Full details

FAQs
Are these gloves waterproof?
No, the Oxford Switchback 2.0 gloves are designed for breathability and are not waterproof.
Can I use these for winter riding?
These gloves are optimized for warm weather and do not provide the thermal insulation required for cold weather.
How do I ensure the right size?
The gloves feature an adjustable hook and loop wrist closure to accommodate various hand shapes, but ensure the palm material lies flat against your skin.
Are they touchscreen compatible?
While the gloves feature silicone fingertip grippers for lever control, they are not explicitly marketed as having capacitive touchscreen-compatible fingertips.
What is Amara fabric?
Amara is a durable synthetic material used in the palm of these gloves to provide a leather-like feel, excellent grip, and enhanced sensitivity.
Troubleshooting
Gloves feel loose during operation
Adjust the hook and loop wrist strap to ensure a tighter, more secure fit.
Visible dirt on the palm material
Gently clean the Amara palm with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary; air dry immediately.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Oxford Switchback 2.0 gloves, it is important to verify that the fit is snug but not constrictive; the hook and loop closure should be tightened enough to prevent slipping without cutting off circulation. Before riding, check that the fingertips sit correctly against the lever touchpoints.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe the gloves down with a damp cloth to remove road grime and sweat.
- Drying: Air dry in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Do not place directly on radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can degrade the Amara material.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to maintain the structural integrity of the stretch fabrics.
