The Specialized Waterproof Glove LF, available at Escapa, is designed to protect your hands from the cold, moisture, and adverse weather conditions. It combines a waterproof outer fabric with Polartec insulation, providing the warmth you need to keep riding on cold, rainy days.
The fingertips feature Wiretap touchscreen technology, allowing you to operate smartphones and other compatible devices without removing your gloves. Their black finish and functional design make them a versatile option for road, Gravel, MTB, and urban commuting.
Waterproof outer fabric
The outer layer limits water penetration and helps keep your hands dry while riding in rain, humidity, or splashes from roads and trails. This protection ensures a more comfortable experience during rides in unpredictable weather.
The waterproof fabric is especially useful during the colder months, when the combination of water and wind can quickly lower the temperature of your fingers. To maintain its protective properties, it’s important to follow the washing instructions and avoid products that could damage the outer finish.
Polartec Thermal Insulation
Polartec insulation helps retain heat around the fingers and palm. Its construction provides thermal protection without hindering the operation of brake levers, shifters, or handlebar-mounted controls.
This insulation makes the gloves a suitable choice for:
- Winter road training rides.
- Gravel rides in cold, wet weather.
- MTB rides in the rain or on wet terrain.
- Urban commuting during the cold months.
- Long descents and wind-exposed areas.
Wiretap touchscreen technology
The fingertips feature Wiretap technology, designed to allow you to use touchscreen devices without removing your gloves. This feature makes it easy to check a route, adjust navigation, or use your phone during a stop.
Screen responsiveness may vary depending on the device, the screen protector used, and the level of moisture on the surface.
Cycling-Specific Fit
The cut is designed to maintain the mobility needed to grip the handlebars and operate the controls. The combination of different fabrics allows the construction to be tailored to each area of the hand, providing water protection and flexibility while riding.
