Dainese Rock Solid-C gloves


The Rock Solid-Cs have a hand-hugging fit and a thin palm, allowing for plenty of feel and feedback from the handlebar. We experienced a tiny bit of bunching in the palm but it didn’t affect overall comfort.

The stretchy, breathable backing means things don’t get overly warm when the sun is shining – with the exception of the Airprene cuff, which is pretty chunky – yet the fabric is thick enough to keep a chill off of your hands and ward off bramble snags. The silicone print on the index and middle fingers and part of the palm is showing no real signs of wear even after a good couple of months of use.
