The extended cuff, AX Suede™ fleece palm, and insulated ripstop on the back of each hand make the Defend Pro Winter Gloves our warmest cycling gloves. The fleece on the palm is slim to reduce bulkiness and is also waterproof helping to keep your hands warm and dry as you ride. Add in a conductive Clarino® overlay on your index finger for touchscreen compatibility, plus an abrasion-resistant print on high-wear areas of the back of the hand for beefed-up protection and you've got the perfect partner for your cold-weather rides.
