The Altura Airstream Cycling Mitts are designed for adult cyclists who prioritize long-ride comfort and hand protection. These mitts excel at reducing road vibration and pressure through strategic memory foam padding, though they feature a specific suede palm construction that requires intentional care to maintain its texture and longevity over time.

Yes, the Altura Airstream Cycling Mitts are designed with a unisex fit suitable for most adult hand shapes.
While intended for cycling, keep in mind they are fingerless and offer less protection against trail debris or brush compared to full-finger gloves.
Measure the circumference of your hand at the widest point (usually just below the knuckles) and consult the size chart to match your measurement to the available range from XS to 2XL.
No, these are fingerless mitts and are designed for grip and vibration dampening rather than device interaction.
The palm is constructed from suede, chosen for its durability and reliable grip on handlebar surfaces.
The high-wicking backhand is designed for comfort, but always rinse thoroughly after washing to ensure no detergent residue remains against the skin.
Gently massage the suede palm while it is slightly damp to break up fibers and restore suppleness.
Ensure the mitt is fully pushed down to the base of your fingers before riding, which allows the tab to remain accessible.
To ensure a proper fit, the mitts should sit snugly against the skin without restricting circulation; use the stretch fabric to pull them over your knuckles comfortably. Regarding care, the suede palm requires attention: hand wash in lukewarm water with a mild detergent. Avoid machine washing or harsh bleaching agents, as these can damage the suede texture. After washing, reshape the mitts while damp and allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the material to shrink or harden.
