Product Information
Full details
The Altura Kielder Trail Gloves are designed for mountain biking enthusiasts who prioritize bar feel and airflow during intense trail sessions. These unisex, long-fingered gloves offer a minimalist approach, providing essential grip and security without the bulk of heavy padding. While they excel in breathability and tactile feedback, riders seeking significant vibration dampening or insulation for cold weather may find the minimalist construction less suitable for their needs.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these gloves touchscreen compatible?
The product description focuses on grip and breathability, and they do not feature dedicated touchscreen-sensitive fingertips.
Can I use these for road cycling?
Yes, they can be used for road cycling if you prefer a minimalist, non-padded glove, though they are specifically optimized for trail biking.
How do I determine my size?
Measure the circumference of your dominant hand just below the knuckles and compare it to the Altura size guide.
Are these gloves waterproof?
No, these gloves are designed for breathability and airflow, not for water resistance.
Do they provide knuckle protection?
The Kielder Trail Gloves offer a standard fabric backhand and are not designed with hard-shell armor for impact protection.
Troubleshooting
Gloves feel stiff after washing
Gently massage the suede fabric while it is drying to restore flexibility and softness.
Loss of grip on brake levers
Wipe the silicone prints with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated dirt or trail grit that may be reducing friction.
Wrist closure feels too tight
Ensure the neoprene cuff is not tucked under your watch or sleeve; adjust the positioning to allow for natural wrist extension.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These gloves are designed as a unisex fit; ensure you measure your hand circumference correctly against the manufacturer's size chart to achieve the intended performance. Because they utilize suede material, it is recommended to hand wash them in cool water with mild detergent to preserve the integrity of the material and the grip prints. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can leave a residue that degrades grip performance. Always air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, to prevent the suede from becoming stiff or brittle.
