Soften the ride and keep your hands fresh on long days in the saddle. The Shimano Explorer Gel Gloves pair cushioning gel palm padding with a breathable, ergonomic build, so you stay comfortable and connected to the bars from the first kilometre to the last.
Highlights
- Gel palm padding absorbs road buzz and vibration to reduce hand fatigue on long rides
- Original three-piece palm and ergonomic finger crotch wrap the hand more naturally for a closer feel on the bars
- Grippy synthetic suede palm for confident control of levers and grips
- 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.
Compatibility & fit
A unisex short-cuff cycling glove suited to road, gravel and touring riding. This pair is finished in Jade gray. Use Shimano's glove size guide to choose your size, measuring around the widest part of your palm.
