FAQs

Are these gloves waterproof?

The Fox Defend D30 Gloves are not advertised as waterproof; they prioritize breathability and impact protection for active trail riding.

Can I machine wash these?

Hand washing is highly recommended to protect the internal D3O knuckle pads and the integrity of the touch screen sensors.

Will the D3O pad interfere with my hand movement?

No, the D3O material is designed to be flexible. It moves with your hand naturally while riding and only hardens upon impact.

Are these gloves suitable for road cycling?

While they can be used for road cycling, they are specifically optimized for the impact risks and grip requirements of mountain biking.

Do these gloves come in different sizes?

Yes, they are available in sizes ranging from S to 2X to ensure a proper fit for various hand shapes.

Troubleshooting

Touch screen not responding

Ensure the index finger tip is clean and free of dirt or mud, as build-up can block the conductive surface.

Gloves feel too stiff during first use

The D3O material is temperature-sensitive; wear the gloves for 20-30 minutes to allow your body heat to soften the inserts for a custom fit.

Hook and loop closure keeps opening

Check the velcro surface for debris or lint, which can be removed with a small brush to restore the gripping strength.

Pros and Cons

Slightly heavier than minimalist summer gloves
Knuckle protection adds bulk
May require a break-in period for maximum comfort

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best fit, ensure the hook and loop closure is tightened firmly enough to prevent the glove from sliding, but not so tight that it restricts blood flow at the wrist. For maintenance, it is recommended to hand wash these gloves with mild detergent to preserve the integrity of the D3O inserts and the touch-conductive palm material. Air dry the gloves away from direct heat sources, such as radiators or heaters, to prevent damage to the nylon fibers and synthetic leather. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the material coatings and impact the touch screen responsiveness.
