Troubleshooting

Hand numbness persists
Check your handlebar grip and posture; ensure the gel padding is centered directly over the pressure points on your palms.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Chiba BioXCell Air Gloves, it is important to select the correct size to ensure the gel pads align correctly with your palms. For cleaning, hand wash the gloves in lukewarm water with a mild detergent. Avoid using harsh chemicals or bleach, as these can degrade the elastic fibers and the gel cushioning. After washing, lay the gloves flat to air dry; do not tumble dry or place them on direct heat sources, as high temperatures can damage the anatomical pads. Use the Easy-Clip feature when storing the gloves in your gear bag to keep the pair together.
