FAQs

Can I use these gloves with touchscreen devices?

While not explicitly marketed as touch-capacitive, the thin, synthetic leather construction often allows for basic touchscreen operation, though results may vary depending on your device screen protector.

Are these gloves waterproof?

No, they are designed for breathability and moisture-wicking, not for waterproofing. They will get wet in heavy rain.

Should I size up if I am between sizes?

Given the four-way stretch material, it is generally recommended to stick to your standard size to ensure the D3O knuckle protection stays in the correct position.

How does D3O work?

D3O is a non-Newtonian material that is soft and flexible during normal movement but locks its molecules together instantly upon high-velocity impact to dissipate energy.

Is the glove machine washable?

Hand washing is highly recommended to protect the D3O inserts and the longevity of the synthetic leather palms.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel stiff or restrictive

The D3O inserts may need to be 'warmed up' by the heat of your hand to become fully pliable; try wearing them for 5-10 minutes of riding to allow the material to conform.

Silicone grip losing traction

Over time, dirt and oils can build up on the silicone print; wash the gloves with mild detergent to restore the original grip level.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • D3O technology provides excellent protection without bulky armor
  • Breathable, four-way stretch fabric keeps hands cool
  • Silicone palm print offers outstanding grip on controls
  • Minimalist design allows for precise brake and shifter feel

Cons

  • Zero-padding may feel thin for riders used to cushioned palms
  • Not intended for cold-weather insulation
  • D3O inserts can feel slightly stiffer than standard gloves if not positioned correctly

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To get the best fit, ensure the D3O sections align comfortably over your knuckles without restricting blood flow. These gloves are unisex and designed for a snug, performance-oriented fit. Because they utilize D3O, avoid storing them in extremely hot environments (like a sealed car dashboard in summer), as intense heat can affect the integrity of the protective inserts. To clean, use mild soap and cool water, hand-washing them gently to preserve the silicone grip and synthetic leather. Air dry away from direct heat sources to maintain the elasticity of the four-way stretch fabric.
