Product Information
Full details
The G Form Moab Trail Gloves in Black are designed for adult riders seeking enhanced hand and knuckle protection during mountain biking activities like Downhill, Enduro, Moto, All Mountain, and Trail riding. Their key benefit is the SmartFlex padding that hardens on impact while remaining flexible during riding, offering a balance of protection and dexterity. A potential caveat is that while offering protection, they are still gloves and may not provide the same level of impact absorption as bulkier protective gear. These gloves feature a synthetic suede palm, touchscreen compatibility, and moisture-wicking fabric.

FAQs
Are these gloves suitable for extreme cold weather?
The G Form Moab Trail Gloves are designed for protection and performance in typical riding conditions. They offer moisture-wicking and UPF 50+ sun protection but do not provide significant insulation for extreme cold. For very cold weather, consider gloves with dedicated thermal lining.
How durable is the synthetic suede palm?
The synthetic suede palm is chosen for its durability and grip. However, like all materials, it can show wear with prolonged, aggressive use. Regular cleaning and proper care will help extend its lifespan.
What does CE EN 13594 Level 1 certification mean?
This certification indicates that the gloves meet specific European safety standards for hand protection, particularly for motorcycle and related activities. Level 1 signifies a baseline level of impact and abrasion resistance.
Can I use these gloves for activities other than mountain biking?
Yes, these gloves are suitable for any activity where hand and knuckle protection is desired along with dexterity and grip, such as moto riding, downhill skiing (in milder conditions), or other outdoor pursuits.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Measure the circumference of your palm and the length of your hand from the wrist to the tip of your middle finger. Compare these measurements to the G Form sizing chart provided by the retailer or manufacturer to select the most appropriate size.
Will the SmartFlex padding be noticeable when I'm not hitting anything?
No, the SmartFlex padding is engineered to remain flexible and unobtrusive during normal hand movements and while gripping handlebars. It only hardens upon receiving an impact.
Troubleshooting
Gloves feel too tight or too loose.
Check the sizing chart and ensure you selected the correct size. If slightly too tight, try wearing them for a short period to allow them to break in. If too loose, they may not offer optimal protection or grip.
Touchscreen functionality is not working.
Ensure the fingertips are clean and dry. Sometimes, dirt or moisture can interfere with the capacitive touch. Make sure you are pressing firmly enough on the screen.
Palm feels slippery.
Clean the palm with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or oils that may have accumulated. Ensure the gloves are fully dry before use. If wear is significant, the synthetic suede may have lost some of its grip properties.
Padding feels too stiff or uncomfortable.
The SmartFlex padding is designed to be flexible during normal movement. If it feels excessively stiff, ensure the gloves are oriented correctly on your hands and that the padding is positioned over the knuckles. Allow a short break-in period.
