Yes, it's tempting to just get on and ride away. Yes, your hands will be overheated before your bike is even running if you have to put on motorcycle gloves. Yes, it's not far and no, and chances are ...
Many motorcyclists secretly harbor some sort of excuse, but in the 21st century there is a solution for almost everything. With the Darko motorcycle gloves Macna delivers motorcycle gloves which can hardly be called gloves, while they still offer a certain degree of protection. This is the superlative of 'thin', and a very distinct summer choice. One drop of water and you’ll feel it in the Darko, which is made of light spandex and synthetic nubuck. The nubuck provides a degree of abrasion-resistance and serves in part as a structure binder for the RISC palm protector and Temperfoam knuckle protector.
Don't be fooled, of course: Macna knows what it's doing, and with an ergonomically contoured thumb, finger grip and a finish with great attention to detail, these are still high-performance motorcycle gloves.
Of course, you should bear in mind that wafer-thin high summer gloves can never offer the protection that, for example, racing gloves do.
