FAQs
How do I determine the correct size for the Chiba BioXCell Air Gloves?
Measure the circumference of your hand at its widest point (usually across the knuckles). For the XL size, this measurement should be between 25.7 cm and 27.0 cm.
Are these gloves suitable for activities other than cycling?
While optimized for cycling due to their vibration-dampening features, they can provide comfort and grip for other activities that involve prolonged hand pressure or repetitive motions.
How should I wash the BioXCell Air Gloves?
The gloves are machine washable up to 30 degrees Celsius. It is recommended to use the Easy-Clip system to keep them together during washing.
Can I put these gloves in a dryer?
No, do not tumble dry the gloves. They should be air-dried only to maintain their material integrity and shape.
What is the main benefit of the BioXCell cushioning?
The BioXCell cushion is designed to counteract pressure on the nerves in your hand, specifically preventing numbness and discomfort often experienced during long rides or activities with significant vibration.
How does the Easy-Clip system work?
The Easy-Clip is a small snap located on the gloves. When not in use, you can snap the pair together to keep them organized and prevent them from getting separated during transport or washing.
What material is used for the palm and backhand?
The palm features Airmesh for optimal ventilation, while the back of the hand is made of elastic, breathable materials for a snug fit and good airflow.
Is there a specific way to remove the gloves easily?
Yes, the gloves are equipped with a quick-pull tab and loops located between the fingers to facilitate easy removal.
Troubleshooting
Hand numbness persists despite wearing gloves.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. An ill-fitting glove, too tight or too loose, can still cause pressure points. Re-measure your hand and compare with the size chart (XL: 25.7-27.0 cm). Also, check that the BioXCell cushion is correctly positioned under the palm.
Gloves feel too warm or lack ventilation.
Verify that the Airmesh inserts and the breathable backhand material are not obstructed. Ensure the gloves are not excessively tight, which can restrict airflow. Clean the gloves if they are soiled, as dirt can affect material performance.
Quick-Pull tab is difficult to use.
Practice using the tab. If it feels stiff, ensure the glove material around it is not bunched up. The tab should become easier to use with regular application.
Easy-Clip snap is not holding gloves together.
Ensure both gloves are properly aligned before snapping. If the snap mechanism seems loose, check for any debris or damage to the snap itself. For washing, it's essential to use the clip to prevent the gloves from separating in the machine.
