We had some big goals for our Soleil cycling glove program: deliver the best fit against the handlebars without compromising on padding comfort; provide the highest level of sun protection using the lightest weight fabric possible. Our Soleil Gloves introduce a unique 3D patterned palm that helps to eliminate excess bunching, while following the natural curves of the hand. This design concept is an effective, articulated approach to fit and forms more ergonomically against the handlebars. In addition, the palms are made with Ax Suede, perforated for breathability. It wraps to the back of the hand (no side seam) for comfort on the handlebar hoods and has strategically-placed padding for vibration dampening. Backs of the hands are made of our UPF 50+ Soleil sun protective fabric, light enough for 90+ degree days. Available in both short and full finger styles for complete sun protection.
