Highlights

• Original three-piece palm and ergonomic finger crotch wrap the hand more naturally for a closer feel on the bars

• Breathable mesh back keeps air moving and your hands cooler in the heat
• Built largely from recycled materials for a lighter footprint
• Soft terry sweat wipe to mop your brow on the move

Comfort that lasts the distance

The vibration-damping gel sits in the palm where pressure builds over hours of riding, taking the edge off rough surfaces so your hands stay comfortable late into a ride. The three-piece palm and shaped finger crotch follow the curve of your hand for a natural, low-bulk fit.

Breathable and grippy

A grippy synthetic suede palm gives a secure hold on levers and grips, while the breathable mesh across the back of the hand lets heat escape and sweat evaporate. A flat, absorbent terry panel is on hand to wipe away sweat without breaking your rhythm.

Made with recycled materials

The synthetic suede palm is made with 62% recycled polyester, the mesh back with 94% recycled polyester, and the stretchy finger crotch with 80% recycled nylon, so the gloves tread a little lighter without giving up performance.
