COOlsKIn MICROFIBeR Coolskin is an exceptionally lightweight, vented fabric used in the palm of our lTZ and Rivet cloves. Along with unsurpassed airflow and breathability, it retains good structure and durability to make a lighter, cooler glove with great feel. It’s the closest you can get to a true “second skin”.

AX sUeDe MICROFIBeR Giro gloves feature AX Suede™ microfiber with a supple feel and the durability to be worn every day. In addition to great feel and comfort that mimics natural suede, AX Suede™ is easy to care for, breathable, and remains soft and flexible even in cold and wet conditions, which makes it a great value as well.

THRee-PIeCe PAlM COnsTRUCTIOn Our unique 3-piece Palm Construction tailors the fit of our gloves to reduce bunching, and allows your hands to move naturally for enhanced control that doesn’t compromise bar feel. By designing each part of the palm to mimic a hand’s features and articulation, Giro gloves increase grip and provide a superior level of protection for the entire hand.

sUPeR FIT enGIneeRInGSuper Fit™ Engineering is a proprietary process that guides the fit, design and patterning of every Giro glove for maximum comfort and performance. By carefully tailoring the palm, fingers and padding zones to match the shape and size of the hand, Super Fit™ reduces bunching and discomfort while enhancing grip, bar feel and the effectiveness of the padding.

THInsUlATe XT-s select Giro winter gloves feature Thinsulate™ XT-s insulation for exceptional warmth and comfort, with X-static® anti-microbial properties that help to control bacteria and odor. We use more insulation in the top of the gloves to provide warmth from the elements, and a little less in the palm to maintain grip and bar feel without compromising comfort.

PITTARDs leATHeR select Giro gloves feature Pittards® leathers, including Cabretta (hairsheep) leather chosen for its thin-but-tough structure. Pittards® leathers undergo a special tanning process that helps the leather to absorb less water and resist sweat better than other leathers and synthetics. In addition to outstanding performance, no other material provides the fit and comfort of natural leather; it is a difference you will feel the moment you try on a pair of Giro gloves.

ClARInO MICROFIBeR Select Giro gloves feature Clarino™ microfiber which mimics the complex structure of natural leather’s supple feel with enhanced weather resistance and everyday durability. In addition to outstanding performance, Clarino™ is easy to care for, breathable, and remains soft and flexible even in cold and wet conditions, which makes it a great value as well.

MAPP MeRInO FIBeR MAPP® Merino fibers have a complex structure with a hydrophilic (water holding) interior, known as the cortex and a hydrophobic (water repelling) exterior, known as the cuticle. This allows MAPP fabric to absorb perspiration without making you feel damp and uncomfortable, with the added benefit of being naturally water-repellent. It also buffers the body’s microclimate in changing conditions, maintaining comfort.

POROn XRD Poron® XRD™ is a soft, shock-absorbing material specifically engineered to absorb impact energy, without a loss of performance from repeated impacts. Using “intelligent molecules”, Poron® XRD™ remains supple and flexible until impacted, when the molecules lock together immediately to deflect and help absorb shock. Other benefits include “open cell, breathable” perfor-mance with antifungal properties, and no latex, PvCs, vOCs, or heavy metals.

TeCHnOGelTechnogel® is a proprietary polyurethane cushioning material originally designed for medical applications. It is unique because it molds itself to the body along all three axes to distribute pressure, while traditional gel padding materials tend to deform along only one axis, which causes pressure to accumulate. In addition to superior pressure distribution it also absorbs more impact energy, and it does not harden or break down over time.

TOUCHsCReen TeCHnOlOGy™Capacitive touchscreens found on most mobile devices like iPhone react to natural bioelectricity in your skin. By combining a conductive fiber into the fingertips of select Giro gloves, you can stay connected to your mobile device without removing your gloves.

sUPeRGel PADDInG superGel is a proprietary 6 mm two-stage padding that combines superior shock- and vibration-absorbing properties with enhanced comfort and handlebar grip. vibration damping is achieved with a base layer of 2 mm Technogel® polyurethane cush-ioning that absorbs impact energy and will not harden or break down over time. Comfort and grip at the handlebar is enhanced with 4mm rebound foam that allows hands to hold bars with more comfort and stability when roads and trails are rough.

PeRTeX Pertex© shield provides the perfect balance of waterproofness and breathability, with wind- and water- repellency and flexibility in a light weight material. The fabric combines advanced face fabric technology with a proprietary polyurethane film laminate that reduces internal condensation and increases comfort range. It’s also durable, making it a great choice for riding when the weather turns tough.

HIPORAHIPORA® barriers are made of a waterproof film with polyurethane coating and numerous micro pores which block water from the outside, yet allow the moisture generated by the body to exit. Glove liners made with HIPORA® are waterproof, windproof and breathable all at the same time, and will keep hands dry and comfortable when the weather demands it.

WOMEN’S SERIES The Women’s Series™ is a diverse collection of styles, fits and prices tailored to the tastes and needs of female riders. Not only is the level of detail and range of colors unique within the Women’s Series gloves, but they also feature female-specific sizing and patterning. That’s because most women’s hands have less volume, a narrower palm and finger lengths that differ from men’s hands.

FleX ZOnes Flex Zones™ are carefully integrated into select Giro full-finger glove patterns in order to allow the glove to mimic the hand’s natural articulation without bunching or binding. The result is a glove with a lighter, more natural feel that enhances comfort and control.
