FAQs

Are these mitts suitable for mountain biking?

While they provide good grip and padding, they are optimized for road and commuter cycling. For intense technical mountain biking, you may prefer a full-finger glove for added protection.

How do I determine my size?

Measure the circumference of your dominant hand just below the knuckles. Match this measurement against the size guide to ensure a snug but comfortable fit.

Can I machine wash these gloves?

Hand washing is recommended to preserve the integrity of the memory foam and the suede-like material. Machine washing can cause premature wear.

Does the sweat wipe work effectively?

Yes, the soft panel is designed for on-the-go perspiration management, making it easy to clear your brow without stopping your ride.

Is the fabric UV protective?

The backhand fabric is primarily designed for high-wicking and breathability, though it does offer basic coverage against direct sun exposure.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel too tight during long rides

Ensure you have selected the correct size; if the material is too tight, it may restrict circulation. If pain persists, check your handlebar fit or adjust your riding position.

Palm grip is becoming slippery

This is often caused by a buildup of skin oils or dirt. Clean the palms with a gentle soap solution and rinse thoroughly to restore grip.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reduces hand fatigue with memory foam
  • High breathability for summer cycling
  • Easy to remove after rides
  • Durable palm construction for longevity

Cons

  • Not suitable for cold or wet weather conditions
  • Limited to short-finger design
  • Suede material requires careful cleaning

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These mitts are unisex and compatible with all types of handlebar tapes and grips. To ensure longevity, always follow the care label instructions: hand wash in cool water using a mild detergent and air dry away from direct sunlight. Avoid using strong chemical cleansers that could degrade the suede-like material on the palm. Store the mitts in a dry place to prevent mildew from moisture buildup after a ride.
