Product Information

Full details

The Fox Defend Thermo Gloves are designed for adult male riders seeking to maintain warmth and control during cold weather mountain biking. Their key benefit is providing insulated protection without sacrificing bar feel or grip. A potential caveat is that the insulation may not be sufficient for extreme cold conditions. These gloves combine essential cold weather protection, a secure fit, and reliable grip for winter trail riding, featuring a compression-molded cuff, touchscreen-compatible palm, and wind-sealing finger gussets.

FAQs

Are these gloves waterproof?

The Defend Thermo Gloves are designed to be windproof and water-resistant, helping to seal out wind and light moisture. They are not fully waterproof and may soak through in heavy rain.

Can I use my phone with these gloves on?

Yes, the Clarino palm is conductive, allowing for touchscreen compatibility with most smartphones and other touch-enabled devices.

How do I know what size to order?

Refer to the sizing chart provided by Fox or the retailer. Generally, measure the circumference of your palm and the length of your middle finger to find the best fit.

What is the main difference between these and summer gloves?

The Defend Thermo Gloves feature insulation and wind-blocking materials for cold weather, whereas summer gloves are typically lighter, more breathable, and offer less thermal protection.

How durable is the Clarino palm?

Clarino is a synthetic leather known for its durability and excellent grip, providing a good balance of performance and longevity for mountain biking use.

What temperature range are these gloves best for?

These gloves are ideal for cool to cold weather, generally recommended for temperatures ranging from just above freezing up to around 50°F (10°C), depending on rider sensitivity and conditions.

Troubleshooting

Hands still feel cold in very low temperatures

Consider layering with a thinner liner glove underneath for added insulation. These gloves are best suited for cool to cold conditions rather than extreme cold.

Grip feels slippery

Ensure the Clarino palm is clean and dry. Wash the gloves according to care instructions if dirt or oil has accumulated. Check that the hook-and-loop closure is not overly tightened, which can sometimes affect the glove's articulation.

Hook-and-loop closure is not secure

Clean the hook-and-loop surfaces gently with a small brush to remove any lint or debris that might be preventing a secure closure. If the closure is significantly worn, it may be time to consider replacement.

  • Secure and adjustable fit system.

Cons

  • May not be warm enough for extreme sub-zero temperatures.

  • Reliance on hook-and-loop closure could potentially wear out over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Fox Defend Thermo Gloves are ready to use straight out of the package. Ensure the hook-and-loop closure is adjusted for a comfortable, secure fit before your ride. Check that they do not impede your ability to operate controls.
