Product Information
Full details
The Madison Freewheel Trail Gloves are designed for mountain bikers and trail riders who prioritize handlebar sensitivity and direct control above all else. By utilizing a minimalist, single-layer palm construction, these gloves offer a superb connection to the bike, making them an excellent choice for technical terrain; however, riders seeking heavy-duty impact protection or thick padding may find the stripped-back design lacks sufficient cushioning for long-distance comfort.

FAQs
Are these gloves touchscreen compatible?
The Madison Freewheel Trail Gloves focus on grip and tactile feel; they are not explicitly designed with conductive fingertips for touchscreen use.
Can I use these for winter riding?
No, these are lightweight, thin-profile gloves and will not provide the insulation needed for cold weather.
How should I wash them?
We recommend hand washing with mild soap and air drying to protect the material structure and the silicone grip.
Do these gloves have padding?
These gloves are designed to be minimalist and do not feature traditional gel or foam padding.
What is the primary material used?
The gloves are constructed primarily from durable nylon, chosen for its strength and flexibility.
Troubleshooting
Silicone grip wearing off prematurely
Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners when washing and ensure you are not gripping the bars with excessive pressure during non-technical sections.
Gloves feeling damp after light use
While the nylon is breathable, ensure the perforations in the palm are not blocked by dried mud or debris by rinsing the palm area after every ride.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longest lifespan for your Madison Freewheel Trail Gloves, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Fit: Ensure the glove sits snugly without pulling tight across the knuckles to maintain maximum dexterity.
- Cleaning: Hand wash in cool water using a mild detergent to preserve the integrity of the silicone printing.
- Drying: Air dry away from direct heat sources, as excessive heat can degrade the synthetic nylon and weaken the adhesive used for the silicone patterns.
- Storage: Avoid leaving the gloves bunched up in a dark, damp gear bag after a ride, as moisture can lead to fabric odors and material breakdown.
