FAQs
Are these gloves waterproof?
No, these gloves are designed for maximum breathability and do not feature a waterproof membrane.
Can I use these for other sports?
While optimized for mountain biking, their grippy palm and lightweight fit make them suitable for other cycling disciplines like gravel or BMX.
How do I determine my size?
Measure the circumference of your dominant hand just below the knuckles and consult the standard Fox youth sizing chart for the best fit.
Do the gloves provide knuckle protection?
They feature a lightweight construction prioritizing dexterity over bulky armor; they do not include hard-shell knuckle guards.
What is the best way to store them?
Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the material from fading or losing its elasticity.
Troubleshooting
Touchscreen sensitivity not working
Ensure the conductive fingertips are clean and that your finger is making full contact with the screen through the material.
Palm material feels stiff after washing
Flex the fabric with your hands after the gloves are fully dry to soften the Clarino material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience, pull the gloves on by the cuff, ensuring the compression-moulded fit sits snugly against the wrist. The gloves are machine washable; however, to prolong the life of the Clarino palm and the integrity of the TPR knobbies, it is recommended to wash them in a gentle cycle using a mesh laundry bag and air dry them away from direct sunlight. Avoid using heavy detergents or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the tactile grip of the palm material. Inspect the gloves before each ride for signs of fraying or material wear in high-friction areas.
