FAQs

Are these gloves machine washable?

While hand washing is recommended to preserve the suede, if you must use a machine, place them in a laundry mesh bag on a cold, delicate cycle.

Do these mitts have a closure strap?

The Altura Airstream design utilizes a slip-on style with a stretch backhand, focusing on a streamlined fit without the need for velcro straps.

Can I use these for mountain biking?

Yes, they provide sufficient grip and vibration dampening for cross-country and casual trail riding.

Is the suede material real leather?

The gloves use high-quality synthetic suede designed to mimic the texture and grip of leather while being easier to maintain.

Are they suitable for winter cycling?

No, these are lightweight summer/spring mitts and do not provide the insulation required for winter temperatures.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel slippery on the bars

Clean the suede palms with a soft brush or a damp cloth to remove accumulated road grime and skin oils.

Difficulty removing after a ride

Always use the designated integrated finger pull tabs rather than pulling the fabric near the wrist to avoid stretching.

Padding feels flat or less supportive

Ensure the gloves are not being compressed while in storage and avoid using fabric softeners that can clog the memory foam pores.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reduces hand fatigue with memory foam inserts
  • Excellent ventilation thanks to high-wicking backhand material
  • Easy to take off with dedicated finger pull tabs
  • Secure grip provided by the suede palm construction

Cons

  • Suede material may require more specific care compared to synthetic leather
  • Fingerless design offers no coverage for fingertips in colder temperatures
  • Limited protection against severe abrasions in the event of a fall

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Altura Airstream Mitts last, avoid machine washing with abrasive items like velcro or heavy zippers. Hand wash in cool water with a mild detergent and allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources, as high temperatures can damage the suede texture and degrade the memory foam. When putting them on, ensure the palm padding is centered over the pressure points of your hand to gain the full ergonomic benefits. These mitts are compatible with all standard road, mountain, and hybrid bike grips.
