Dainese Full Metal 6 Gloves Review at RevZilla.com

[@mckricks1]

Do these gloves get hot with the fact they have no perforation? Five RFX1s look way better than these gloves and I'm leaning towards them. Any feedback would be nice. Also these gloves don't have the pinky-ring finger attachment. Do any of you find it too inhibiting when a glove has that?

[@MotorcycleGearHub]

Very nice gloves, but I would have liked to see a TPU slider on the base (palm side) of the thumb and not just a single slider on the outer heel of the palm. I have Dainese gear and they make excellent gear, but, having experienced in my own hands (pun intended) how two palm sliders will save the day, I tend to err on the side of excess hard sliding protection at the palm. Each rider has his/her preferences and gloves are a very-picky topic for many. I cannot but compare how Dainese continues to stick to one palm slider while my racing gloves from Racer, Weise, Ixon, Knox (Handroid MKIII, just got these for my girl), Scorpion and other top brands (e.g. Held, Richa) have two sliders at the heel of the palm instead of one. I've even seen Anthony mention the lack of a slider at the base (palm side) of the thumb. Incidentally, Alpinestars moved back to a single palm slider in their high-end current lineup, while they used to have two palm sliders on their GP Techs. Dainese and Alpinestars know what they're doing, so this is simply an observation of mine and both Dainese and Alpinestars are among my top choices of MC gear anytime anywhere; I absolutely trust them to engineer and design superb gloves made to shield the hands against just about any hazard. Going back to the aforementioned second-slider comment, there's no need for even a TPU slider per se at the base of the thumb, just some extra pro-sliding material like Superfabric, Stingray or even those oh-so-early-2000s oldschool rivets (LOL, just kidding with the latter). I still think that these Dainese Full Metal 6 are indeed apex predators (Anthony, I think I'm borrowing that word for my reviews, ha!) and these gloves offer lots of GP-infused protection with plenty of style. Lovely, highly-protective gloves from Dainese, and I really like the improvements over the previous Full Metal gloves. The wraparound gauntlet of the FM 6 is an excellent improvement; happy to see that protection and comfort move on the part of Dainese for these FM 6 gloves. Cheers!

[@prjgrudge]

Harry C Even worse situation on the Supertech R gloves...

[@FroggyCrimes]

For anyone looking at these gloves now. They are NOT for daily use or street use. The palm side of the hand is so delicate it requires very frequent conditioning and will fall apart if you use it daily. This info comes straight from Dainese reps in LA.

[@likasombodie]

I use it for street it is amazing

[@motonoob5485]

It's hard to imagine they would beat the D1 so it looks like small modifications (you are right, the cuff looks better though). This isn't a knock on Dainese...this glove is perfect. The safety of these gloves is insane...what do they have to add to make them CE2? or is it something small like....no pinky-ring finger mating.

[@RevZilla]

It's unclear what they'd have to do to technically meet CE2, as they haven't decided to test them to find out. -DrewZilla

[@IamMotionMedia]

the supertech r seems like it has stuff all protection compared to D1/M6 yet still CE1?!?

[@fireoil]

To my last thumb phalanx have been destroyed after a crash in 2012 when a car hitted me from side. i always looked for a gloves with this tiny protection after, know my thumb is ugly as f and criple for life. pretty sure i would have a normal thumb if i was wearing thoses. Look to buy them now !

[@Bryan-mg4gf]

Why you no CE 2?

[@GLouverd]

the kevlar stitching should be also in the left side of the palm in the thumb. its poor there and it gets worn and tears apart at least in my case.

[@KyleMicena]

For whatever reason Dainese gloves are super inconsistent. I wear mediums in literally every glove perfectly. I fit some Dainese gloves perfect in a medium, but in the Full Metal 6 mediums fit like a large, and smalls are too small. But these gloves fit me perfectly. Idk what's up with Dainese but they need to sort it out.

[@TrickRacing]

So the medium fits like a large of this glove? Im about to order i dont know medium or large

[@FrozenHaxor]

@@TrickRacing Best to try one in store before buying, its a hit and miss with the sizes

[@TrickRacing]

@@FrozenHaxorthere is no store in ohio, he said the medium fits like a large right?

[@FrozenHaxor]

@@TrickRacing They have a size guide on product page on their official website, perhaps that will help, it has exact measurements of your hand

[@TrickRacing]

@@FrozenHaxor its confirmed. Medium fits like a large from another channel review of the glove. Ordered medium

[@vasilisgreen]

How does it fit on the fingers? Does it have enough length on for the fingers to go in? I got an Icon and it doesn't fit right on the fingers, it's too short and i legit couldn't ride the bike with the gloves on.

[@maxpace4223]

Revzilla, which gloves would you recommend for street/daily use for maximum protection plus reasonable comfort. Are these too delicate on the underside as one comment below suggests? Thanks.

[@RevZilla]

Correct, these aren't good for everyday use. If you want race gauntlet gloves for everyday riding, consider the following. -DrewZilla *bit.ly/DaineseSteelPro *bit.ly/REVIT_Jerez3 *bit.ly/AStars_GPProR3

[@likasombodie]

Hi the fingers come about half an inch too long? My hand circumference is just under 8 inches should I go to an XS as opposed to S?

[@gobomanaga5615]

I wish these came in more matte colors, green, black, dark red, I love the design but Dainese color schemes are so flashy on the D1

[@CButl3r]

Another small gripe, Dainese does not love us Daytona or R6 riders with Blue bikes. Another year another lack of blue options 🙄

[@LostStylus]

Same with kawasaki green

[@jmap9821]

Customize it

[@iWashbar]

The D1 were very stiff when I bought them. They needed almost half a year to get ridden in, sry dont know how to say it in english. So, how long do the 6 need to get ridden in?

[@RevZilla]

They will probably take the same amount of time to "break in" for for you. -DrewZilla

[@drainmonkeys385]

Well… I would not pay 5 bucks for those without being able to try them on first…. Where can we find these to try on?

[@RevZilla]

Call your local RevZilla or CycleGear store to see if they are stocked near you to try on.

[@A1dize]

Hi Revzilla I can't decide between this and the Knox Handriod, my only concern is protection I don't care about the price. Also do you know of any other more protective gloves? Thanks

[@RevZilla]

The Knox Handroid Gloves do provide a bit more protection, but some find them to be bulky. Otherwise, we do not know of any more protective glove. -DrewZilla

[@A1dize]

@@RevZilla Thanks for the reply. What about the Alpinestars Supertech? Thanks

[@RevZilla]

The Supertechs and the REV'IT! Jerez 3 are also great pro-level race gloves, and they aren't as bulky as the Knox gloves. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/alpinestars-supertech-gloves *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/revit-jerez-3-gloves

[@A1dize]

@@RevZilla Thanks for the info, didn't know about the Knox ones! Keep up the good work From UK

[@gtadead]

can you get these perforated or can you recommend something similar that is?

[@RevZilla]

No, race-level gloves aren't available with full perforation. For a bit more perforation, consider the following options linked below. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/held-titan-evo-gloves *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/held-phantom-ii-gloves *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/alpinestars-gp-pro-r2-gloves

[@robpeters2296]

Are these that much better than the steel pro?

[@walterpereira543]

Hi RevZilla I'm looking for a replacement to my Druid D1s which fitted me fine and were great for the track but noticed they were too long on the fingers when worn with either my leather jacket or my 1 piece suit, those were a size M and was thinking perhaps I'd go the Full Metal 6s or the Steel Pros but one size down? You guys think that will solve the issue?

[@RevZilla]

No, these fit tighter than the Druids, so I recommend keeping size M instead of sizing down. -DrewZilla

[@Waltorious_Garage]

Thanks Drewzilla 👍🏽

[@JjjjMy1234]

Hmm, got rear ended and pushed into a car in traffic, accidently punched through the car in front of me's taillight.. Big shard of glass right thru my sedici gauntlets finger.. Think these would be strong enough to hold up better?

[@RevZilla]

Possibly, but it's hard to say for sure. Generally sharp glass isn't a consideration for racing gloves or even street gloves. Gloves do have a certain amount of resistance to puncture though. -DrewZilla

[@pranaysahayind]

It goes inside the race suit right?

[@RevZilla]

No, the gauntlet cuffs are worn over top of the arms of the race suit. -DrewZilla

[@-JonathanDeBruyne-]

How does the fit compare to the carbon d1 long? I have a medium in the carbon d1 and am looking to upgrade to something a bit safer.

[@RevZilla]

You would likely be the same size, but everything will be just a bit tighter at first. However, these gloves stretch and break-in more than the Carbon D1, so you want a tighter fit. -DrewZilla *bit.ly/Dainese_FullMetal6

[@drainmonkeys385]

I noticed the come in Harley colors

[@MrMatias910]

My hand is 21,5-8cm around the knuckels, What size would fit me best in these? Medium?

[@RevZilla]

Yes, I would recommend size medium. -DrewZilla

[@toadamine]

Held Titan is the same price and twice as nice. Astars GP plus is about the same but half the price. Dainese stuff never fits/works very well in my experience... I have a Dainese super speed jacket I just bought two months ago from revzilla that I've only worn twice because the the main zipper stopped working. $380 for a jacket and I only got about three hours of riding out of it... 🙁

[@IanHimself28]

You've had bad experiences. Try again.

[@baderalmoayed9418]

Do the glove have the same Fitment as the 4 stroke evo, I ware a size M

[@RevZilla]

They fit 1/2 size tighter than the 4 Stroke EVO, but if your gloves aren't too tight right now, you can probably wear size M in these gloves too. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/dainese-full-metal-6-gloves
