Product Information
Full details
These Fox Racing Defend Wind Motocross Gloves in Purple, size S, are designed for adult unisex riders seeking protection from wind and a secure fit. The key benefit is maintaining hand warmth and dexterity in windy conditions, allowing for continued performance. A potential caveat is that the single-layer palm, while offering touchscreen compatibility, might provide less impact protection than multi-layer options. Key features include a compression-molded neoprene cuff for a secure fit, a single-layer conductive AX Suede™ palm for touchscreen use, and windproof back-of-hand material.

FAQs
Are these gloves waterproof?
No, the Fox Racing Defend Wind gloves are designed for wind resistance, not full waterproofing. They can handle light moisture but are not intended for heavy rain.
What is AX Suede™?
AX Suede™ is a synthetic leather material that is durable, provides good grip, and is conductive, allowing for the use of touch screen devices.
How do I determine my correct glove size?
Measure the circumference of your palm at its widest point and the length from the tip of your middle finger to the base of your palm. Compare these measurements to the Fox Racing sizing chart available on their website or product page.
Can I use these gloves for activities other than motocross?
Yes, these gloves are suitable for other outdoor activities like mountain biking, cycling, or any activity where hand warmth and wind protection are desired.
How much protection do these gloves offer against impacts?
The gloves offer basic protection through their durable construction and padded palm, but they are not designed as heavy-duty impact protection gloves. They primarily focus on wind resistance and grip.
What does 'compression-molded neoprene cuff' mean?
It refers to a cuff made from neoprene that has been shaped under pressure. This creates a cuff that contours to your wrist for a secure, snug, and comfortable fit.
Troubleshooting
Gloves feel too tight or restrictive
Adjust the hook and loop closure to a looser setting. Ensure you have selected the correct size by consulting the sizing chart before purchase.
Touchscreen is not responding
Ensure the AX Suede™ palm is clean and dry. Make sure you are making firm contact with the screen. Some screen protectors may interfere with conductivity.
Hands feel cold in very cold conditions
These gloves are designed for wind protection, not extreme cold. For colder weather, consider layering a thin liner glove underneath or opting for a more insulated glove model.
Seams are fraying
Inspect the seams for any loose threads. Trim any loose threads carefully with scissors. If the seam is significantly damaged, contact customer support for warranty information.
