Summit WRX Glove - Men's

Polartec NeoShell is a cutting-edge fabric technology that offers both waterproof and breathable properties. This means that while it keeps water from entering the gloves, it also allows moisture from sweat to escape. For cyclists, this is crucial during wet rides, as it helps keep your hands dry and comfortable, enhancing your overall performance and enjoyment.

Ax Suede Slim Fleece is a lightweight, synthetic material used in the palms of the gloves. It is designed to be water-resistant while providing an excellent grip on handlebars. The slim fleece construction ensures flexibility and dexterity, allowing you to maintain control of your bike without sacrificing comfort. This balance is essential for an enjoyable ride, especially on challenging terrains.

Touchscreen compatible gloves feature special materials in the index finger that allow you to interact with touchscreen devices, like smartphones or GPS units, without removing your gloves. This is particularly useful for cyclists who need to check their devices for navigation or communication while on the move, ensuring you stay connected without compromising your comfort.

Water-resistant gloves can repel water to some extent but are not completely waterproof. This means they can handle light moisture and splashes, making them suitable for drizzly conditions. However, in heavy rain, they may not keep your hands completely dry. Understanding this distinction helps you choose the right gloves based on the weather conditions you expect during your rides.

These gloves are designed to cater to a variety of cycling activities, including Enduro, Trail, and Cross-Country. Enduro involves longer rides with mixed terrains, Trail focuses on natural paths, and Cross-Country is about racing over varied landscapes. Knowing the intended use of the gloves helps you select the right pair that matches your cycling style and enhances your performance.

The combination of Polartec NeoShell for breathability and waterproofing, along with Ax Suede Slim Fleece for grip, ensures that your hands stay dry and comfortable in various weather conditions. Whether you're riding in light rain or tackling muddy trails, these gloves provide the protection and dexterity needed to maintain control and focus, ultimately enhancing your cycling performance.
