Product Information

Full details

The FOX Ranger Fire Gloves in Black (Size XL) are designed for adult mountain bikers seeking warmth and dryness on the trails. Their key benefit is maintaining hand comfort in cool, wet conditions with water-resistant and fleece-lined construction. A potential caveat is their primary focus on cooler weather, which might make them too warm for high-exertion summer rides. These gloves offer a water-resistant AX Suede™ palm for grip, fleece insulation for warmth, an extended cuff for element protection, and touchscreen compatibility.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for very cold winter conditions (below freezing)?

The Ranger Fire Gloves are designed for cool to cold weather. For temperatures significantly below freezing or extended exposure to extreme cold, consider specialized winter cycling gloves with more robust insulation.

How do I determine the right size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided by FOX Clothing, typically measuring the circumference of your palm and the length of your hand. The 'XL' designation in the product title indicates this specific size.

Can I use these gloves for activities other than mountain biking?

While optimized for mountain biking, their warmth, grip, and touchscreen compatibility make them suitable for other outdoor activities in cool or wet conditions, such as gravel cycling or general hiking.

How often should I wash my gloves?

Wash your gloves as needed, typically when they become dirty or start to retain odor. Follow the care instructions carefully to preserve their material and performance.

Will the fleece lining become matted after washing?

Using a cold, gentle wash cycle and line drying significantly reduces the risk of the fleece matting. Avoid high heat or harsh washing methods.

What does 'water-resistant' mean for these gloves?

Water-resistant means the gloves can repel light rain and moisture but are not fully waterproof. They will keep your hands dry in drizzle or light showers but may not withstand prolonged heavy rain.

Do the conductive threads wear out?

The conductive threads are integrated into the fabric and are designed for durability. However, like any part of the glove, they can wear down over time with extensive use and washing.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel too tight or restrictive.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the issue persists, consider if the gloves are intended for a different temperature range. For minor tightness, repeated use may help them 'break in'.

Touchscreen functionality is not working.

Ensure the conductive threads on the thumb and index finger are clean and free from dirt or debris. Try pressing slightly firmer on the screen.

Reduced grip on handlebars.

Check the AX Suede™ palm for dirt or mud. Clean gently with a damp cloth. If the palm appears worn, it may indicate the gloves have reached the end of their lifespan.

Water resistance is failing.

Re-evaluate the level of water exposure. For persistent issues, a re-waterproofing treatment suitable for cycling gloves might be considered, though effectiveness can vary. Proper care and avoiding prolonged soaking will help maintain water resistance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

  2. Prepare for Wash: Close the Velcro closure securely before washing to prevent snagging.
