Built for long days in the saddle, the Shimano Explorer Gel gloves soften the ride and keep your hands fresh from the first kilometre to the last. Gel padding in the palm soaks up road and trail buzz, while a grippy synthetic suede surface keeps you confidently connected to the bars.

Highlights

  • Vibration-damping gel padding cushions the palm for all-day comfort
  • Three-piece palm and ergonomic finger crotch follow the natural shape of your hand
  • Grippy synthetic suede palm for secure control of the cockpit
  • Breathable mesh back lets heat and moisture escape
  • Built with recycled materials throughout

Comfort that lasts

The soft gel insert in the palm absorbs impacts and vibration, easing pressure on your hands over long touring and gravel rides. An anatomically shaped three-piece palm and stretchy finger crotch let your hand move and grip naturally, so the gloves stay comfortable hour after hour.

Stay cool and dry

A breathable mesh back of the hand keeps air flowing and helps sweat evaporate, while a soft, absorbent terry cloth panel on the thumb lets you mop perspiration on the move. Mid-length slip-on cuffs are quick to pull on and stay put without fuss.

Made responsibly

Shimano builds the Explorer Gel using recycled polyester in the suede palm and mesh back and recycled nylon in the stretchy finger crotch, reducing the environmental footprint without compromising feel.
