Product Information
Full details
The Altura Airstream Mitts are designed for adult cyclists seeking a comfortable and stylish accessory to complement their riding gear. Their key benefit is the enhanced comfort and hand protection provided by memory foam padding and a soft Amara suede palm. A potential consideration is that the bold designs, while eye-catching, may not suit minimalist aesthetics.

FAQs
Are these mitts suitable for all weather conditions?
The Altura Airstream Mitts are best suited for mild to warm weather. They offer comfort and protection but do not provide significant insulation for cold conditions.
How do I determine my correct size?
Refer to the Altura sizing guide, typically found on the retailer's website or the product packaging. Measure the circumference of your palm to find the best fit.
Can I machine wash these mitts?
It is recommended to hand wash the mitts in cool water to preserve the integrity of the materials, particularly the Amara suede palm and padding.
What is the purpose of the perforations on the palm?
The perforations in the Amara suede palm are designed to increase airflow and ventilation, helping to keep your hands cool and dry during your ride.
How do the finger pull tabs work?
The finger pull tabs are small loops or extensions typically located on the middle fingers, allowing you to easily grip and pull the mitts off your hands.
Do these mitts offer significant padding?
Yes, they feature memory foam padding designed to provide cushioning and absorb shock, enhancing comfort on longer rides.
What material is the palm made of?
The palm is made of Amara suede, a synthetic material that offers a good grip and durability.
Troubleshooting
Mitts feel too tight or restrictive.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the mitts are new, they may need a short break-in period. Try wearing them for a few shorter rides.
Palm material feels stiff after washing.
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and not harsh chemicals. Gently work the palm material with your fingers while damp, or use a soft brush after drying. Avoid machine drying.
Chafing around the wrist.
Check that the bonded cuff is sitting smoothly against your skin. Ensure the mitts are not too tight. Cleanliness of the mitts and handlebars can also help prevent irritation.
Sweat accumulation inside the mitts.
While the wicking fabric helps, extreme heat or exertion can still lead to sweat. Ensure the mitts fit well and utilize the towelling sweat wipe for forehead and brow moisture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Altura Airstream Mitts require no specific setup. Simply wear them on your hands for your cycling activities.
Compatibility: These mitts are designed for unisex adult cyclists and are compatible with most standard bicycle handlebars.
Care: To maintain the quality and longevity of your mitts:
- Washing: Hand wash in cool water with a mild detergent. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners.
- Drying: Gently squeeze out excess water. Do not wring. Lay flat or hang to air dry away from direct sunlight or heat.
- Palm Care: The Amara suede palm can be gently brushed with a soft brush if it becomes matted. Avoid harsh scrubbing. Ensure the mitts are completely dry before storing.
