glove and have racked up about 7500 miles of usage on them with no real signs of wear yet!!!!!

In my short 8 years of riding I have had lots of trouble finding gloves that fit me comfortably. It seems like gloves are either much too restrictive or they have too much wiggle room making for a terrible time with throttle control.

I went on the hunt for a new pair of gloves and decided to try the 4 Stroke EVO's. The reviews were good, the gloves looked good, and I figured if they didn't fit (like all of the other gloves I've tried) I could just return them. I decided to use the Dainese sizing chart which said I was a LG. I was very skeptical of this since every other glove I've ever tried on was too tight even at XL. Either way, I decided to order based on the sizing chart and bought the LG. I only broke them in for about 30 minutes of wearing them around the house, practicing my "angry dad" look by clinching my fists in my wife and son's direction.

End result: they are the most comfortable gloves I've found yet! They fit, well, like a glove. They aren't too tight and they don't wiggle around either. I haven't had any reason to test their durability/protection, and hopefully I don't, but they certainly feel up to the task of protecting my delicate meat hooks in the event of an off. My hands don't get particularly hot in them during upper 80/lower 90 degree rides although my hands do sweat a little which does make the gloves a tight fit while putting them back on after a gas/bathroom break.

I'm very impressed by these gloves and now I'm looking at other Dainese products, specifically their textile jackets, to see if I can get a good fit there too.

See my video. Reinforcements are a huge plus. The only bad thing I might say about these is that the metal plate on the back of the hand constricts the flexing so it can feel a little tight sometimes. I have some other Dianese gauntlet gloves that do not have this and they are more comfortable.

upgraded to these gloves from some sedici gloves and im very glad i did. The Dainese gloves provided a better fit and feed back from the bike controls.
I had a high side at the track wearing the Dainese 4 stroke evo gloves (i know i should be wearing gauntlets) and my hands were perfectly protected. Overall my hand bones had a couple minor bruises but I would have a couple broken bones if wasn't wearing these. Hurts me to see them damaged but they did their job. I definitely recommend these gloves, excellent protection and great style and feel. Dainese always delivers.

They smell like real leather should and are stitched internally. Quite stiff but obviously built to handle a crash. These are a very well made pair of gloves, short cuff, and heaps of preotection. Jacket goes over them fine. definitely not a gauntlet glove. Attention to detail without fault.

I wear medium everything, and the medium gloves were just slightly large (only in the middle through pinky fingers though). Perhaps I have awkward-length fingers.

I love the steel knuckles, but am not a huge fan of the logo on the knuckles.

The gloves are hot, but they do breath, and I am 100% positive they will stay on and protect my hands in the event I go down.

I'm starting to invest in higher quality safety gear, my first purchase was a Shoei, now these gloves. I'll probably invest in a better jacket next.

I was not disappointed, though my GF does make fun of me for spending $180 on a pair of gloves.
One downside is that I don't leave my gloves on my handlebars when I park my bike anymore... just an added inconvenience when I have to walk into the store looking like RoboCop.

Good luck!

This glove is an overall very good product. After breaking in the leather it fits very well and feels comfortable despite being a thicker glove. The protection is very good and while I wish the palm slider was on both sides of the palm it can get the job done. The only real complaint is due to the weak and rather thin thread Dainese decided to use to stitch everything together. After about 5 rides the wrist strap buckle ripped. I’m not one to hassle with shipping stuff back and complaining so I Frankensteined it with some Kevlar thread. It’s a bit disappointing for a glove this expensive, I would have expected stronger stitching.

I purchased this glove a week ago and day 1 out of the box went for a ride immediately. upon first putting them on i felt a very stiff glove, very tough to close the hand. on the first ride i felt hand fatigue almost immediately. THESE GLOVES REQUIRE A BREAK IN PERIOD. if you are looking for a glove that is super comfortable immediately this is not the glove for you. having said that, after a week of riding (about 300 miles) and a low side crash later (first day with the glove), this glove is awesome!!!! after the break in it is very comfortable, the fit is great and the protection is even better. The features on the glove are all put to use when riding. i would recommend this glove in a heartbeat. get through the break in period and ride comfortably with the ease of mind that your hands will be protected in case of a crash.

These are my third pair of gloves. I have S&S summer gloves, AStar winter gloves, and now these. These are by far the coolest and most reinforced safety-wise. Also, the style and design have gotten me compliments on more than one occasion already! The material does take a lot of breaking in but it's totally worth it. Also, I have no idea if the grip addition helps but in order of throttle ease it would be in the middle.
