Altura Airstream Cycling Mitts - Black - L

While compatible, these mitts are primarily designed for road cycling with their specific padding and grip focus. For more rugged mountain biking, gloves with more extensive protection might be preferable.

Refer to the Altura sizing guide, which typically involves measuring your hand circumference. Ensure a snug but comfortable fit without constriction.

It is not recommended. Hand washing in cold water with mild soap is the best method to maintain the integrity of the materials and padding.

The memory foam padding is designed to conform to the pressure points on your hands, absorbing vibrations from the road and providing enhanced comfort during extended cycling sessions.

Amara suede is known for its durability and offers a good balance of grip and wear resistance for cycling use. Proper care will extend its lifespan.

No, these mitts are not waterproof. They are designed for breathability and moisture-wicking, making them ideal for dry to mildly wet conditions, but not for heavy rain.

A bonded cuff is a type of cuff construction where the edges are sealed together using adhesive or heat rather than traditional stitching. This creates a clean, smooth, and low-profile edge that is less likely to cause chafing.

Ensure you have selected the correct size by checking a sizing chart. The bonded cuff offers a snug fit; if it's uncomfortable, consider if a different size or style of mitt would be more suitable.

Clean the Amara suede palm gently with a slightly damp cloth to remove any accumulated oils or dirt. Ensure the mitts are fully dry before use.

While the fabric wicks moisture, extreme conditions can still lead to sweat. Ensure the mitts are not too tight, which can restrict airflow. Use the integrated towelling sweat wipe to manage brow sweat.

Ensure your fingers are not overly sweaty or sticky. Try pulling from the base of the tab. If the tabs become damaged, they may need repair or replacement, though this is uncommon.
