In designing our very first mountain bike glove for women, we took all the years of perfecting our road gloves and adapted to the specific needs of mountain biking. We worked with a glove designer who's an expert and has designed for all the big cycling brands out there, so the materials, the padding and the fit are all spot on. Everything begins with fit and this is what sets the Vista apart from other mtb-style gloves. Although it has lots of technical fabrics and features, there's no chafing, bunching or hard edges. An extended cuff adds protection and relieves pressure against wrists. Ax Suede palms provide a confident bar grip with perforations for breathability and 3mm padding in key comfort zones. Back of hand is a blend of beauty and beast, appropriate for the toughest riding conditions.
