FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for cold weather cycling?

The Altura Airstream Fingerless Cycling Gloves are designed for moderate to warm weather. Their fingerless design and breathable material mean they offer limited insulation and are not recommended for cold conditions.

How do I determine the right size?

Refer to the product's sizing chart, which typically measures hand circumference. Ensure a snug fit without restricting circulation.

Can I use these gloves for mountain biking?

Yes, the durable palm and grip features make them suitable for mountain biking on less technical trails. However, for aggressive or technical riding, full-finger gloves may offer better protection.

How often should I wash the gloves?

Wash the gloves as needed, typically after several rides or when they show signs of dirt or odor. Frequent washing with mild soap and cold water is recommended.

What is Amara suede?

Amara suede is a durable, synthetic microfiber material that mimics the look and feel of natural suede. It is known for its excellent grip and longevity in cycling gloves.

Will the fingerless design affect my control on the bike?

No, the fingerless design is intended to enhance dexterity and feel, allowing for better manipulation of shifters, brake levers, and other handlebar controls. The grip is primarily provided by the palm.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel too tight or too loose

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Refer to the sizing guide if available. A slightly tight fit may loosen with use, while a loose fit will not improve.

Reduced grip on the palm

Clean the Amara suede palm with a slightly damp cloth to remove any dirt or oils that may be affecting grip. Ensure hands are dry before wearing.

Padding feels insufficient on long rides

While designed for comfort, extreme long-distance riders may require gloves with thicker gel or foam padding. Consider a more specialized glove for such needs.

Wipe panel is not absorbent

Ensure the panel is clean and free from dirt or residues. Natural fibers in the panel may require a few uses to reach maximum absorbency.
