The Fox Defend D30 Gloves are professional-grade, trail-ready mountain biking gloves engineered for riders who prioritize impact protection without sacrificing tactile control. They are ideal for aggressive downhill or enduro riding, offering advanced D3O knuckle armor and a breathable, high-grip palm. While these gloves excel in protection and dexterity, users should be mindful of the specialized care requirements to maintain the integrity of the impact-absorbing materials.

Yes, they are machine washable on a cold, gentle cycle, provided you close the velcro tabs first to avoid snagging.
No, D3O material is designed to be flexible and soft during normal movement and only hardens when a high-velocity impact occurs.
These are primarily designed for mountain biking performance and breathability; while they provide some wind resistance, they are not insulated for cold winter temperatures.
Refer to the brand's sizing chart, measuring the circumference of your hand at the widest point to ensure the best fit for your specific glove size.
Only the specific conductive areas on the fingertips are designed for touch screen use.
Ensure the conductive fingertips are clean and free of mud or trail debris, as buildup can prevent electrical connectivity.
Ensure you are using a gentle, cold wash cycle and avoid heat drying, as high heat can alter the material properties.
Check the hook-and-loop surface for lint or debris; clean with a small brush to restore the adhesive grip.
To achieve the best fit, ensure the compression-molded cuff is tightened securely so that the D3O padding aligns properly over your knuckles. When it comes to care, the gloves require a specific routine to prevent damage: always close the velcro fasteners before laundering to prevent snagging on the nylon fabric. Use a gentle cycle with cold water and avoid harsh detergents or fabric softeners that can degrade the moisture-wicking properties of the material. Air drying is highly recommended to preserve the shape of the knuckle protection and the integrity of the palm fabric.
