Product Information
Full details
The Fox Racing Dirtpaw Gloves in Red are ideal for adult unisex riders seeking durable and comfortable hand protection on trails. Their key benefit is providing armored knuckles and a padded palm for impact resistance and comfort, while a potential caveat is that they are geared towards entry-level to intermediate riders and may not offer the highest level of articulation for expert-level maneuvers. These gloves are a perennial best-seller, known for their robust construction and reliable performance.

FAQs
Are these gloves suitable for casual cycling?
While primarily designed for dirt biking and motocross, the comfort and protection features make them suitable for casual trail cycling as well.
What makes the palm 'padded single-layer conductive Clarino®'?
This refers to a synthetic leather material (Clarino®) that is soft, durable, and provides good grip. The single layer is designed to offer comfort and a good feel for the handlebars, and its conductivity allows for touchscreen use.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the Fox Racing sizing chart, typically available on their website or product packaging. It usually involves measuring the circumference of your hand.
Can I use these gloves in wet conditions?
The materials offer some water resistance, but they are not fully waterproof. They are designed for dry to moderately wet conditions. Extended exposure to heavy rain may saturate the materials.
How often should I wash my gloves?
It's recommended to wash your gloves after particularly dirty rides or when they start to retain odor. Follow the care instructions provided for best results.
What is the main difference between these and more expensive Fox Racing gloves?
Higher-end models often feature more advanced materials for enhanced breathability, superior articulation, and specialized protection. The Dirtpaw gloves offer a balance of essential features and durability at a more accessible price point.
Do the armored knuckles impede my ability to grip the handlebars?
The armored knuckles are designed with direct inject TPR for protection while maintaining flexibility. For most users, they do not significantly impede handlebar grip, but some loss of feel compared to unarmored gloves is possible.
Troubleshooting
Gloves feel too tight or restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Try adjusting the hook and loop closure. If still uncomfortable, consider a larger size. Remember the materials will break in slightly with use.
Touchscreen functionality is inconsistent
Ensure the palm area is clean and dry. Some touchscreen sensitivity can be affected by moisture or dirt. Try a gentle wipe with a dry cloth.
Reduced grip on handlebars
Check that the palm is clean and free of dirt or grease. The silicone print at the fingertips is designed to enhance lever grip; ensure this area is also clean.
Stitching coming undone
Review the care instructions and ensure the gloves were washed according to guidelines. For minor stitching issues, a professional repair might be possible. Contact customer support for significant defects.
