FAQs
Are these gloves suitable for cold weather riding?
The Oxford Switchback 2.0 Gloves are designed for warm weather due to their breathable construction. They offer minimal insulation and are not recommended for cold conditions.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the brand's sizing chart, typically available where the product is sold. Measure the circumference of your hand at the widest point (excluding the thumb) and compare it to the chart.
Can the gloves be used for touchscreen devices?
These gloves are not specifically designed for touchscreen compatibility. The fingertips may offer limited functionality on some devices, but it is not guaranteed.
What is the main benefit of the single-layer palm?
The single-layer palm provides maximum grip feel and direct tactile feedback, allowing for superior control over your vehicle's handlebars and controls.
How often should I clean the gloves?
Clean the gloves as needed, especially if they become dirty or lose grip. Regular gentle cleaning will help maintain their performance.
What is the material of the palm?
The palm is made from Amara, a synthetic material that mimics suede leather, offering durability and excellent grip.
Troubleshooting
Reduced grip on the palm
Clean the Amara palm gently with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry. Avoid oily substances.
Stiffness in the material
Flex the gloves by hand. Ensure they are completely dry after washing. Avoid prolonged exposure to heat.
