FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for mountain biking?

Yes, their slip-resistant leather palm makes them highly effective for maintaining control on technical trails, though they are lighter than dedicated downhill gear.

Can I put these in the dryer?

No, you should avoid machine drying as the high heat can damage the leather and ruin the elastic properties of the fabric.

What is the best way to determine my size?

Measure the circumference of your hand across the knuckles and compare it against the brand sizing chart for the most accurate fit.

Do these gloves offer protection against wind?

While they provide some wind resistance, they are primarily engineered for aeration, so they are best suited for warmer weather rather than cold winter conditions.

Will the reflective logo wear off?

The reflective logo is durable, but to preserve it, avoid using abrasive scrub brushes when hand-washing or heavy-duty wash cycles.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel too tight during the first use

Leather components may require a brief break-in period; wear them for shorter rides initially to allow the material to conform to your hand shape.

Palm grip is becoming slippery

Wash the gloves with mild detergent to remove accumulated skin oils and road grime that can build up on the leather surface.

Quick-Pull tabs are difficult to grab

Ensure you are pulling from the designated pull-point rather than the cuff fabric to avoid unnecessary stress on the stitching.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High level of breathability for hot weather
  • Excellent grip due to leather palm construction
  • Convenient Quick-Pull removal system
  • Machine washable for easy maintenance

Cons

  • Limited to 30-degree washing temperature
  • Leather palm requires care to avoid stiffening
  • Specific unisex sizing may not fit all hand shapes perfectly

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Chiba mitts last throughout the season, follow these guidelines. Before your first ride, ensure the elastic cuff fits snugly around your wrist without restricting blood flow. For cleaning, these gloves are machine washable at temperatures up to 30 degrees Celsius. It is recommended to use a mild detergent and avoid bleach or fabric softeners, which can degrade the leather palm's grip and the elasticity of the upper material. Always air dry the gloves away from direct heat sources or prolonged sunlight, as extreme heat can cause the leather to dry out and crack.
