When temperatures start climbing, heavy riding gloves can quickly become uncomfortable—especially during long rides, stop-and-go traffic, or humid Midwest summer days. For many riders, mesh motorcycle gloves offer the right balance between airflow, comfort, and protection without sacrificing grip or mobility.
One option gaining attention this riding season is the Harley-Davidson Men’s Dyna Knit Mesh Motorcycle Gloves, part number 98137-23VM, currently available at 50% off through June 6th from Harbor Town Harley-Davidson.
The Dyna Knit Mesh Gloves were designed specifically for warm-weather riding conditions. Unlike heavier leather gloves that can trap heat, these gloves utilize ventilated mesh sections to increase airflow across the hands while maintaining important riding features like knuckle protection and padded palm areas. Harley-Davidson also incorporated a flexible flat-knit construction that improves mobility and reduces stiffness during longer rides.
Why Riders Choose Mesh Motorcycle Gloves
For many motorcycle riders, hand comfort directly impacts overall riding enjoyment and fatigue. Summer riding conditions can cause excessive sweating, discomfort, and reduced grip when gloves do not breathe properly.
Mesh motorcycle gloves are popular because they help:
- Improve airflow during hot weather riding
- Reduce heat buildup in traffic or at stoplights
- Maintain dexterity and throttle control
- Increase comfort during longer rides
- Provide lightweight protection for daily riding
The Harley-Davidson Dyna Knit Mesh Gloves balance ventilation with protection by incorporating padded palms, reinforced areas, and certified knuckle protection while still prioritizing airflow.
Designed for Real-World Summer Riding
The 98137-23VM gloves are especially well suited for:
- Summer highway touring
- Daily commuting
- Weekend rides
- Urban riding
- Warm-weather group rides
- Riders looking for lighter glove options without sacrificing protection
The gloves feature:
- Mesh airflow panels
- Flexible multi-knit construction
- Neoprene cuff with Velcro closure
- Padded fingers and palms
- Knuckle protectors
- EN 13594:2015 Level 1 certification with knuckle protection
For riders who want a glove that feels lighter and cooler than traditional full leather designs, this style fills an important gap between comfort and safety.
Why This Deal Stands Out
One important factor for shoppers comparing riding gear is overall value. The Harley-Davidson Dyna Knit Mesh Gloves normally retail for $65, but Harbor Town Harley-Davidson currently has them marked down to $32.50 through June 6th while supplies last.
Since this glove model has also been discontinued by Harley-Davidson, availability may become limited once remaining inventory sells through.
For riders searching for:
- affordable Harley-Davidson riding gloves,
- breathable motorcycle gloves,
- summer motorcycle gear,
- or mesh gloves with knuckle protection,
this current promotion offers a strong combination of price, airflow, comfort, and genuine Harley-Davidson styling.
