FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the BioXCell cushioning?
The BioXCell cushioning is specifically designed to counteract pressure on the nerves in your hand, preventing numbness and discomfort during prolonged use, especially during activities like cycling.
How do I determine the correct size?
You should measure the circumference of your hand. For Size S, the recommended hand circumference is between 17.6 cm and 18.9 cm.
Are these gloves suitable for cold weather?
The BioXcell Air gloves are designed with ventilation in mind and are best suited for moderate to warm conditions. They do not provide significant insulation for very cold weather.
How should I clean the gloves?
The gloves are machine washable up to 30 degrees Celsius. Use a mild detergent and opt for a gentle cycle. Always air dry them; do not put them in a tumble dryer.
What is the Easy-Clip system?
The Easy-Clip is a small snap fastener integrated into the gloves that allows you to clip the pair together. This is useful for storage, transport, and keeping them paired during washing.
Can I use these gloves with my smartphone?
The terry cloth thumb material can provide some touchscreen compatibility, but the responsiveness may vary depending on the device and the specific touchscreen technology.
What material are the gloves made of?
The back of the hand is made of elastic, breathable materials, and the palm features Airmesh inserts for ventilation. The thumb includes terry cloth.
Troubleshooting
Gloves feel too tight or too loose.
Ensure you have measured your hand circumference correctly against the size guide (Size S: 17.6-18.9 cm). The elastic material will offer some give, but an incorrect measurement will result in discomfort. Consider trying a different size if the fit is significantly off.
Reduced effectiveness of BioXCell cushioning.
The cushioning is designed to adapt to your hand. Ensure the gloves are worn correctly and that no external objects are interfering with the gel pad. The cushioning's primary function is nerve pressure relief, which is most noticeable on longer rides.
Difficulty removing gloves.
Utilize the integrated Quick Pull System or the loops between the fingers. If hands are very sweaty, gently pull using these features. Avoid yanking forcefully, which could damage the glove material.
Hand numbness persists despite using the gloves.
While the BioXCell cushioning is designed to alleviate pressure, persistent numbness can sometimes be due to other factors like glove fit, bike setup (handlebar height, angle), or underlying medical conditions. Re-check glove fit and consider adjusting your bike's ergonomics.
