FAQs

What temperature range are these gloves best suited for?

The Fox Defend Thermo Gloves are designed for cold weather riding, generally performing well in temperatures between 30°F and 50°F (0°C to 10°C). Performance may vary based on individual heat retention and riding intensity.

Can I wash these gloves in a washing machine?

It is recommended to hand wash the gloves with mild soap in cool water. Avoid using a washing machine or dryer, as this can damage the materials and insulation.

How do I ensure the best fit?

Measure your hand circumference and compare it to the sizing chart. Adjust the hook-and-loop closure for a snug but comfortable fit around the wrist, ensuring it doesn't restrict circulation.

Are these gloves waterproof?

The gloves offer water resistance due to the polyurethane-lined finger gussets helping to seal out wind and elements. However, they are not fully waterproof and may not be suitable for prolonged heavy rain.

How durable is the Clarino palm?

Clarino is a synthetic leather known for its durability and grip. The single-layer construction prioritizes bar feel, and while durable for trail use, it can show wear over time with extensive use.

Will these gloves work with heated grips?

Yes, the gloves are compatible with heated grips. The insulation will help retain the heat generated by the grips, keeping your hands warmer.

Troubleshooting

Hands feel cold despite wearing gloves.

Ensure the hook-and-loop closure is properly adjusted to create a seal at the wrist, preventing cold air from entering. Check if the ambient temperature is significantly below the recommended operating range for these gloves.

Reduced grip on handlebars.

Inspect the Clarino palm for dirt or debris; clean with a damp cloth. Ensure the gloves are properly sized and fit snugly to avoid excess material bunching up.

Touchscreen is not responsive.

Ensure the fingertips are clean and dry. Press firmly on the screen. Note that touchscreen performance can be affected by moisture or extreme cold. Try cleaning the screen of your device as well.

Gloves feel too warm during strenuous activity.

Consider removing the gloves during very demanding climbs or waiting periods. For rides with variable temperatures, layering with a lighter glove might be an option for intense sections.
