FAQs
What makes these gloves particularly breathable?
The palms are predominantly made of Airmesh, a highly permeable material that allows for significant airflow, combined with an elastic Micronet mesh and Lycra backhand.
How do the gloves protect against hand numbness?
They feature a special 2-layer BioXCell damping system in the palm, designed to absorb shocks and vibrations that can lead to hand numbness during activities like cycling.
Can I use these gloves for activities other than cycling?
While optimized for cycling, their breathability and damping features may benefit other activities requiring a comfortable, protective grip.
How should I clean the CHIBA BIOXCELL AIR gloves?
Machine wash at 30 °C. Avoid harsh chemicals and do not tumble dry. Air dry only.
What is the purpose of the strings between the fingers?
These strings are designed to help you easily and quickly remove the gloves after use.
Are these gloves available in different colors?
Yes, the BIOXCELL AIR model is available in a range of colors, including Blue, Red, Black, and White, among others.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Refer to the sizing chart and ensure the Velcro wrist strap is adjusted to provide a snug but not constricting fit.
Troubleshooting
Gloves feel too tight or too loose
Adjust the Velcro wrist strap for a secure, comfortable fit. Ensure you have selected the correct size based on hand measurements.
Reduced breathability
Check for dirt or debris clogging the Airmesh material. Gently clean the gloves according to the care instructions.
Damping effect feels insufficient
Ensure the gloves are worn correctly and the wrist straps are properly adjusted. The BioXCell damping is designed to reduce, not entirely eliminate, vibration.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These gloves are ready to wear straight out of the package. Ensure the Velcro wrist strap is adjusted for a snug but comfortable fit before each use. Utilize the Easy-Clip buckle to keep the pair together when storing them.
Compatibility: The unisex design aims for broad compatibility across various hand sizes. The glove's primary function is for cycling and similar activities requiring hand protection and grip.
Care: To maintain the integrity and performance of the BIOXCELL AIR gloves, machine wash them at a maximum temperature of 30 °C (86 °F). Avoid using harsh detergents or bleach. It is recommended to air dry the gloves rather than using a tumble dryer to preserve the elasticity and damping materials.
