Full details

FAQs
Are these gloves suitable for cold weather?
No, these gloves are specifically designed for warm weather and prioritize breathability. They offer minimal insulation and are not recommended for cold conditions.
How do I determine the right size?
Refer to the product sizing chart, typically measuring the circumference of your palm and length of your hand. Ensure a snug but not constricting fit.
Can I use these gloves for mountain biking?
Yes, the Agile Short Gloves can be used for light mountain biking and mixed-surface riding due to their grip and bar feel. However, for aggressive downhill or enduro riding, gloves with more padding and protection might be preferable.
How durable is the silicone grip?
The silicone grip is designed for durability during regular cycling use. Avoiding abrasive cleaning methods and excessive friction will help maintain its effectiveness.
What is the main advantage of the short finger design?
The primary advantage is increased airflow and cooling for the hands during hot weather, along with a more direct feel of the handlebars.
Is the terrycloth thumb panel removable?
No, the terrycloth thumb panel is integrated into the glove's construction and is not removable.
Troubleshooting
Gloves feel too tight or restrictive.
Ensure you have selected the correct size by checking the sizing guide. Gloves may loosen slightly with use, but a significant tightness indicates an incorrect size.
Grip is reduced when gloves are wet.
While designed for ventilation, excessive wetness from rain can impact grip. Ensure the silicone prints are clean and free from dirt or oils. For very wet conditions, consider a different glove model.
Terrycloth thumb is losing absorbency.
Gently hand wash the thumb area with mild soap and water. Avoid fabric softeners, which can reduce absorbency. Allow to air dry completely.
