FAQs

What is D3O technology?

D3O is a reactive material that is soft and flexible during normal use but locks together upon impact to absorb and dissipate energy.

Do these gloves have touch-screen compatibility?

While designed for control, always test your specific device, as touch sensitivity can vary depending on your screen protector.

Are these gloves machine washable?

Hand washing is recommended to maintain the technical fabrics and the life of the D3O protection.

Are these suitable for winter riding?

These gloves are designed for breathability and airflow, so they are best for spring, summer, and autumn rather than extreme cold.

Is the palm padding thick?

No, these gloves feature a zero-padding palm to ensure maximum tactile feedback and connection with your bike's grips.

Troubleshooting

Silicone grip losing traction

Gently clean the palm with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove trail dust and debris buildup.

Gloves feel stiff after washing

Ensure they are air-dried completely; flex the fabric and D3O inserts gently once dry to restore full range of motion.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent dexterity due to non-padded palm
  • Breathable, lightweight materials prevent overheating
  • D3O protection is highly flexible and low profile
  • Strong silicone grip for wet-weather performance

Cons

  • Lacks padding for vibration dampening
  • Not suitable for riders preferring a cushioned feel
  • Protection limited to knuckle area

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your gloves, always check that the D3O inserts are correctly positioned across your knuckles before beginning your ride. For cleaning, hand wash the gloves using mild soap and cool water, then allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources to preserve the integrity of the fabric and the silicone grip pattern. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents, as these can degrade the stretch properties and the D3O material over time.
