Altura Airstream Mitts - Red

The Airstream Mitts focus on a minimalist design with key comfort features like memory foam padding and a perforated Amara suede palm for superior grip and breathability, unlike bulkier gloves with extensive padding or closures.

These mitts are primarily designed for comfort in moderate to warm conditions due to their high-wicking and breathable features. They may not provide sufficient insulation for cold weather riding.

Refer to the sizing guide provided by Altura, typically measuring your hand circumference. The mitts should fit snugly without restricting movement.

No, machine washing is not recommended. Hand washing in cool water with mild soap is the preferred method to preserve the material and padding.

Clean your mitts as needed, especially after rides where they become significantly soiled or sweaty. Regular gentle cleaning will prolong their lifespan.

The memory foam padding is designed to enhance comfort by absorbing road shock and vibrations, reducing hand fatigue on longer cycling journeys.

The product description indicates a 'Red' color family. While specific vibrancy can vary, it is a distinct color option for those who prefer visible cycling apparel.

Ensure the palm is clean and dry. If the suede becomes stiff, a gentle brushing might restore some texture. Re-evaluate cleaning method if issue persists.

The memory foam may need a few rides to break in and conform to your hand shape. Ensure you have selected the correct size for a snug, but not overly tight, fit.

While the fabric wicks moisture, extreme conditions may still lead to sweat. Ensure the mitts fit properly and consider that the sweat wipe is for quick clearing, not continuous absorption.
