Product Information

Full details

The Oxford North Shore 2.0 Gloves are designed for adult mountain bikers seeking a balance of protection and control on challenging trails. Their key benefit lies in integrated knuckle and finger armour, offering robust defense against knocks and scratches, while the Amara palm and 4-way stretch upper ensure comfort and a superior grip. A potential consideration is ensuring the adjustable wrist closure provides a snug fit to prevent slippage during intense rides.

FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for cold weather riding?

The Oxford North Shore 2.0 Gloves are designed primarily for protection and grip in moderate conditions. They do not feature specific insulation for very cold weather and may not be sufficient for sub-zero temperatures.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided by the retailer or manufacturer. Typically, you would measure the circumference of your palm and the length of your hand.

Can I use these gloves for other sports?

While designed for MTB, their protective features and grip may offer benefits in other activities like BMX or downhill skiing, though they are not specifically optimized for those sports.

How often should I clean my gloves?

It's recommended to clean your gloves after significant use, especially if they become dirty or start to retain odors. Regular cleaning after muddy rides will help maintain their condition.

What is the warranty period for these gloves?

Warranty information typically varies by retailer. Please check the product packaging or consult with your point of purchase for specific warranty details.

Are the knuckle protectors rigid or flexible?

The knuckle and finger armour pads are integrated into the fabric and designed to offer protection while remaining flexible enough to allow for comfortable hand movement.

Troubleshooting

Wrist closure not holding securely.

Ensure the hook & loop surfaces are clean and free from debris. If the hook & loop is worn, consider replacing the gloves.

Reduced grip on handlebars.

Clean the Amara palm with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure hands are clean and dry before wearing.

Stitching appears to be coming loose.

Inspect the stitching carefully. For minor loose threads, you can carefully trim them. For significant seam separation, contact the retailer or manufacturer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: The Oxford North Shore 2.0 Gloves are ready to use straight out of the package. Ensure the hook & loop wrist closure is adjusted to a comfortable yet secure fit before each ride. Avoid overtightening, which could restrict circulation.

Compatibility: These gloves are designed for adult cyclists, particularly those engaged in mountain biking (MTB). They are compatible with all standard bicycle handlebars and brake/shifter systems.

Care: To maintain the integrity and performance of your gloves:

  1. Cleaning: Hand wash with cool water and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly.
  2. Drying: Air dry completely away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Do not tumble dry.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid folding them tightly for extended periods.

*Note: Avoid using harsh detergents or bleach, as these can damage the fabric and protective elements.*
