Gel is a cyclists best friend. If people made gel pillows wed probably buy them. But its in mitts that gel really makes a difference, when the vibrations from the handlebars over rough roads can strain even the strongest arms. Alturas tried & tested Progel™ system is sewn into the palms, providing cushioning & shock absorption. Grip is enhanced by a special silicon palm print. Sweat wont build up inside thanks to the Altura Dry™ technology which works to wick moisture away, while the perforated palms provides ventilation to keep you cool. The only part of the mitts that are absorbent, are the convenient sweat wipe panels. When the rest of you starts to sweat, use them to dry yourself. Hook & loop cuff adjusters for a comfortable fit. Finger pull tabs make taking mitts on & off easier & as with all altura clothing, we have added reflective detailing to help night time visibility.
