A fist bump to celebrate dry, warm hands after 4 hours of riding in the rain. Winning!
Introducing The Solution: The Fiandre Glove
Cold, wet hands are the cyclist’s kryptonite and like the effect it has on the man in the red cape. Even the most hardened of cyclist will feel the debilitating effects.
The strong willed cyclist ignores the discomfort but when dexterity suffers and your hands and fingers are all but non functional, no amount of mind games will help you.
From Grand Tour winners to weekend café riders; races can be lost, rides will be cut short once the cold sets in.
When was the last time you saw a grown man close to tears…
A wide neoprene cuff with easy to use Velcro fastener helps keep the elements out
To combat this “every cyclist’s” problem; we have the new Sportful Fiandre Glove. Utilizing OutDry® 1 piece patented construction process; which creates a waterproof but breathable barrier. This impenetrable layer is heat bonded directly to the outside fabric of the glove, leaving no seams, no gaps and no way for water to get in.
With a warm insulation layer, the glove offers the right balance between warmth and dexterity. Enabling the rider to shift and brake with confidence.
For traditionalists; this glove truly comes into it’s own, at the temperature point where a neoprene glove or rather your hands no longer generate the warmth to heat the moisture between skin and glove. (And you’re normally thinking about going home…)
“Rain” can fall from the sky when you least expect it….
The Fiandre Glove marks a significant step forward in weather protection, keeping you riding for longer, in comfort and avoiding the painful re-thawing when you return home…
As they say there no such thing as bad weather only inappropriate clothing….
