Product Information

Full details

The Endura MT500 D3O Cycling Gloves in Black are designed for adult, unisex cyclists tackling demanding trail rides. Their key benefit is the integration of D3O impact technology for advanced hand protection without sacrificing tactile control, crucial for technical descents. A potential caveat is that the zero-padding palm, while offering maximum bar feel, might require a short adjustment period for riders accustomed to heavily padded gloves. These gloves combine a breathable, four-way stretch fabric with specialized D3O Ghost Knuckle inserts and a silicone palm print for enhanced grip.

FAQs

What makes the D3O Ghost Knuckle inserts special?

D3O Ghost inserts use patented technology to create a material that is soft and flexible in its natural state but instantly stiffens upon impact to absorb and dissipate energy, offering protection without compromising flexibility or breathability.

Why is there no padding on the palm?

The 'zero padding' design enhances direct contact with the handlebars, providing superior bar feel and control, which is crucial for technical riding where feedback from the trail is important.

Are these gloves suitable for cold weather?

These gloves are designed with breathability for intense riding. For very cold conditions, you may need to consider thicker, insulated gloves.

How do I know if I've chosen the right size?

A properly fitting glove should be snug around your hand without being too tight. It should allow for full finger movement and not restrict circulation. Measure your hand circumference and compare it to the brand's sizing chart.

What is the return policy if I'm not satisfied?

Endura offers a no-quibble refund or replacement policy within 90 days of purchase if you are not entirely satisfied with the product.

Can I use these gloves with touchscreens?

The product information does not specify touchscreen compatibility. Typically, gloves with integrated palm prints might not offer reliable touchscreen functionality.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel too tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Try wearing them for a short period to allow the materials to adapt to your hand shape.

Reduced grip on handlebars

Clean the silicone palm print with a damp cloth and mild soap, then allow to air dry. Ensure your handlebar grips are also clean.

D3O inserts feel stiff or uncomfortable

The D3O material is designed to be flexible during normal movement and stiffen on impact. Minor stiffness during initial use may reduce as the material warms up with your body heat.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent impact protection on knuckles without bulk.
  • Superior bar feel and control for technical riding.
  • Breathable and comfortable for long rides.
  • Effective grip in both wet and dry conditions.
  • Durable materials designed for trail abuse.

Cons

  • Zero padding may take some getting used to for riders preferring significant palm cushioning.
  • Might be warmer than minimalist gloves due to protective inserts.
  • The black color may show dirt more prominently on dusty trails.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These gloves are ready to wear straight out of the packaging. Ensure you select the correct size for a snug but comfortable fit; they should not restrict blood flow or movement.

Compatibility: The Endura MT500 D3O gloves are designed for all types of mountain biking, including trail, enduro, and downhill. They are compatible with standard handlebar grips and shifters.

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

  1. Washing: Hand wash using mild soap and cold water. Avoid using harsh detergents or fabric softeners.
  2. Drying: Lay flat or hang to air dry away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Do not tumble dry.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing in plastic bags where moisture can be trapped.
