FAQs
Are these gloves suitable for cold weather?
No, the POC Agile Short Glove is designed for warm weather due to its highly breathable and lightweight construction. For colder conditions, a different glove model with insulation would be more appropriate.
Can I use these gloves for cycling in the rain?
While the gloves offer some protection, they are not waterproof. The mesh and perforated palm will allow water to pass through. They are best suited for dry conditions. For wet weather, consider waterproof cycling gloves.
How do I determine my size?
Measure the circumference of your palm at its widest point (excluding the thumb). Compare this measurement to the sizing chart provided by POC. A snug fit is recommended for optimal grip and control.
Are the silicone grip areas durable?
The silicone print provides enhanced grip and is designed for durability under normal cycling use. However, excessive abrasion or improper washing may affect their longevity.
What is the purpose of the reinforced zone on the palm?
The reinforced zone adds extra durability to the palm area, which typically experiences the most wear from handlebar contact. It helps to prolong the life of the gloves and maintain a consistent feel.
Do these gloves offer padding?
The POC Agile Short Glove focuses on lightweight design and grip, and does not feature significant padding. For riders seeking enhanced cushioning on long rides, padded glove models would be a better choice.
How do I clean the terrycloth nose wipe?
The terrycloth nose wipe can be cleaned along with the rest of the glove during the machine wash cycle. Ensure the gloves are fully air-dried afterwards.
Troubleshooting
Gloves feel too tight or restrictive.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Refer to the sizing chart and measure your hand circumference. The mesh is designed to stretch, but an incorrect initial size will not improve with wear.
Grip is reduced after washing.
Check that no fabric softener was used. Ensure the gloves have been air-dried thoroughly. Minor reductions in grip can occur over time with heavy use.
Pull tabs are difficult to use.
The pull tabs are designed for a snug fit. Try gripping them firmly between the middle fingers and pulling outwards. Ensure no debris is caught in the tabs.
Terrycloth nose wipe is stiff.
Wash the gloves according to the care instructions. The terrycloth should soften after washing. Avoid using harsh detergents.
