Full details
The Alé Cycling Unisex Sunselect Crono Summer Gloves in Pink are designed for adult cyclists seeking advanced sun protection and comfort during rides. Their key benefit is the scientifically developed SunSelect fabric, which filters UV rays to provide a safer tan, while the anti-shock gel offers superior grip and protection. A potential consideration is that while offering UV protection, they do not provide complete sunblock for the hands.

FAQs
What makes the SunSelect fabric special?
The SunSelect fabric is scientifically developed to filter UV waves, offering a controlled level of sun protection to your skin while allowing for a safer tan compared to standard materials.
Do these gloves offer complete sunblock?
No, the SunSelect fabric provides UV filtering, not complete sunblock. It helps control the UV rays that reach your skin, but prolonged exposure may still result in tanning or sunburn.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The gloves should fit snugly without being constrictive. Measure your hand circumference and compare it to the brand's sizing chart for the best fit. There should be no excessive bunching or pulling.
Can I use these gloves in cold weather?
These gloves are designed as summer gloves with features focused on sun protection and ventilation. They are not insulated and are not recommended for cold weather cycling.
How durable is the suede palm?
The traditional suede construction is chosen for its premium feel and grip. With proper care, it is durable for regular cycling use, but avoid excessive moisture and abrasive cleaning.
What is the purpose of the anti-shock gel?
The anti-shock gel is strategically placed to absorb vibrations from the road or trails, reducing hand fatigue and enhancing comfort during long rides.
Are these gloves suitable for mountain biking?
While designed with aerodynamic features for road cycling, the anti-shock gel and grip enhance suitability for various cycling disciplines, including some off-road use where hand protection and comfort are needed.
Troubleshooting
Gloves feel too tight or too loose
Ensure you have selected the correct size based on your hand measurements. If still uncomfortable, consider trying a different size if available.
Reduced grip after getting wet
Allow the gloves to dry completely. The suede palm may offer reduced grip when saturated but should return to normal once dry.
Fabric feels less effective after washing
Ensure you are following the care instructions precisely, using only cold water and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or drying, which can damage the specialized fabric.
