FAQs
Are these gloves suitable for mountain biking?
Yes, their breathable design and ergonomic padding make them suitable for XC and trail riding where ventilation is a priority.
Can I put these in the dryer?
No, it is recommended to air dry them to prevent damage to the elastic fibers and natural latex.
What is ECONYL?
ECONYL is a high-quality nylon made entirely from waste, such as recycled fishing nets, which helps keep oceans clean.
Do these gloves offer wrist protection?
These gloves are designed without wrist closures for maximum mobility and do not offer structural wrist support.
How do I determine my size?
Measure the circumference of your hand at its widest point, excluding the thumb, and refer to the Chiba size chart.
Are they safe for sensitive skin?
Yes, they feature a soft cotton lining on the palm to ensure comfort against the skin.
Troubleshooting
Gloves feel slippery during intense sweat
Ensure you are using the correct size; if they are too loose, the recycled microfiber palm may shift. If they remain slippery, ensure they are washed regularly to remove salt buildup.
Padding feels compressed after many uses
Natural latex can compress over time. Washing the gloves in cool water and allowing them to air dry can help the material recover some of its original loft.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These mitts are designed for a 'slip-on' fit, so ensure you select the correct size for your hand circumference to prevent them from sliding during use. Because they are constructed from nylon, microfiber, and cotton, maintenance is straightforward. You can machine wash these gloves at temperatures up to 30 degrees Celsius. It is recommended to air dry them away from direct heat sources to preserve the elasticity of the fabric and the integrity of the natural latex padding. Avoid using harsh chemical bleaches, as these may damage the recycled fabrics.
