The Madison Flux Waterproof Trail Gloves are designed for adult cyclists seeking reliable protection from cold, wet, and windy conditions without compromising handlebar control. Their key benefit is keeping hands warm and dry on challenging rides. A potential caveat is that the slim palm design, while enhancing grip, might offer less insulation for extreme cold compared to bulkier gloves. These gloves feature waterproof construction, a low-bulk palm for maximum grip, thermal lining for warmth, touchscreen compatibility, a mid-length design for wrist protection, and a snug wrist closure.

These gloves are designed for cold and wet conditions, providing good thermal comfort. For temperatures significantly below freezing, especially with prolonged exposure, you might consider adding a thin liner glove for extra insulation or opting for a more heavily insulated model.
Measure the circumference of your hand across the knuckles (excluding the thumb). Compare this measurement to the brand's sizing chart. A good fit should be snug but not tight, allowing for full finger movement without restricting blood flow.
While designed for cycling, their waterproof and warm features make them suitable for other outdoor activities in cold and wet weather, such as hiking or running, provided the grip and dexterity are sufficient for your needs.
The waterproof fabric and taped seams are designed for durability under typical cycling use. However, like all technical apparel, care should be taken to avoid excessive abrasion or exposure to harsh chemicals which can degrade the material over time.
The low bulk palm is engineered to maximize your connection and feel with the handlebars and controls. This enhanced sensitivity allows for more precise braking, shifting, and steering, which is particularly beneficial on challenging terrain.
Yes, the mid-length design extends over the wrist area and seals with the jacket sleeve to protect against wind and cold, helping to keep the entire hand and wrist area warm and dry.
Ensure you have selected the correct size; a glove that is too tight can restrict circulation and make hands feel colder. For extremely cold conditions, consider a liner glove.
Check for any visible damage to the fabric or seams. Ensure the wrist closure is snug against the jacket sleeve to prevent water ingress. If the waterproof coating is compromised, consider re-waterproofing treatments specifically designed for technical apparel.
Ensure the fingertips are clean and dry. The conductive material may be less effective if soiled or wet. Some screen protectors or device cases can also interfere with touch sensitivity.
Ensure the palm of the glove is clean and dry. Oils or mud can reduce grip. The slim palm design is intended to maximize grip; if you require more padding, these may not be the ideal glove.
Setup: The Madison Flux Waterproof Trail Gloves are ready to use straight out of the packaging. Ensure you select the correct size for a snug, comfortable fit that does not restrict circulation.
Compatibility: These gloves are designed for cycling and are compatible with most handlebar setups. The touchscreen-compatible fingertips work with most capacitive touchscreens found on smartphones and GPS devices.
Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your gloves:
