Product Information
Full details
The Rapha Trail Finale Gloves are designed for adult trail and enduro mountain bikers seeking a lightweight, durable, and comfortable hand protection solution. Their key benefit is a natural, versatile grip and excellent breathability, helping you maintain control on technical terrain. A minor caveat is their intended temperature range, performing best in cooler to warm conditions rather than extreme heat or cold. These gloves offer a barely-there feel with robust features for an enhanced riding experience.

FAQs
What is the ideal temperature range for these gloves?
The gloves are designed for use in cool conditions (6-12°C / 43-54°F) to warm conditions (21-26°C / 70-79°F).
Are these gloves waterproof?
No, these gloves are not designed to be waterproof. They are primarily focused on breathability and grip in dry to slightly damp conditions.
Can I use these gloves with my phone?
Yes, the fingertips are designed to be touchscreen compatible, allowing you to use smartphones and GPS devices without removing the gloves.
How durable are the gloves?
They feature Cordura fabric on the back of the hand for high abrasion resistance, making them durable for technical trail riding.
What material is the palm made of?
The palm and finger tips are made of Ax suede material, which is lightweight and provides a natural grip in all conditions.

Troubleshooting
Reduced grip over time
Gently clean the palm and finger tips with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry. This can help restore the grip of the Ax suede material.
Fingers feel too warm on very hot days
While designed for breathability, extreme heat (above 26°C / 79°F) may lead to some warmth. Consider alternative lighter options or ensure maximum ventilation by opening any adjustable cuffs if applicable.
Seams feel uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size. If discomfort persists, try wearing the gloves for short periods to break them in. Contact customer support if seams appear defective.
