Product Information
Full details
The Altura Kielder Trail gloves are designed specifically for mountain bikers who prioritize tactile feedback and ventilation on technical terrain. These gloves offer an excellent balance of control and comfort thanks to their minimalist padding and breathable construction, though users seeking heavy-duty impact protection or knuckle reinforcement may find the lightweight profile insufficient for aggressive downhill racing.

FAQs
Are these gloves touchscreen compatible?
The Altura Kielder Trail gloves are primarily focused on grip and tactile bar feel; please check your specific version's labeling for touch-sensitive fingertips.
Can I use these for road cycling?
While designed for mountain biking, their lightweight and breathable nature makes them a viable option for summer road riding where tactile feedback is preferred over thick padding.
How do I determine my size?
Measure the circumference of your dominant hand at the widest point just below the knuckles and compare this against the Altura size chart.
Do these gloves offer crash protection?
They provide basic abrasion resistance for the palm and backhand, but they do not feature hard-shell armor for high-impact protection.
Is the Amara suede machine washable?
Yes, but it is highly recommended to use a delicate wash cycle and air dry them to preserve the material's lifespan.
Troubleshooting
Silicone grip on fingers feels slippery
Clean the gloves with water and a small amount of mild soap to remove trail grime and oils that build up over time.
Gloves feel too tight during long rides
Ensure the neoprene cuff is not pulled too high up the wrist, which can restrict blood flow; adjust the glove position so the seams align with your finger joints.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, pull the gloves on using the neoprene cuff, adjusting the tension so the palm fabric lies flat against your grip. These gloves are compatible with most standard flat and riser mountain bike bars. For maintenance, machine wash on a gentle, cool cycle with mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can degrade the grip and breathability of the suede palm. Always air dry the gloves away from direct heat sources like radiators to maintain the integrity of the synthetic materials and the fit of the neoprene.
