FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for all seasons?

The Oxford Dakar 1.0 gloves are best suited for spring, summer, and early autumn due to their highly ventilated design. They do not offer significant insulation for cold weather riding.

What is the main protective feature of these gloves?

The gloves feature CE-Level 1 knuckle armor for impact protection and a combination of goat leather and Amara overlay on the palm for abrasion resistance and grip.

Can I use my phone with these gloves on?

Yes, the index finger and thumb are equipped with touchscreen-compatible material, allowing you to operate smartphones and GPS devices.

How do I clean the gloves?

Hand wash with cold water and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat.

What material is the palm made of?

The palm is constructed from goat leather with an Amara overlay for enhanced grip and durability.

What does 'floating knuckle construction' mean?

Floating knuckle construction allows the knuckle armor to move independently of the main glove structure, improving dexterity and comfort during hand movements.

Are these gloves waterproof?

No, these gloves are designed for ventilation and breathability and are not waterproof.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel too tight or restrictive.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Leather gloves can take a short break-in period to conform to your hand shape. Wear them for short periods initially.

Touchscreen functionality is not working.

Ensure the specific area of the finger/thumb is clean and dry. Sometimes, static or moisture can interfere. Try gently wiping the screen and the glove tip.

Stitching appears to be coming loose.

Inspect the area. For minor loose threads, carefully trim them. If significant stitching is unraveling, contact the retailer or manufacturer for potential warranty service.

Reduced grip on handlebars.

Check if the palm area is dirty or excessively wet. Clean the palm with a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry. Ensure no conditioning products have left a residue.
