FAQs
What makes the BioXCell cushioning effective?
The BioXCell cushioning uses a two-stage, anatomical gel pad that is specifically shaped to reduce pressure points on the hand and absorb road vibrations, preventing numbness and discomfort.
Are these gloves suitable for all types of cycling?
Yes, they are primarily designed for road cycling and long-distance riding where comfort and vibration dampening are crucial. They can also be used for commuting and touring.
How do I determine the right size for my hands?
Refer to the brand's sizing chart, usually available on their website or product packaging. Measure the circumference of your palm and compare it to the chart. The gloves should fit snugly without being too tight.
Can I wash these gloves in a washing machine?
It is recommended to hand wash the gloves in cool water with a mild detergent to preserve the materials and cushioning. Avoid machine washing and drying.
What is the benefit of the Airmesh palm?
The Airmesh material used on the palm promotes optimal ventilation, allowing air to circulate freely and helping to keep your hands cool and dry during rides.
How does the Easy-Clip system work?
The Easy-Clip system consists of small, integrated clips on each glove that allow you to fasten them together. This prevents them from getting separated or lost when not in use.
Troubleshooting
Gloves feel too tight or restrictive.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The elastic material should offer a snug fit without cutting off circulation. If still uncomfortable, consider trying a different size or model.
Hands feel sweaty despite ventilation.
While designed for ventilation, very high humidity or intense exertion can still lead to sweat. Ensure proper hand washing and drying after use. Check that the palm ventilation is not obstructed.
Gel cushion feels too firm.
The BioXCell cushion is designed for support and vibration dampening. It may take a few rides to break in and conform to your hand. Ensure the glove is properly positioned on your hand.
Easy-Clip system is difficult to use.
Ensure the clips are clean and free of debris. The clips are designed for a secure hold; apply gentle pressure to connect and disconnect.
