FAQs
Are these gloves waterproof?
No, the Fox Defend Gloves are designed for breathability and are not waterproof.
Can I use these gloves for winter riding?
These are lightweight gloves and will not provide sufficient warmth for winter or cold-weather conditions.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
Measure your hand circumference and compare it to the brand's size chart. The gloves should fit snugly without restricting blood flow or movement.
Will the touch-screen fingers wear out?
Like all tech-enabled gear, the touch-screen functionality may wear down over time with heavy usage and abrasion.
Can I wash these in a dryer?
It is not recommended to use a dryer, as high heat can damage the elastic fibers and the TPR components.
Troubleshooting
Touch-screen sensitivity is inconsistent
Ensure the conductive material on the fingertips is clean and dry; oil or dirt buildup can interfere with the connection.
Glove feels tight around the knuckles
Adjust the hook and loop closure to ensure it is not pulled too tightly, and allow the 4-way stretch material a few rides to break in to the natural shape of your hand.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent tactile feedback for precise lever control
- Highly breathable design prevents overheating
- Secure, ergonomic fit that stays in place
- Lightweight feel enhances comfort on long rides
Cons
- Minimalist design offers little impact protection
- Not suitable for cold or wet weather conditions
- Single-layer palm wears faster than padded alternatives
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, adjust the hook and loop closure at the cuff until the glove feels secure but does not constrict circulation. Because the material is primarily polyester with stretch elements, avoid pulling on the cuff with excessive force when putting them on; instead, pull from the base of the palm. To maintain the integrity of the Clarino palm and the touch-screen conductivity, machine wash in cold water on a gentle cycle. Always air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent the material from shrinking or damaging the sensitive TPU components.
