Product Information
Full details
The FOX Defend Wind Gloves are designed for adult male riders seeking warmth and dexterity in cool conditions. Their key benefit is windproof protection combined with touchscreen compatibility, allowing you to stay connected without removing your gloves. A potential caveat is that while windproof, they are not fully waterproof, so performance in heavy rain may be limited. These gloves feature a compression-molded neoprene cuff, a single-layer conductive AX Suede™ palm, and windproof back-of-hand material to keep you comfortable and in control.

FAQs
Are these gloves suitable for very cold weather?
The FOX Defend Wind Gloves are designed for cool, windy conditions. They offer windproof protection to keep hands warm, but they are not heavily insulated for extreme cold. For very low temperatures, a more insulated glove might be necessary.
How do I know what size to order?
Refer to the FOX sizing chart, which typically provides measurements for hand circumference and length. It is recommended to measure your hand to ensure the best fit, as a proper fit is crucial for both comfort and performance.
Can I use these gloves for activities other than riding?
Yes, the combination of warmth, dexterity, and touchscreen compatibility makes them suitable for various outdoor activities in cool, dry, or breezy weather, such as hiking, cycling, or general outdoor work.
Are the gloves machine washable?
It is recommended to hand wash the gloves with mild soap in cool water. Machine washing and drying can damage the materials and compromise their performance and fit.
What does 'windproof' mean in this context?
Windproof means the material is designed to significantly block or resist the passage of air (wind). This helps prevent heat loss from your hands due to wind chill, keeping them warmer than they would be in non-windproof gloves under the same conditions.
How durable is the AX Suede™ palm?
AX Suede™ is a synthetic material known for its durability and performance. While it offers good grip and touchscreen sensitivity, like all materials, its longevity depends on usage and care. Avoid excessive abrasion.
Troubleshooting
Gloves feel too tight or too loose.
Adjust the hook and loop closure for a secure but comfortable fit. Ensure you have selected the correct size according to the manufacturer's sizing chart.
Touchscreen is not responding.
Ensure the AX Suede™ palm is clean and dry. Some screen protectors may affect sensitivity. Try using a different part of the palm or finger.
Hands still feel cold in windy conditions.
While windproof, these gloves offer moderate insulation. For extreme cold, consider layering with a thinner liner glove or choosing a more insulated model.
Material appears worn or damaged.
Inspect the gloves regularly for tears or abrasion. Avoid contact with sharp objects. Follow care instructions to prevent premature wear.
