Product Information

Full details

The Chiba Bio-X-Cell Air Mitt in Black is designed for adult athletes seeking enhanced comfort and protection during activities like cycling and gym workouts. Its key benefit lies in the innovative Bio-X-Cell gel padding, which significantly reduces pressure on nerves to prevent numbness. A potential caveat for some users might be the specific fit due to the elastic upper hand material, which is designed for a snug feel.

FAQs

How do I know if I have the right size Chiba Bio-X-Cell Air Mitt?

The mitts should fit snugly but comfortably. Measure the circumference of your palm and consult the brand's sizing chart. The upper hand material is elastic, so a snug fit is intended for optimal performance.

Can these mitts be machine washed?

It is recommended to hand wash the Chiba Bio-X-Cell Air Mitts with a mild detergent in cold water. Machine washing may damage the specialized padding and materials.

What is the main benefit of the Bio-X-Cell padding?

The Bio-X-Cell padding is a 2-stage anatomical gel cushion specifically designed to prevent numb fingers and hands by reducing pressure on the ulnar nerve and carpal tunnel.

Are these mitts suitable for extreme cold weather?

These mitts are designed for ventilation and comfort during athletic activities, not for insulation in extreme cold. They are best suited for moderate temperatures.

How does the 'Easy-Clip' feature work?

The 'Easy-Clip' feature consists of small clips integrated into the mitts that allow you to fasten them together when not in use, making them easier to store and preventing you from losing one.

What materials are the palm and upper hand made of?

The palm is made of air mesh for optimal ventilation, with trimmings made of robust microfibre. The upper hand is constructed from elastic, breathable materials for a perfect fit and good ventilation.

Troubleshooting

Mittens feel too tight

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The elastic materials are designed for a snug fit, but if it's excessively tight, consider a size up. Break-in period may also help slightly.

Reduced grip effectiveness

Check if the palm area is clean and free from dirt or oils. Clean the mitts according to care instructions. Ensure the microfibre trimmings are not worn out.

Padding feels uncomfortable

Verify the mitts are worn correctly with the gel padding aligned with the ulnar nerve and carpal tunnel area. Allow a short break-in period for the padding to conform to your hand.
