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.

Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...
