FAQs

Are these mitts suitable for winter cycling?

The Altura Airstream Mitts are designed for mild to warm weather. They offer good ventilation but may not provide sufficient insulation for cold winter conditions. For colder rides, consider mitts with more insulation.

How do I determine my size?

Measure the circumference of your palm at its widest point. Compare this measurement to the sizing chart provided by Altura, or refer to standard cycling glove sizing guides. The 'XXL' size is specified for this particular variant.

Can the memory foam padding be removed or replaced?

The memory foam padding is integrated into the mitt and is not designed to be removed or replaced.

Are these mitts waterproof?

These mitts are not fully waterproof. They are designed for breathability and moisture-wicking in dry or lightly damp conditions. For heavy rain, waterproof gloves would be more appropriate.

What is the main advantage of the Amara suede palm?

The Amara suede palm offers excellent durability and a consistent, secure grip on handlebars, even when hands become slightly moist.

How often should I clean my mitts?

Clean your mitts as needed, typically after several rides or when they appear dirty or start to retain odor. Regular, gentle cleaning will prolong their lifespan.

Troubleshooting

Reduced grip over time

Ensure the Amara suede palm is clean. Wipe with a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry. Avoid using oils or conditioners not specifically designed for suede cycling mitts.

Discomfort from padding

Ensure you have selected the correct size. If discomfort persists, break-in the mitts by wearing them for shorter rides initially.

Backhand fabric feels clammy

This indicates high moisture wicking is working. Ensure the mitts are not excessively worn or damaged, which could impede airflow.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent grip from the Amara suede palm.
  • Enhanced comfort on long rides due to memory foam padding.
  • Good ventilation to prevent overheating.
  • Effective moisture-wicking properties.
  • Durable construction for regular use.

Cons

  • May not provide sufficient warmth for very cold conditions.
  • Minimalistic design offers less impact protection than heavily padded mitts.
  • Suede may require specific care to maintain its condition.
  • Limited adjustability at the cuff.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These mitts are designed for immediate use with no setup required. Simply wear them for your cycling activities.

Compatibility: The Altura Airstream Mitts are unisex and suitable for adult cyclists. They are compatible with any type of bicycle handlebar.

Care: To maintain the quality and longevity of your mitts:

  1. Cleaning: Hand wash using cold water and mild soap. Avoid bleach or harsh detergents.
  2. Drying: Gently squeeze out excess water and hang to air dry. Do not tumble dry or place near direct heat sources, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
