Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for cold weather?

No, the Chiba BioXCell Air Gloves are specifically designed for high breathability, making them ideal for warm or hot weather. They offer minimal insulation.

How do I determine my correct size?

Refer to the brand's sizing chart, typically measuring the circumference of your palm and the length of your hand. The sizing chart should be available with the product details or on the manufacturer's website.

Can I use these gloves for other sports?

While primarily designed for cycling, their features like breathability and vibration damping might benefit other activities. However, they may lack the specific protection or grip required for some sports.

How often should I wash my gloves?

Wash your gloves as needed, typically after rides where your hands have become particularly sweaty or the gloves have become dirty. Avoid overwashing to preserve the materials.

What is the benefit of the Easy-Clip buckle?

The Easy-Clip buckle allows you to fasten the two gloves together, preventing them from getting separated during storage or transport.

Will the Airmesh palm reduce grip on wet handlebars?

The Airmesh is designed for durability and grip in dry conditions. For very wet conditions, grip performance might be reduced compared to specialized wet-weather gloves.

How do the 'strings between the fingers' work?

These are small loops or tabs sewn into the webbing between your fingers. They provide a leverage point to help you pull the gloves off more easily, especially when your hands are sweaty.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel too tight or restrictive

Ensure the Velcro wrist strap is adjusted correctly – not too tight. If the issue persists across all sizes, consider trying a larger size.

Reduced breathability

Check if the mesh or ventilation areas are blocked by dirt or debris. Clean the gloves according to care instructions.

Hand numbness persists

While the BioXCell damping helps, ensure your handlebar position and grip are not contributing factors. Adjusting your posture or trying different grip positions might be necessary.

Damping material feels degraded

Inspect the BioXCell padding for significant wear. If the glove is still under warranty and the damping is compromised, contact the retailer.
