Whether you're pounding pavement, grinding gravel, or slicing through singletrack, the Expedition Glove will improve your ride. The key element of this endurance-focused glove is the 1:1 Control Gel Palm, which uses a central pad to support the natural curve of your hand, preventing nerve compression that causes numbness. Unlike traditional padded gloves that can feel bulky, this design maintains contact points - under the knuckles and at the base of the palm - that are crucial to handlebar feel. You will notice added control out of the parking lot, and less fatigue deep into the ride. The synthetic leather palm material has the durability and feel of genuine leather while being washable, and the Lycra panel on the back provides excellent breathability to keep you comfortable throughout the adventure.
