FAQs
Are these mitts touchscreen compatible?
While not specifically marketed as touchscreen compatible, the lightweight nature of the fingers may allow for limited interaction, though they are designed primarily for grip and ventilation.
Can I use these for mountain biking?
They are best suited for road or light gravel use. For technical mountain biking, you may prefer a glove with more knuckle protection.
How do I determine my size?
Measure the circumference of your hand around the knuckles, excluding the thumb, and refer to the standard Endura size chart.
Does the gel padding make them bulky?
No, the Palmistry technology uses a slim-profile perforated gel that is designed to be minimal while still providing essential vibration damping.
Are they suitable for indoor turbo training?
Yes, their extreme breathability makes them an excellent choice for indoor cycling where cooling is the primary concern.
Troubleshooting
Mitts feel loose during the ride
Ensure the mitt is pulled fully over the palm; if they remain loose, verify you have selected the correct size based on your hand circumference.
Silicone grip losing effectiveness
Gently clean the palm area with warm water and a tiny drop of soap to remove built-up hand oils and road grime.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent ventilation for hot climate cycling
- Lightweight and low-profile design
- Enhanced grip due to silicone palm detailing
- Comfortable stretch fit without restrictive closures
Cons
- Minimal padding for rough off-road terrain
- Not suitable for cold weather conditions
- Thin material may show wear faster than heavy-duty gloves
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Since these mitts feature a strapless, stretch-fit cuff, simply pull them on and adjust the palm position until the gel padding aligns with the base of your fingers. They are compatible with all standard road and flat-bar bicycle grips.
To ensure longevity:
- Machine wash on a gentle cycle in a mesh laundry bag to protect the mesh fabric.
- Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, which can degrade the grip of the silicone overlay.
- Always air dry the mitts away from direct heat sources, such as radiators or direct sunlight, to preserve the elasticity of the stretch fabric.
