FAQs

Are these mitts suitable for winter riding?

No, the Altura Airstream mitts are designed for warmer weather cycling. They are breathable and moisture-wicking but do not offer insulation for cold conditions.

How do I clean the sweat wipe panel?

The sweat wipe panel can be cleaned along with the rest of the mitts using a mild detergent and cool water. Ensure it is thoroughly rinsed and air-dried.

What is Amara suede?

Amara suede is a synthetic leather material known for its durability, soft feel, and good grip, often used in gloves and apparel.

Can I put these mitts in the washing machine?

It is recommended to hand wash the mitts to preserve the integrity of the materials and padding. Avoid machine washing and tumble drying.

What does 'high-wicking' mean for the backhand?

High-wicking fabric pulls moisture (sweat) away from your skin and allows it to evaporate quickly, helping to keep your hands drier and more comfortable.

How do I know if I have the right size?

A properly sized mitt should feel snug on your hand without being constrictive. There should be no excessive bunching of material, and the finger pull tabs should be accessible. Refer to Altura's sizing chart for specific measurements.

Troubleshooting

Mitts feel too tight or too loose.

Check the sizing guide provided by Altura and ensure you ordered the correct size. If already purchased, consider if a different size would provide a better fit. For minor looseness, the stretch backhand may adapt slightly over time; for significant looseness, they may not offer optimal performance.

Grip feels reduced in wet conditions.

The Amara suede palm is designed for durability and dry grip. In very wet conditions, grip may be reduced. Ensure hands are dry before gripping handlebars and consider more specialized mitts if consistently riding in heavy rain.

Padding feels insufficient for long rides.

These mitts are designed for general comfort. For extended rides (over 3 hours) or very rough terrain, consider mitts with thicker gel or foam padding, or explore ergonomic handlebar grips.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These mitts require no setup. Simply wear them on your hands. Ensure you have selected the correct size for a snug but comfortable fit.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Hand wash the mitts in cool water with a mild detergent. Avoid using harsh chemicals, bleach, or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the materials.
  2. Drying: Gently squeeze out excess water without wringing. Hang the mitts to air dry away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Do not tumble dry.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
