Full details
The Fox Racing Dirtpaw Gloves are designed for adult riders seeking comfort and protection during off-road adventures. Their key benefit is the combination of a secure fit, durable materials, and touch-screen compatibility, offering enhanced control and safety. A potential caveat is that while durable, extreme conditions might require specialized gloves. These gloves feature a compression-molded neoprene cuff, a single-layer conductive Clarino palm, direct inject TPR knuckle coverage, and stretch mesh finger gussets.

FAQs
Are these gloves suitable for winter riding?
The Fox Racing Dirtpaw Gloves are designed primarily for moderate conditions. They offer some warmth but do not feature specific insulation for cold weather. For freezing temperatures, consider specialized winter gloves.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the brand's sizing chart, typically based on hand measurements (length and width). A proper fit should be snug around the palm and fingers without restricting movement.
Can I use these gloves with my smartphone?
Yes, the padded, single-layer conductive Clarino palm is designed to be touch screen compatible, allowing you to use most smartphones and other capacitive touch devices.
How durable is the Clarino palm?
The Clarino palm is a synthetic leather known for its durability and grip. While resistant to abrasion, extremely rough or prolonged contact with abrasive surfaces can lead to wear over time.
What is the main difference between these and other Fox Racing gloves?
The Dirtpaw model emphasizes a balance of comfort, protection (especially knuckle coverage), and grip for general off-road use. Other models might focus more on extreme weather, lightweight racing, or enhanced impact protection.
Can the knuckle protection be removed?
No, the direct inject TPR knuckle coverage is integrated into the glove's design and cannot be removed.
How often should I wash my gloves?
It is recommended to wash your gloves after particularly sweaty rides or when they become visibly dirty. Regular cleaning helps maintain grip and material integrity.
Troubleshooting
Gloves feel too tight or restrictive.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. For a slightly looser fit, try stretching them gently after a wash (before drying). If consistently too tight, consider a larger size.
Touch screen compatibility is not working.
Ensure the Clarino palm area is clean and dry. Oils or dirt can interfere with conductivity. Test on a known working device. Some screen protectors may reduce sensitivity.
Grip feels reduced, especially when wet.
Clean the palm area with mild soap and water and allow them to air dry completely. The silicone print may need cleaning to restore optimal grip.
Seams are fraying after use.
Minor fraying is normal with heavy use. If seams are significantly coming apart, check for manufacturing defects. Avoid harsh scrubbing during cleaning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
These gloves are designed for immediate use out of the package. Ensure you have selected the correct size for a snug but comfortable fit. The neoprene cuff should rest securely on your wrist without restricting blood flow.

The primary function of these gloves is hand protection and grip enhancement for cycling and motocross. The touch screen compatible palm allows for interaction with most capacitive touch screens (smartphones, GPS devices). They are compatible with a wide range of handlebars and controls.
Care Instructions:
To maintain the performance and longevity of your Fox Racing Dirtpaw Gloves:
- Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. Always close the hook-and-loop fasteners (velcro) before washing to prevent damage to the fabric or other laundry items.
- Drying: Line dry the gloves. Avoid direct heat sources.
- Bleaching/Ironing: Do not bleach or iron the gloves, as this can damage the materials.
- Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
