Full details
The POC Agile Short Gloves are designed for adult cyclists seeking enhanced comfort and control during hot summer rides. Their key benefit is superior ventilation, keeping hands cool and dry. A potential caveat is their thin construction, which may offer less padding for riders preferring more cushioning. These gloves combine a lightweight mesh back with a breathable palm, featuring a thin construction for direct handlebar feel, silicone grip on fingers, a terrycloth nosewipe, and a short finger design ideal for warm weather.

FAQs
Are these gloves suitable for cold weather?
No, the POC Agile Short Gloves are specifically designed for warm to hot weather conditions due to their lightweight and highly breathable materials. They offer minimal insulation.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by POC, which typically involves measuring the circumference of your palm. A snug but comfortable fit is ideal.
Can I use these gloves for mountain biking?
While they can be used for light trail riding, their thin construction and focus on a direct feel might not offer the level of protection or padding some riders prefer for aggressive mountain biking.
How durable is the thin palm material?
The thin palm is designed for optimal feel and breathability. For riders who frequently crash or handle rough surfaces without gloves, durability may be a consideration. Proper care will help extend their lifespan.
What is the purpose of the terrycloth patch?
The terrycloth patch, usually located on the thumb or finger, is designed for easily wiping away sweat from your forehead or face during strenuous efforts without smudging your vision.
Do these gloves offer any impact protection?
The Agile Short Gloves primarily focus on grip, comfort, and ventilation. They do not feature significant padding or armor for impact protection.
Troubleshooting
Gloves feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Check the sizing guide if available. For minor tightness, continued use may stretch them slightly, but excessive tightness can impede circulation and comfort.
Reduced grip performance
Clean the palm and finger surfaces with a damp cloth to remove any dirt, oils, or residues that might affect the silicone grip. Ensure the gloves are fully dry before use.
Sweat buildup despite ventilation
While designed for high breathability, extreme heat can still cause sweating. Utilize the terrycloth nosewipe to manage sweat. Ensure proper hydration, as dehydration can exacerbate sweating.
