FAQs
How do I determine the correct size for Chiba BioXCell Air Gloves?
Measure the circumference of your palm at its widest point (excluding the thumb) and consult the brand's sizing chart. For the BioXCell Air Gloves, a snug fit is recommended for optimal cushioning and performance.
Can these gloves be used for activities other than cycling?
While optimized for cycling, their cushioning and grip features may benefit other activities like spinning, light weightlifting, or general fitness training where hand comfort is desired.
How often should I wash my gloves?
It's recommended to wash your gloves after every few uses, especially if you sweat heavily, or if they become visibly dirty. Frequent washing with mild soap and cold water will help maintain hygiene and material quality.
Will the gel cushioning wear out quickly?
The BioXCell gel cushioning is designed for durability. With proper care and hand washing, the cushioning should maintain its effectiveness for a considerable period of regular use.
Are these gloves waterproof?
No, the Chiba BioXCell Air Gloves are not waterproof. They are designed for breathability and ventilation, making them suitable for dry or mildly damp conditions, but not heavy rain.
What is the purpose of the Easy-Clip?
The Easy-Clip is a small fastening mechanism integrated into the gloves that allows you to clip them together. This prevents them from getting separated when stored in a bag or drawer.
Troubleshooting
Gloves feel too tight or restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Refer to the sizing chart and measure your hand circumference. If the issue persists with the correct size, the glove design may not be suitable for your hand shape.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
The gel cushioning is designed for durability, but prolonged heavy use can lead to wear. Hand washing and proper drying can help maintain material integrity. If the cushioning feels significantly diminished, it may be time to consider replacement.
Difficulty keeping gloves paired
Utilize the built-in Easy-Clip feature by fastening the clips together when the gloves are not in use. Store them in a designated pocket or bag to prevent separation.
Hands feel warm or sweaty
While designed for breathability, very high exertion levels or hot conditions might still lead to some warmth. Ensure the gloves are not too tight, as this can impede airflow. For extreme heat, consider alternative ventilation options if available.
