Product Information

Full details

The APEX7 Trail Grip Glove in Black is designed for adult male mountain bikers seeking enhanced hand protection, improved grip, and better control over their handlebars and brakes across various disciplines like XC and Enduro. Its primary benefit is the combination of durability, lightweight comfort, and quick-drying properties, while a potential caveat is the faux micro-suede palm, which may offer less grip in extremely wet conditions compared to specialized rubber compounds. Key features include touchscreen compatible fingertips, a faux micro-suede palm for grip, reflective branding for visibility, and a gripper print detail for enhanced control.

FAQs

Are these gloves waterproof?

No, the APEX7 Trail Grip Glove is made from quick-drying synthetic fabrics, but it is not waterproof. It is designed to be water-resistant and breathable for mountain biking conditions.

Can I use these gloves for road cycling?

While designed for mountain biking, they can be used for road cycling. They offer good grip and protection, but may not provide the specific features or insulation required for all road cycling disciplines.

How do I know if I have the right size?

The gloves should fit snugly without being uncomfortably tight. They should allow for a full range of motion in your fingers and thumb. Check any available sizing guides for measurements.

How durable is the faux micro-suede palm?

The faux micro-suede palm is designed for durability and grip in typical mountain biking conditions. However, like all materials, its longevity depends on usage and care.

Will the reflective branding wear off easily?

The reflective branding is applied to be durable. Following the care instructions, particularly avoiding high-heat drying, will help maintain its reflectivity.

What kind of riding are these gloves best suited for?

These gloves are best suited for mountain biking across disciplines such as Cross-Country (XC) and Enduro, where hand protection, grip, and control are important.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel too tight or too loose

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Refer to the sizing chart if available. If the fit is still not ideal, consider trying a different size or model.

Touchscreen fingertips not responding

Make sure the fingertips are clean and dry. Any dirt or moisture can interfere with the conductivity. Ensure the device screen is also clean.

Reduced grip on handlebars

Clean the palm area with a slightly damp cloth to remove any oils or dirt that may have accumulated. Ensure the handlebars are also clean.

Material feels stiff after washing

This can happen if washed with harsh detergents or dried improperly. Ensure you are using a mild detergent and air drying away from direct heat.
