Product Information

Full details

The GORE WEAR C3 Short Finger Cycling Gloves are engineered for road cyclists seeking enhanced comfort and tactile control during warm weather rides. Featuring a foam-padded palm for shock absorption and moisture-wicking materials, they excel at reducing hand fatigue on long journeys while maintaining a lightweight feel; however, as they are specifically designed for warm weather, they do not offer insulation for cold or wet riding conditions.

FAQs

Are these gloves machine washable?

Yes, they are machine washable on a delicate cycle. We recommend using a wash bag to protect the fabric.

Can I use these for mountain biking?

While they can be used for light trail riding, they are primarily engineered for road cycling and lack the knuckle protection and full coverage preferred for technical mountain biking.

Do these gloves have touchscreen compatibility?

The gloves are designed for tactile control of shifters and brakes; they do not feature specific conductive fingertips for touchscreen devices.

What material are the gloves made from?

They are constructed from high-quality, durable polyester known for excellent moisture-wicking and breathability.

Are these suitable for winter riding?

No, these are specialized warm-weather gloves. They lack the thermal insulation and windproof properties required for winter conditions.

What is the purpose of the loops between the fingers?

The loops are designed to act as pull-off points, allowing you to grip and slide the gloves off easily after your ride.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel tight around the knuckles

Ensure you are using the correct size; if they remain tight after break-in, try a larger size to prevent restricted movement.

Palm padding feels like it is sliding

Check that the gloves are pulled up fully and secured at the wrist; a loose fit can cause the padding to shift while riding.

Stitching pulling or snagging

Check for debris on handlebar tape or shifter edges that may be catching on the fabric; use a laundry bag when washing to prevent further damage.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent ventilation for hot weather performance
  • High-precision tactile feedback on shifters and brakes
  • Effective vibration damping from foam padding
  • Simple, easy-to-remove design features
  • Durable construction using high-quality polyester

Cons

  • Not suitable for cold or rainy weather
  • Short finger design offers less sun and abrasion protection than full-finger alternatives
  • Minimalist palm padding may not suit riders who prefer extreme cushion

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your GORE WEAR C3 gloves, follow these maintenance guidelines:

  1. Fitting: Choose a size that feels snug but does not restrict blood flow; the finger loops should sit comfortably between the middle fingers.
  2. Washing: Use a mild detergent and machine wash on a delicate cycle in a mesh garment bag to prevent snagging.
  3. Drying: Air dry only; do not place in a tumble dryer as heat can degrade the foam padding and synthetic fibers.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the moisture-wicking material.
