FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for cold weather?

No, the Bluegrass Vapor Lite Gloves are specifically designed for hot weather due to their emphasis on maximum breathability and lightness. They offer minimal insulation.

How do I determine the right size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided by Bluegrass. Measure the circumference of your palm and the length of your hand to find the best fit.

Can I use my smartphone with these gloves on?

The Vapor Lite gloves are made with technical textiles and do not feature specific touchscreen compatibility. You may need to remove a glove to operate a smartphone accurately.

What is the main benefit of the padded thumb?

The padded thumb is designed to be a soft surface for wiping sweat from your face and brow, or for cleaning dirt and smudges off your eyewear without scratching.

How durable is the extra layer on the thumb's hollow?

The extra layer is engineered to maximize durability in this high-friction area, helping to prevent wear and tear and reduce the likelihood of blisters forming during long rides.

What kind of riding are these gloves best for?

These gloves are ideal for performance-oriented mountain biking in warm to hot conditions, including trail riding, cross-country, and enduro, where breathability and a lightweight feel are paramount.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel too tight

Ensure you have selected the correct size. If they are new, they may loosen slightly with use. If still uncomfortable, consider a different size.

Reduced breathability over time

Ensure gloves are clean. Dirt and sweat can clog the technical textiles. Follow the care instructions for washing.

Seam or material defect

Inspect gloves for any manufacturing defects. Contact the retailer or Bluegrass customer support if a defect is found within the warranty period.
