Slippery leather things

During this winter I bought some Dainese D-Dry Titanium 'semi-winter' gloves - similar to these :

Theyre comfy and quite warm - BUT the leather of the fingers is quite slippery - not enough grip on the levers for my liking ; any suggestions for treatments to the leather, please? I tried wetting them then allowing to dry, several times, hoping it would dull the sheen a little, but to no avail.
