FAQs
What type of riding are these gloves best suited for?
These gloves are specifically developed for Trail and Enduro mountain biking, prioritizing grip, durability, and ventilation for demanding terrain.
Can I use these gloves with my smartphone?
The suede palm material does not offer specific touchscreen compatibility. While you might be able to operate a screen with them, it is not a primary feature and may be unreliable.
How do I clean the suede palm?
Hand wash with cool water and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Let them air dry completely away from heat sources to preserve the suede's texture and grip.
Are these gloves suitable for cold weather?
The gloves are designed for ventilation and moisture management, making them ideal for moderate to warm conditions. They offer minimal insulation and are not recommended for freezing temperatures.
What material is used for the back of the hand?
The back of the hand is constructed with durable Cordura fabric, providing excellent abrasion resistance and protection.
How do they provide enhanced grip?
The combination of the natural suede palm material and the ergonomic fit ensures a secure and precise grip on the handlebars in various riding conditions.
Troubleshooting
Gloves feel too tight or restrictive.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Check the size guide and consider if a larger size would offer more comfort for your riding style.
Reduced grip after getting wet.
Allow the suede palm to dry completely. Grip should return to its optimal level once dry. Avoid using the gloves when saturated if possible.
Seams feel uncomfortable during ride.
This may occur with a new pair. Break-in the gloves over a few rides. If discomfort persists, consider if the size is appropriate or if the internal seam placement is an issue for your hand shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These gloves require no specific setup; simply wear them. They are designed for compatibility with mountain bike handlebars and brake/shifter levers.

Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the materials and affect the fit.
