Product Information
Full details
The Fox Defend Thermo MTB Gloves are designed for adult mountain bikers who need reliable hand protection and warmth during cold-weather rides without sacrificing control. By utilizing insulated closed-cell foam and a conductive Clarino palm, these gloves offer a balance of thermal regulation and tactile bar feel; however, they may feel slightly bulkier than traditional lightweight summer gloves due to the added insulation layers.

FAQs
Are these gloves waterproof?
They are designed to be weather-resistant and feature PU-lined gussets to seal out elements, but they are not fully waterproof.
Can I use these for road cycling?
Yes, their design is versatile enough for road cycling in cold weather, though they are optimized for the grip patterns of mountain bike bars.
How should I clean the Clarino palm?
Hand wash with mild soap and cold water. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine drying.
Do these gloves come in different sizes?
Yes, these are available in standard adult sizes. Refer to your specific retailer's size chart to match your hand circumference.
Is the insulation bulky?
The insulation uses closed-cell foam which is designed to be low-profile while providing maximum heat retention.
Troubleshooting
Touch-screen not responding
Ensure the glove is pulled tight against the skin on the fingertip and wipe the pad clean of any mud or dirt buildup.
Gloves feel too tight or loose
Adjust the hook and loop closure at the wrist; if the sizing remains incorrect, ensure you are wearing the appropriate size for your hand measurements.
Loss of grip on levers
Check if the silicone print is covered in mud. Wipe the fingertips with a damp cloth to restore grip performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, adjust the hook and loop closure at the wrist so the compression cuff seals snugly against your jersey sleeve, which prevents heat loss. These gloves are compatible with most standard mountain bike grips. For care, it is recommended to hand wash the gloves using mild detergent and cool water to maintain the integrity of the Clarino palm and the conductive coating. Always air dry the gloves away from direct heat sources, such as radiators or heaters, as excessive heat can damage the nylon and neoprene materials.
