How to use: Simply put on the gloves like you would any other pair of gloves before you start your bike ride. Make sure they fit snugly but not too tight. Note: If your hands get really sweaty during long rides, you might want to take the gloves off and let them dry a bit. This can help prevent a smelly situation. Maintenance: You can wash these gloves by hand in mild soapy water. Rinse them well and let them air - dry. Don't use a dryer as the heat might damage the gel pads and foam padding. With proper care, these gloves will keep you comfortable on many more rides.
