FAQs

Are these mitts suitable for mountain biking?

While versatile, the Freewheel mitts are primarily designed for road cycling. For mountain biking, where impacts and abrasion are more common, gloves with more robust protection and grip might be preferable.

How do I determine the right size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided by Madison, which typically involves measuring the circumference of your palm. A snug but not constricting fit is ideal.

Can I wash these in a washing machine?

It is recommended to hand wash these mitts with mild soap in cool water to preserve the materials and reflective elements. Machine washing is not advised.

What is the warranty period?

The Madison Freewheel Mitts come with a limited lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects.

Do these mitts offer protection in case of a fall?

These mitts offer basic protection against abrasions. They are not designed as protective gear for significant impacts during a crash.

Are they waterproof?

No, the Freewheel mitts are not waterproof. They are designed for breathability and comfort in dry to slightly damp conditions, not heavy rain.

Troubleshooting

Mitts feel too tight or too loose

Adjust the hook-and-loop wrist closure. Ensure you have selected the correct size based on the product's sizing guide.

Palm padding feels insufficient on longer rides

Consider your typical ride duration. For rides exceeding 3 hours, a mitt with more substantial padding might be more suitable. Ensure correct sizing for even pressure distribution.

Sweat management is not optimal

Wipe sweat away with the brow wipe on the thumb. Ensure the mitts are not overly tight, which can restrict ventilation. Consider lighter gloves for very hot conditions if these prove insufficient.

Reflective print appears faded

While durable, reflective elements can degrade over time with excessive washing or abrasion. Ensure proper care as per instructions.
