Full details

These gloves offer world-leading D30 knuckle inserts and durable nylon construction to withstand rough trail conditions, though riders should note that the integrated armor makes them slightly warmer than lightweight XC alternatives.

FAQs

Are these gloves waterproof?

No, they are made from nylon and Clarino, which are designed for durability and breathability, not as a waterproof barrier.

Will the D30 inserts hinder my movement?

No, D30 material is soft and flexible during normal use and only hardens upon impact, ensuring full range of motion.

How do I determine my size?

Measure around your hand at the widest point (excluding the thumb) and match the measurement to the official Fox sizing guide.

Can I machine wash these?

It is highly recommended to hand wash these to preserve the integrity of the protective inserts and the conductive palm material.

Is the D30 padding removable?

No, the D30 inserts are integrated into the glove design for maximum safety and are not intended to be removed.

Troubleshooting

Touchscreen sensitivity is poor

Ensure the glove is pulled tight against the fingertip and clean the Clarino material with a damp cloth to remove oils or dirt.

Wrist closure feels loose

Adjust the hook and loop strap while the hand is clenched to find the optimal tension level.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior impact protection via D30 tech
  • Excellent grip and tactile lever control
  • Touchscreen compatibility for convenience
  • Highly durable nylon construction

Cons

  • Heavier feel due to integrated armor
  • Less breathable than minimal XC gloves
  • May feel stiff during the initial break-in period

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure a proper fit, measure your hand circumference and consult the Fox sizing chart to select the correct size (S-2XL available). When putting the gloves on, ensure the D30 inserts are centered over your knuckles for optimal protection.

Care Instructions:

  • Hand wash in cold water using a mild, non-detergent soap.
  • Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners as they can damage the conductive material in the palms.
  • Allow to air dry completely away from direct heat sources to prevent cracking of the Clarino palms and internal TPR components.
