Product Information
Full details
The Troy Lee Designs Air Gloves are designed for mountain bikers and cyclists who prioritize breathability and tactile feedback during warm-weather rides. These gloves offer excellent ventilation and a precise fit, making them a reliable choice for technical trail control. Please note that while they excel in airflow, they provide minimal thermal insulation and are best suited for spring, summer, and early autumn conditions rather than cold-weather riding.

FAQs
Are these gloves touchscreen compatible?
While not explicitly marketed for touchscreen use, the synthetic material often works on many devices, but effectiveness may vary by screen protector thickness.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is recommended to hand wash to preserve the integrity of the TPR graphics and the silicone grip patterns.
Are these suitable for winter riding?
No, these gloves are designed for maximum ventilation and will not provide sufficient warmth in temperatures below 15 degrees Celsius.
Do they provide knuckle protection?
They feature sonic-welded TPR graphics which provide light coverage, but they are not intended to serve as heavy-duty armor for severe crashes.
What is the primary material used?
The gloves are constructed from a combination of synthetic leather on the palm and a 2-way stretch spandex body for flexibility.
Troubleshooting
Gloves feel tight or restrictive
Ensure the 2-way stretch material is fully smoothed out across the back of the hand; if persistent, verify you are wearing the correct size variant.
Silicone grip losing traction
Gently clean the fingertips with a damp cloth to remove dried mud, oil, or sweat buildup that may be masking the silicone's grip properties.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Exceptional ventilation for warm weather
- Highly tactile grip for precise lever control
- Lightweight, low-profile construction
- Secure compression-molded wrist closure
Cons
- Not suitable for cold or wet winter riding
- Minimal impact protection compared to heavy-duty downhill gloves
- Limited color options in specific size variants
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure longevity and maintain the performance of your gloves, follow these care instructions:
- Fitting: Ensure the compression-molded cuff is pulled firmly over the wrist to establish a secure, non-slip base.
- Cleaning: Hand wash with mild soap and cold water to protect the synthetic leather and silicone printing.
- Drying: Air dry in a shaded area. Avoid direct sunlight or high-heat tumble drying, as excessive heat can cause the spandex to lose its elasticity and damage the silicone grips.
- Compatibility: These gloves are compatible with most modern mountain bike grip textures, though they are specifically designed to perform best with standard rubber or composite mountain bike grips.
