Waterproof Thermal Protection in a Short Cuff Profile

The Dainese Tempest 2 D-Dry Short Cuff Gloves are engineered for riders who demand reliable weather protection without the bulk of a traditional long gauntlet. Featuring a breathable D-Dry membrane and Fiberfill thermal lining, these gloves are purpose-built to manage cold and wet conditions during winter and mid-season rides. The combination of four-way stretch fabric and an ergonomic pre-curved design ensures immediate comfort and tactile feedback from the first kilometre.

Ergonomic Construction and Safety Standards

The Tempest 2 D-Dry Short Cuff prioritises rider mobility through its technical fabric construction and pre-curved finger design, which reduces the physical effort required to maintain a grip on the handlebars.
