Product Information
Full details
The Oxford North Shore 2.0 Gloves are designed for adult mountain bikers seeking a balance of protection and control on challenging trails. Their key benefit lies in integrated knuckle and finger armor combined with a comfortable, grippy palm for enhanced rider confidence. A potential consideration is that the snug fit may require a short break-in period.

FAQs
Are these gloves suitable for very cold weather?
The North Shore 2.0 gloves are designed for general trail riding and offer some warmth, but they are not insulated for extreme cold. For very cold conditions, consider a dedicated winter glove.
How do I determine the correct size?
Measure the circumference of your palm and the length of your hand from the wrist to the tip of your middle finger. Refer to the Oxford sizing chart for the best fit.
Can I use my smartphone with these gloves on?
The glove material is not specifically designed for touchscreen use, so functionality may be limited or unreliable.
How durable is the Amara palm?
Amara is a synthetic material known for its durability and resistance to abrasion, making it suitable for demanding trail use.
Will the knuckle protection interfere with hand movement?
The knuckle and finger armour is integrated into the fabric to allow for flexibility. While providing protection, it is designed to minimize interference with natural hand movement during riding.
What is the main difference between the 1.0 and 2.0 models?
The 2.0 model features upgraded integrated knuckle and finger armour and improved material balance for better control versus protection compared to previous versions.
Troubleshooting
Gloves feel too tight initially
Wear the gloves for a few short rides to allow the materials to break in and conform to your hand shape.
Reduced grip after getting wet
Ensure the Amara palm and silicone grippers are clean and dry. Grit or mud can affect grip; rinse the gloves and allow them to dry fully.
Hook & loop closure not sticking
Clean the hook and loop surfaces of any debris or lint. Ensure the surfaces are dry when fastening.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These gloves require no setup. Simply put them on and adjust the hook & loop wrist closure for a snug, comfortable fit.
Compatibility:
The Oxford North Shore 2.0 Gloves are compatible with all standard bicycle handlebars and brake/shifter systems. They are designed for adult riders.
