Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these gloves waterproof?

They feature water-resistant materials on the top of the hand to shed splashes and light rain, but they are not fully waterproof for submersion.

Can I machine wash these?

It is recommended to hand wash to preserve the suede palm and the integrity of the laminated fabric.

Do these provide impact protection?

These gloves focus on wind protection and tactile feedback rather than heavy-duty armor or hard-shell impact protection.

Are they suitable for road cycling?

While designed for off-road use, they work well for road cycling in cool, windy conditions due to their slim, aerodynamic fit.

How do I choose the right size?

Reference the standard sizing guide, ensuring a snug fit across the palm to maximize the effectiveness of the touch-screen and lever grip.

Troubleshooting

Touch-screen sensitivity is inconsistent

Ensure your fingertips are clean and that there is no dried mud or moisture on the touch-sensitive pads.

Cuff keeps coming loose

Check the hook and loop fasteners for lint or debris build-up and clean them to ensure a secure connection.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your gloves, follow these maintenance guidelines:

  1. Fit: Adjust the compression cuff hook and loop closure until snug but comfortable to allow for proper blood circulation.
  2. Cleaning: Hand wash in cold water using a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals that may degrade the suede palm or the laminate finish.
  3. Drying: Air dry away from direct sunlight or excessive heat sources, which can cause the suede to stiffen or shrink.
  4. Storage: Store in a dry, cool place. Ensure the gloves are fully dry before packing them into a gear bag to prevent odor buildup or material breakdown.
