Product Information
Full details
The Fox Defend Lo Pro Fire MTB Gloves are designed for mountain bikers and outdoor enthusiasts who require dexterity and warmth during cold-weather rides. These low-profile gloves provide a balance of thermal protection and tactile feedback through a fleece-lined interior and a conductive Clarino palm, though their lightweight construction is best suited for chilly rather than extreme arctic conditions.

FAQs
Are these gloves waterproof?
They feature a Durable Water-Repellent (DWR) finish which sheds light rain and mud, but they are not fully waterproof.
Can I use my smartphone with these gloves?
Yes, the palm and fingertips feature conductive material compatible with most touchscreen devices.
How should I clean my Fox Defend Lo Pro gloves?
Hand wash with mild detergent and air dry away from heat to protect the specialized fabrics.
Are they heavily padded?
No, these are designed as low-profile gloves to maximize bar feel and dexterity.
Are these suitable for freezing weather?
They are designed for cool to cold riding conditions, but they are not heavy-duty mittens meant for extreme winter cold.
Troubleshooting
Touchscreen functionality is unresponsive
Ensure the conductive patch on the index finger is clean and free of mud; check that the glove is snug against your fingertip.
Gloves feel cold in very low temperatures
These are low-profile gloves for cool weather; consider using a thin liner glove if additional insulation is required.
Water begins to soak through the exterior
The DWR finish may be wearing off. Clean the gloves and apply a fresh DWR spray treatment designed for technical outdoor gear.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent tactile feedback for precise bike handling
- Effective at shedding light rain and trail splatter
- Reliable touchscreen performance
- Adjustable cuff ensures a secure, locked-in fit
- Durable construction resists trail wear and tear
Cons
- Not intended for extreme sub-zero winter temperatures
- Minimal padding compared to downhill-specific gloves
- DWR finish may require periodic refreshing after heavy washing
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, adjust the hook and loop closure at the cuff until the glove feels secure but allows for full wrist range of motion. For care, hand wash with mild soap to preserve the DWR finish and the conductive threading on the fingertips. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can compromise the technical properties of the nylon and fleece materials. Always air dry the gloves away from direct heat sources to maintain the integrity of the compression-moulded cuff.
