Product Information

Full details

The Madison Flux Waterproof Trail Gloves are designed for adult, unisex riders seeking reliable protection against cold, wet, and windy conditions without sacrificing handlebar control. These gloves offer excellent thermal comfort and waterproofing, ensuring hands stay warm and dry on challenging trails during transitional seasons. A potential caveat is their low-bulk palm, which prioritizes grip but may offer less insulation than thicker glove designs.

FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for very cold winter riding?

The Madison Flux gloves are designed for cold, wet, and windy conditions, providing good thermal comfort. For extreme sub-zero temperatures, you might need a heavier insulated glove or consider using a liner glove underneath.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to a sizing chart if available from the manufacturer, or measure the circumference of your palm and the length from your wrist to the tip of your middle finger. Ensure a snug but not overly tight fit.

Can I wash these gloves in a washing machine?

Yes, they can be machine washed at 30°C on a gentle cycle. Avoid using fabric softener or bleach.

How long does the waterproofing last?

With proper care and maintenance, the waterproof properties should remain effective for the expected lifespan of the glove. Avoid abrasive cleaning or high heat drying, which can damage the waterproof membrane.

Will the black color fade?

High-quality materials are used to minimize fading, but prolonged exposure to direct sunlight during drying could potentially affect the color over time.

Can I use these for activities other than cycling?

While designed for cycling, their waterproof and thermal properties make them suitable for other outdoor activities in similar conditions, such as hiking or running.

Troubleshooting

Hands feel cold despite wearing gloves

Ensure gloves are completely dry. For colder conditions, consider wearing a thin liner glove underneath. Verify that the gloves are the correct size and not too tight, which can restrict circulation.

Water is seeping through the gloves

Check for any visible damage to the fabric or seams. Ensure the wrist closure is snug against the jacket or sleeve to prevent water ingress from the cuff. Re-evaluate the waterproof rating if the issue persists after inspecting for damage.

Touchscreen compatibility is not working

Ensure the fingertips are clean and dry. Moisture or dirt can interfere with the capacitive connection. Try pressing slightly firmer on the screen.

Grip on handlebars feels reduced

The palm material may need a brief break-in period. Ensure the palm is clean and dry. For extremely wet conditions, some reduction in grip is inherent to all glove materials.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproofing for wet conditions.
  • Good thermal insulation for cold rides.
  • Enhanced grip and control due to low-bulk palm.
  • Convenient touchscreen compatibility.
  • Secure and comfortable elasticated wrist closure.

Cons

  • Low-bulk palm may offer less cushioning for some users.
  • May not be sufficient for extreme sub-zero temperatures.
  • Limited color options (currently only Black).
  • Elasticated wrist closure might not suit all wrist sizes perfectly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Madison Flux Waterproof Trail Gloves require no setup; they are ready to wear straight out of the packaging.

Compatibility: These gloves are designed for unisex adult use and are compatible with all standard bicycle handlebars. The touchscreen-compatible fingertips work with most capacitive touchscreens found on smartphones and GPS devices.

Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your gloves:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can degrade the waterproof membrane and fabric.
  2. Drying: Do not tumble dry. Hang the gloves to air dry away from direct heat sources or sunlight. Ensure they are completely dry before storing.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
