FAQs

Are these gloves machine washable?

While hand washing is recommended to preserve the suede and memory foam integrity, they can be machine washed on a gentle, cool cycle inside a mesh laundry bag.

What is the primary material used in these mitts?

The palms are constructed from durable suede for grip, while the backhand utilizes a high-wicking, stretch fabric for breathability.

Can I use these for mountain biking?

These are primarily designed for road cycling comfort. While they can be used for light off-road riding, they lack the knuckle protection found in dedicated mountain bike gloves.

Do these gloves come in other sizes?

Yes, they are available in sizes ranging from XS to 2XL to accommodate different hand shapes.

How do I know which size to pick?

Measure the circumference of your dominant hand at the widest point (excluding the thumb) and compare it against the Altura official size guide.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel tight or restrict blood flow

Ensure the wrist closure is not overtightened; if the fit remains uncomfortable, verify the sizing against the Altura size chart.

Palm grip is becoming slippery

Gently wash the suede palm with mild soap and water to remove accumulated oils and road grime, then let it air dry completely.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent vibration absorption from memory foam
  • Breathable, high-wicking materials for warm weather
  • Easy removal with integrated pull tabs
  • Absorbent wipe panel for sweat management

Cons

  • Suede palm requires careful cleaning to avoid stiffening
  • Fingerless design offers no protection for fingertips
  • Limited to warm or mild weather usage

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Altura Airstream Cycling Mitts last through many seasons, proper maintenance is essential. Always check for a snug, secure fit by tightening the wrist closure so the padding remains stationary on the palm while riding.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Hand wash in cool water using a mild, non-biological detergent.
  • Drying: Air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the suede from hardening.
  • Storage: Ensure they are completely dry before storing to prevent odors or material degradation.
