The Funes motorcycle gloves by DAINESE come with (almost) all bells and whistles. It’s no surprise that these are (almost) the perfect motorcycle gloves for those long, winter, cold motorcycle rides.
We add the word ‘almost’, just to keep the ambitious motorcycle manufacturers on their toes. The ideal, waterproof, warm and yet still allowing feedback to come through motorcycle glove doesn’t exist yet, even though these DAINESE Funes GORE-TEX Thermal motorcycle gloves do come close.
These winter motorcycle gloves carry Gore-Tex, Primaloft Gold lining and Cross Core technology. The latter is designed to offer continuous maximum grip when temperatures drop to near zero. If you add the Gore Grip technology for a better feeling on your handlebars and the Dainese Smart Touch system, you’ll start wondering how many technological systems can fit one seemingly simple glove. Oh right, the Gore-Tex, with all its waterproof and breathing properties, we figure it needs no introduction.
It is clear that DAINESE is no start-up and that the years of experience on and off the racetrack do throw some extra weight in the scales. There’s more knowhow here than in some laptops. Ergonomic Pro-tek knuckle reinforcements in TPU, Pro-Hand palm protection and extra goatskin reinforcements on the palm and fingers are just some examples of items that have gotten their place in these winter motorcycle gloves that are also found in more advanced motorcycle racing gear. Not that they resemble that. The Funes Gore-Tex Thermal keep things relatively tight. Functionality and high-quality materials over loud designs, something like that.
It’s a remarkable result. The long cuff, the light, ergonomic construction and the 4-way stretch that allow for lots of movability and flexibility, while keeping everything tight to the skin – the Funes are a winter’s masterpiece. The visor wiper on the index finger even becomes something of a fait-divers.
DAINESE itself calls the Funes Gore-Tex Thermal motorcycle gloves the ‘ideal padded thermal motorcycle glove’. We wouldn’t know about ‘ideal’, but we do see that they come close…
