- Gel palm padding absorbs road and trail vibration for less hand fatigue on long rides
- Original three-piece palm shapes naturally to your hand for a secure, comfortable grip
- Grippy synthetic suede palm gives reliable control on the bars and levers
- Breathable mesh back keeps hands cool in warm and hot conditions
- Mid-length slip-on cuffs go on and off easily, with no closure to fuss over
- Made largely from recycled materials for a lower-impact choice
All-day comfort
The Explorer Gel is built for touring, commuting and exploring. Gel padding on the palm dampens vibration from rough surfaces, helping reduce numbness and fatigue so you stay comfortable from the first kilometre to the last.
Natural fit and grip
An original three-piece palm and ergonomic shaping let the glove move with your hand, reducing bunching and improving dexterity. The grippy synthetic suede palm gives you confident control of the bars, brakes and shifters.
Breathable build
A breathable mesh back lets heat and moisture escape, making these gloves a great match for warm to hot riding. Stretch panels between the fingers add to the easy, natural feel.
Compatibility & fit
Unisex sizing in a long-finger (full-finger) cut. These are short-cuff slip-on gloves with no wrist strap. Choose your usual cycling glove size; if you are between sizes or unsure, get in touch and we can help.
