Product Information

Full details

The 661 Raijin cycling gloves are designed for adult mountain bikers who require thermal protection and reliable grip during cold, wet-weather riding. These gloves feature windproof softshell construction and a water-resistant palm, making them an ideal choice for shoulder-season commutes or winter trail sessions, though they are specifically engineered for moderate insulation rather than extreme sub-zero alpine conditions.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these gloves waterproof?

They feature a water-resistant palm and windproof construction, which helps manage rain and splashes, but they are not fully waterproof or submersible.

Can I use these for road cycling?

Yes, they are suitable for both MTB and road cycling, provided the temperature range is appropriate for the glove's insulating properties.

How do I determine my size?

Measure the circumference of your dominant hand just below the knuckles; refer to the 661 brand sizing chart for the most accurate fit.

Is the leather real or synthetic?

The gloves use high-performance synthetic materials designed for durability and weather resistance in cycling applications.

Can I wash them in a machine?

Hand washing is recommended to preserve the structural integrity of the neoprene cuffs and the touchscreen conductive threads.

Troubleshooting

Touchscreen not responding

Ensure the conductive patch on the fingertip is clean of mud or debris, and verify that the glove is pulled tight against the skin to ensure proper electrical contact.

Reduced water resistance

The water-resistant coating may wear off over time; consider applying a technical fabric DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray specifically designed for synthetic leather and softshell materials.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent windproofing for chilly morning rides
  • Water-resistant palms maintain traction in wet conditions
  • Touchscreen functionality avoids the need for glove removal
  • Secure cuff design seals out cold air
  • Reflective detailing enhances safety in low-light environments

Cons

  • Not suitable for extreme winter sub-zero temperatures
  • Limited to one colorway option
  • Bulkier than summer-weight racing gloves

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure a long lifespan for your 661 Raijin gloves, follow these maintenance guidelines:

  1. Fitting: Adjust the hook and loop closure once the glove is pulled over the wrist to ensure a snug fit that doesn't restrict blood circulation.
  2. Cleaning: Hand wash in cool water using a mild technical garment detergent. Avoid using aggressive soaps or fabric softeners, as these can strip the water-resistant treatment from the palm.
  3. Drying: Air dry away from direct heat sources such as radiators or open flames, which can damage the synthetic leather materials and neoprene.
  4. Storage: Ensure gloves are completely dry before storing in a gear bag to prevent mold or odors from developing on the fleece interior.
