Cold, crisp riding conditions and the exhilaration of speeding along emptier trails - winter is a great time for mountain biking. And the Defend Thermo Off-Road Gloves ensure you enjoy complete control and comfortable protection against the cold. The closed-cell foam to the back of the hand and PU liner finger gussets work hard to lock out the elements and prevent cold winds from robbing away heat. Meanwhile, confident control of your bike comes via the single-layer Clarino palm. This gives a natural level of terrain feedback through the bars. It also offers abrasion resistance and palm protection should you need to stretch out your hands to soak up a fall. Silicone fingertip prints also give an all-weather grip on the brake levers.
