FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for winter cycling?

The Polartec Power Shield Pro fabric offers insulation, making them suitable for cool to mild conditions. For extreme cold, consider adding a liner glove or a dedicated winter glove.

How do I clean the suede palm?

For the suede palm, it is best to use a damp cloth for spot cleaning and avoid soaking. After washing (if necessary, by hand in cold water), allow them to dry flat away from direct heat. You may use a suede brush gently to restore texture.

What makes the reflective design effective?

The gloves feature hi-vis and reflective Brevet bands on the back, designed to catch and reflect light from sources like car headlights, significantly increasing your visibility to others in low-light and nighttime conditions.

Can I use my touchscreen devices with these gloves on?

The product description does not specify touchscreen compatibility. Typically, gloves with suede palms may not offer reliable touchscreen functionality.

What is the main advantage of the streamlined fit?

The streamlined fit, achieved with a bonded hem and velcro closure, minimizes bulk and friction at the wrist, contributing to overall comfort during long rides by preventing chafing and discomfort.

How durable is the suede material?

The suede material used on the palm and thumb is abrasion-resistant, designed to withstand the rigors of frequent use and provide a reliable grip on handlebars.

What is the purpose of the perforation in the suede?

The perforation in the suede palm and thumb enhances ventilation, allowing air to circulate and helping to keep your hands cool and dry during intense activity or warm weather.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel too tight or too loose.

Ensure you have selected the correct size according to the sizing chart. Try a different size if available. A snug fit is ideal, but circulation should not be restricted.

Padding feels insufficient or excessive.

Padding comfort is subjective. If the current padding does not meet your needs for long rides, consider trying gloves with different padding configurations.

Reduced reflectivity after use.

Ensure the reflective surfaces are clean. Gently wipe with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners which can damage the reflective material.

Hands feel too warm or too cold.

These gloves are designed for variable conditions. For very cold weather, consider layering thinner liner gloves. For very warm weather, consider unlined or more ventilated gloves.
