Built for long, all-day rides, the Shimano Explorer Gel Gloves wrap your hands in soft gel padding that soaks up road buzz and trail chatter, so you finish your ride feeling fresher. A grippy synthetic suede palm keeps you connected to the bars for confident, fatigue-free control.
Highlights
- Gel palm padding dampens vibration and cushions impacts for lasting comfort
- Grippy synthetic suede palm for secure, reliable control on the bars
- Breathable mesh back lets heat escape on warm-weather rides
- Three-piece palm and ergonomic finger crotch for a natural, no-bunch fit
- Soft terry cloth panel to mop sweat on the move
- Made largely from recycled materials
All-day comfort
The standout feature is the gel padding across the palm, tuned to absorb the impacts and vibrations that wear your hands out over distance. Paired with the original three-piece palm and ergonomic finger crotch, the gloves move naturally with your hand for less bunching and better dexterity, ride after ride.
Grip and control
A grippy synthetic suede palm, made with 62% recycled polyester, gives you a sure connection to the bars and levers without sacrificing feel. A soft, absorbent terry cloth panel is on hand to wipe away sweat when the pace heats up.
Breathable build
The back of the hand uses a breathable mesh made with 94% recycled polyester to let heat escape and keep your hands cool. Recycled materials feature throughout, including the stretchy finger crotch and cuffs.
Compatibility & fit
Unisex sizing in black. These are touring and trail gloves suited to warm to hot conditions, ideal for road, gravel, trekking and everyday riding. Check Shimano's size chart and measure your hand circumference for the best fit, as gloves run close to the hand.
