Altura Endurance Cycling Mitts - Charcoal - XS

While they offer good grip and protection, the primary design focus is on road cycling and endurance. For aggressive mountain biking with frequent impacts, you might consider mitts with more substantial padding or knuckle protection.

The palm is engineered with specific padding and a cut-out design to relieve pressure on the ulnar and median nerves in the wrist and hand, which are commonly compressed during long cycling sessions.

These mitts are designed for breathability and are best suited for mild to warm conditions. For cold weather, layered gloves or insulated cycling gloves would be more appropriate.

Refer to the sizing chart provided by Altura, typically based on hand measurements. The bonded cuff should fit snugly but not constrict circulation. Consult the product page for specific measurement guidance.

Wash as needed, typically after several rides or when they start to feel or smell unclean. Over-washing can degrade materials faster, so focus on cleaning after use when necessary.

This refers to a highly durable fabric panel, often applied in high-wear areas, that uses ceramic particles to resist abrasion and wear, extending the lifespan of the mitt.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Try stretching them gently by wearing them for a short period. The materials may offer slight give over time.

Allow the mitts to dry completely. The silicone print may be less effective when wet. Avoid using the mitts in heavy rain if grip is critical.

Ensure the cuff is not overly tight and is positioned correctly on your wrist. If irritation persists, consider trying a different style of mitt or glove.

After washing and drying, gently brush the suede with a soft brush to restore its nap.
