FAQs
Are these gloves waterproof?
The gloves are designed to be wind-resistant and thermal; while the nylon material offers some protection against light spray, they are not fully waterproof.
Can I wash these in a machine?
Hand washing is highly recommended to preserve the foam insulation and conductive elements; machine washing may cause premature wear.
Are these suitable for summer riding?
No, these are insulated gloves and will likely cause overheating during warm weather.
What is the primary material used?
The gloves are primarily constructed from durable nylon with a closed-cell foam top and a Clarino synthetic palm.
Does the touch screen capability work on all fingers?
The touch screen compatibility is integrated into the fingertips for easy device interaction.
Troubleshooting
Touch screen not responding
Ensure the conductive patch on the fingertip is clean and making full contact with the device screen.
Gloves feel too tight across knuckles
Adjust the hook and loop closure to allow more slack and ensure the gloves are correctly sized for the user's hand.
Silicone grip losing traction
Wipe the fingertips with a damp cloth to remove accumulated trail dust or mud.
Pros and Cons

Cons
- Not suitable for hot or warm weather riding

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the best fit, adjust the hook and loop closure at the wrist until snug but comfortable; ensure that the stretch gussets are not pulling too tight across the knuckles. These gloves are compatible with standard mountain bike grips and modern touch screen interfaces. For care, it is recommended to hand wash the gloves in cool water with a mild detergent. Avoid using harsh chemicals or bleach, which can damage the conductive material and the insulating foam. Always air dry the gloves away from direct heat sources, such as radiators or campfires, to prevent the neoprene and foam from hardening or cracking.
