FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for very cold weather?

The FOX Defend Wind gloves are designed to block wind and keep hands warm in cool to moderately cold conditions. For temperatures significantly below freezing, heavily insulated winter gloves might be more appropriate.

How do I know if I have the right size?

The gloves should fit snugly without being uncomfortably tight. Your fingers should reach the end of the glove fingers, and the cuff should secure comfortably around your wrist. Refer to sizing charts if available or try them on.

Can I wash these gloves in a washing machine?

It is recommended to hand wash the gloves with mild soap and cold water. Machine washing and drying can damage the materials and affect the fit and performance.

Is the palm durable enough for rough terrain?

The single-layer AX Suede™ palm offers good grip and durability for standard riding conditions. For extremely abrasive conditions or frequent crashes, consider gloves with reinforced palms.

Will these gloves work with my bike's controls?

Yes, the design is intended for motocross and mountain biking, providing excellent grip and feel for handlebars and brake/clutch levers.

How does the hook and loop closure work?

The hook and loop system allows you to adjust the tightness of the cuff around your wrist for a secure and personalized fit, preventing the glove from slipping.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel too tight or restrictive

Ensure the hook and loop closure is adjusted correctly. If still too tight, consider a larger size or a different glove model. Allow for a break-in period.

Touch screen functionality is inconsistent

Ensure the AX Suede™ palm is clean and dry. Some heavy-duty screen protectors can interfere with conductivity. Test on different devices.

Hands still feel cold in windy conditions

These gloves are designed for wind protection, not extreme cold insulation. For sub-freezing temperatures, consider layering with thinner liner gloves or opting for heavily insulated winter gloves.

Palm material shows premature wear

Avoid excessive friction with abrasive surfaces. Ensure proper cleaning and drying methods are followed. Check for any defects in manufacturing.
