FAQs
What material is the palm made of?
The palm is made of a durable synthetic material designed for grip and longevity.
How much padding do these gloves have?
These gloves feature medium-density foam padding, designed to absorb road vibrations without feeling overly bulky.
Are these gloves suitable for winter cycling?
These gloves are designed for general cycling comfort and are likely best suited for mild to warm weather conditions. They may not provide sufficient insulation for cold winter rides.
Can I use these gloves with my smartphone?
The synthetic palm material is not designed for touchscreen compatibility. You will likely need to remove the gloves to operate a smartphone or GPS device.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the brand's sizing chart, typically found on their website or the product packaging. Measure your hand circumference and length as instructed.
What is the main benefit of the foam padding?
The foam padding is designed to absorb shocks and vibrations from the road, reducing hand fatigue and improving comfort during rides.
Troubleshooting
Gloves feel too tight or too loose at the wrist
Adjust the hook-and-loop closure at the wrist. Tighten for a more secure feel or loosen for greater comfort. Ensure the padding sits flat against your palm.
Reduced grip after use
Clean the synthetic palm gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure they are fully dried before use. Persistent grip issues may indicate wear and tear.
Hands feel uncomfortable or numb
Check that the glove size is correct. Ensure the wrist closure is not too tight, restricting blood flow. Reposition the glove to ensure padding is correctly aligned with the palm's pressure points.
