How to choose the size
Measure the circumference of the palm of your hand.
This should be done with a tape measure*.
Pass it over the joints, between the back of the hand and the fingers.
The tape measure should pass over the top and bottom of the hand to make one full turn.
*If you do not have a tape measure, you can also use a piece of string, then a ruler.
Palm circumference (cm)
_ 15.9 - 16.9 = 8 years old
_ 16.9 - 17.8 = 10 years old
_ 17.8 - 18.6 = 12 years old
What is breathable fabric?
Breathable fabrics, like the ones used for this product, wick perspiration away more quickly than a classic fabric. Their ability to dry out quickly and let water vapour escape means that your hands stay dry. To determine whether a fabric is breathable, we measure its evaporative resistance (test based on standard ISO 11092).
The lower its resistance, the more the fabric will let water vapour produced by the body escape, and therefore the more breathable it is.
Why wear cycling gloves?
It's essential to wear gloves when cycling. With their foam padding, these gloves absorb vibrations in the handlebars caused by the terrain. What's more, they protect your hands from Mother Nature (insects, lots of vegetation when mountain biking, etc.). The thumb is made from soft fabric that absorbs perspiration - perfect for wiping your brow.
