Full details

FAQs
Are these gloves suitable for mountain biking?
Yes, they provide excellent grip and ventilation, though they offer minimal top-of-hand impact protection compared to dedicated heavy-duty MTB gloves.
Can I use these in the rain?
While durable, the cotton lining and air-permeable materials are designed for breathability and will soak up water in heavy rain.
How do I determine my size?
Measure the circumference of your hand at the widest point, excluding the thumb, and compare it to the Chiba sizing chart.
Do these gloves contain animal products?
The gloves are made from recycled or natural materials; they are designed with a focus on sustainable manufacturing.
Can I wash these with my regular laundry?
Yes, but use a laundry bag to protect the material and ensure you do not exceed 30 degrees Celsius.
Troubleshooting
Gloves feel difficult to remove
Ensure you are utilizing the integrated Quick-Pull tabs located on the fingers rather than pulling from the cuff.
Wrist fit feels too loose
Because there is no Velcro, verify you have selected the correct size; if the glove remains loose, the material may have stretched after heavy use, requiring a machine wash to help regain its shape.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Environmentally friendly materials
- Excellent ventilation for hot weather riding
- Natural latex padding offers great vibration damping
- Easy to remove with the integrated pull-off system
- Lightweight and breathable
Cons
- No Velcro straps for adjustable wrist tension
- Sizing must be precise due to fixed slip-on design
- May require more frequent washing due to cotton lining
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your gloves, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Fitting: Simply slide your hand into the glove; ensure the palm lining sits flat against your skin without bunching.
- Removal: Use the integrated Quick-Pull tabs on the fingers to gently slide the mitts off.
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at a maximum temperature of 30 degrees Celsius.
- Drying: Air dry only. Do not tumble dry, as high heat can degrade the natural latex padding and recycled materials.
