FAQs
Are these gloves suitable for mountain biking?
These gloves are specifically designed for road cycling. While they offer comfort and grip, they may not provide the level of protection or durability required for aggressive mountain biking trails.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the Giro sizing chart, which typically measures hand circumference. Ensure a snug but not constricting fit.
Can I use my smartphone with these gloves on?
The Xnetic knit material is not specifically designed for touchscreen compatibility. You may need to remove the gloves for precise touchscreen interactions.
What is the main advantage of the Xnetic knit backhand?
The one-piece Xnetic knit backhand provides a seamless, adaptive fit that conforms to the hand, offering superior comfort and reducing the risk of irritation or pressure points.
How durable are these gloves?
The gloves are constructed with quality materials for regular road cycling use. With proper care, they are designed to withstand typical wear and tear.
Are these gloves waterproof?
No, these gloves are designed for breathability and comfort in dry to slightly damp conditions. They are not waterproof.
Troubleshooting
Gloves feel too tight or restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The Xnetic knit will stretch slightly with use, but if immediately uncomfortable, consider a size up. Break them in on shorter rides first.
Reduced grip on handlebars
Clean the palm area with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove any oils or residues. Ensure the gloves are fully dry before use.
Fading color after washing
Ensure you are washing with cold water and a mild detergent, and air drying away from direct sunlight. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach.
