Klim Dakar Gloves

These Klim gloves fit more like American branded gloves than European branded gloves (which run a bit smaller). If you have experience with brands like FirstGear, Tour Master, Joe Rocket etc, I think you’ll find the fit comparable. If you have no previous experience with glove sizing, go here for help.

Just as an FYI, you may have previous experience with Alpinestars and REV’IT! which generally run about one half size smaller, size-for-size, than Klim. So if a particular size in either of those brands is roomy on you, then you may be able to go down one full size in this style.

These Klim Dakar gloves are a lightweight glove for summer use. A good portion of the back of the hand is a flow thru stretchy material and the fabric used on the inside of the fingers is light and stretchy, so the gloves will flow a lot of air for you.

These gloves aren’t highly protective because they are such a light weight glove, but they do have some thin rubber protectors over the knuckle and the palm side of the hand is a man-made suede material. They use a double layer of the material in the heel of the hand area. Overall, I’d consider these to be light duty.

For visibility, the gloves have some nice refectives on the back side of the fingers. The wrist closes with a Velcro tab. The Velcro is the “micro” type that doesn’t snag other materials. The index finger and thumb will operate your touch screen phone too. :: Paul, 05-08-17
