Product Information

Full details

The Fox Ranger Water Lunar Gloves are designed for male adult mountain bikers who need reliable hand protection in wet conditions. Their key benefit is keeping hands dry, warm, and connected on the trail, even in rain, mud, and debris. A potential caveat is that the slip-on design, while comfortable, may not offer the adjustable fit some riders prefer.

FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for very cold weather?

The Fox Ranger Water Lunar Gloves are designed for wet conditions and offer moderate warmth due to the fleece lining. For extreme cold, consider gloves with more substantial insulation.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided by Fox Head Clothing. Generally, measure the circumference of your hand at the widest point, excluding the thumb. The slip-on design should offer a snug, comfortable fit without being restrictive.

Can I wash these gloves in a washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash or machine dry these gloves. Hand washing with cold water and mild soap, followed by air drying, is the preferred method to preserve the waterproof membranes and materials.

What does 'DWR finish' mean?

DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. It's a coating applied to the outer fabric that causes water to bead up and roll off the surface, helping to keep the glove dry and preventing the fabric from becoming saturated.

How long does the waterproofing last?

The longevity of the waterproofing depends on usage and care. The DWR finish can be reactivated or reapplied periodically. The underlying waterproof membrane is durable but can be compromised by significant damage or excessive wear.

Will the touchscreen feature work with polarized screen protectors?

Touchscreen functionality relies on conductive material making contact with the screen. Polarized screen protectors can sometimes interfere with this. Test with your specific device and screen protector to confirm compatibility.

Troubleshooting

Touchscreen not responding

Ensure the conductive thread on the thumb and index finger is clean and dry. Sometimes, excess moisture or dirt can interfere with the connection. Gently wipe the area with a dry cloth.

Gloves feel slightly stiff after washing

This can happen with waterproof materials. Ensure they are completely air-dried. Avoid machine drying. Gentle use during your next ride should help restore some flexibility.

Water seeping through the palm

Inspect the AX Suede™ palm for any tears or damage. If the waterproof coating is compromised, the palm may need replacement or the gloves may need to be retired for very wet conditions.

Difficulty pulling gloves on or off

Ensure your hands are completely dry when putting them on. If they are damp, try using a dry cloth to dry your hands first. When removing, try twisting the glove slightly as you pull to help break the seal.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproofing for wet weather riding
  • Warm fleece-lined palm for comfort in cold and damp conditions
  • Maintains touchscreen functionality for device use
  • Durable and resistant to trail debris
  • Comfortable slip-on design for easy wear

Cons

  • Slip-on design may lack the precise adjustability of a velcro closure
  • Polyester material might feel less supple than other glove options for some users
  • Limited insulation for extreme cold (best for mild to cool wet conditions)

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Fox Ranger Water Lunar Gloves feature a simple slip-on design. To put them on, simply slide your hand into the glove, ensuring your fingers are fully extended into the finger stalls. The elasticized wrist cuff provides a snug fit without the need for adjustment straps.

Compatibility: These gloves are designed to be compatible with most touchscreen devices, including smartphones and GPS units, due to the conductive thread on the thumb and index finger. They are suitable for use with standard mountain bike handlebars and grips.

Care Instructions: To maintain the performance and longevity of your gloves:

  1. Cleaning: Hand wash with cold water and mild soap. Avoid using harsh detergents or bleach.
  2. Drying: Lay flat or hang to air dry. Do not machine dry, as high heat can damage the waterproof materials and fleece lining.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  4. Waterproofing Maintenance: Periodically, you may wish to reapply a DWR treatment to the exterior fabric to enhance water repellency, following the product's specific instructions.
