Silicone inserts: cushioning and grip This pair of gloves rests on 3 ergonomic hexagonal silicone inserts. These provide excellent cushioning byminimizing micro-vibrations from the road. This absorbing property is particularly beneficial while riding carbon bikes. The silicone material provides a very good grip on the handlebars, even when it's raining. Following feedback from riders, we've redesigned the cut at the wrist to eliminate any excess fabric. The Velcro strap has been removed in favor of a more ergonomic cut, in using the contours of the wrist, minimizing wrinkles and increasing comfort. On the practical front, two ties located on the middle and ring finger facilitate easy glove removal.
