FAQs
Are these gloves suitable for winter riding?

Do these have padding on the palms?

It is recommended to hand wash them to preserve the integrity of the fabrics and the conductive touchscreen material.

Troubleshooting
Touchscreen sensitivity is inconsistent
Ensure the conductive material on the fingertips is clean; oils or mud can interfere with screen responsiveness.
Gloves feel stiff after washing
Gently knead the Clarino palm material while damp to soften the fibers, then air dry completely.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent bar feedback due to the thin, single-layer palm
- Highly breathable design prevents overheating
- Enhanced dexterity from TruFeel fingertip technology

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance, tighten the hook and loop closure until the cuff feels snug but not restrictive. These gloves are fully compatible with modern touchscreen devices, allowing you to use your smartphone or bike computer without exposure to the elements. For care, hand wash with mild soap and cold water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or bleach. Always allow the gloves to air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, as high heat can degrade the Clarino palm material and stretch fabrics.
