Full details
The POC Agile Short Cycling Gloves are designed for adult cyclists seeking lightweight comfort and precise bar control during warm weather rides. They offer excellent breathability and grip, but may provide less padding than thicker gloves. These gloves feature a short finger design with a breathable mesh back, ventilated palm, and a thin palm construction for optimal bike feedback. Reinforced palm zones enhance durability, while silicone print ensures a secure grip. A terrycloth thumb panel and finger pull tabs add practical convenience for riders tackling road or mixed surfaces in hotter conditions.

FAQs
Are these gloves suitable for cold weather?
No, the POC Agile Short Cycling Gloves are specifically designed for warm weather due to their lightweight and breathable construction. They offer minimal insulation.
How do I determine my correct glove size?
Measure the circumference of your palm at its widest point (excluding the thumb) and compare it to the product's sizing chart. A snug fit is generally recommended for optimal bar feel.
Can I use these gloves for activities other than cycling?
While designed for cycling, their lightweight and breathable nature might make them suitable for other activities where hand grip and ventilation are needed in warm conditions, though they are optimized for bike control.
How durable is the thin palm construction?
The palm is constructed to be thin for maximum feel and feedback. It includes reinforced zones in key contact areas to enhance durability against wear and tear from handlebar grips.
What is the benefit of the terrycloth thumb panel?
The terrycloth thumb panel serves as a practical and soft surface for wiping away sweat from your brow or face, or for clearing your nose during a ride.
How should I clean the silicone grip elements?
Wash gently with mild soap and cool water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing, which could damage the silicone print. Ensure they are fully air-dried.
Do these gloves offer any padding for comfort on rough roads?
These gloves feature a thin palm construction for maximum feedback and control, with minimal padding. They are designed for riders who prioritize feel over cushioning. For more padded options, consider gloves with gel inserts.
Troubleshooting
Gloves feel too tight or restrictive.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Refer to the sizing chart. If still too tight, consider if a different glove model with more stretch might be more suitable.
Reduced grip after getting wet or sweaty.
Allow the gloves to dry completely. The silicone print is designed for optimal grip when dry. Ensure the palm material is clean and free of residue.
Stitching coming undone on the reinforced palm.
Inspect the stitching. Minor fraying can often be trimmed carefully. For significant damage, contact customer support regarding warranty or repair options.
Terrycloth thumb panel losing absorbency.
Gently wash the panel with mild soap and water. Avoid fabric softeners, which can reduce absorbency.
