The Rapha Core Gloves are cycling gloves designed for road cycling and general bike use, providing essential hand protection and comfort during rides. Made with a durable synthetic leather palm that ensures reliable grip on the handlebars while maintaining flexibility, these gloves feature strategically placed padding to reduce pressure on the ulnar nerve and minimize hand fatigue during longer rides. The breathable mesh back offers effective ventilation to cool the hands, with an elastic wrist closure that provides a secure fit without restricting movement. These gloves incorporate touchscreen-compatible fingertips on the thumb and index finger, allowing for device operation without removal. The minimalist design focuses on functionality with reflective details for enhanced visibility in low-light conditions. Suitable for various weather conditions, the Rapha Core Gloves balance protection and dexterity for cyclists seeking practical handwear. The materials are designed for durability and consistent performance, with attention to seam placement to avoid irritation. Available in multiple sizes for different hand measurements, these gloves represent a focused approach to cycling essentials without unnecessary features. Care instructions recommend hand washing in cool water and air drying to maintain material integrity. The product aligns with Rapha's focus on functional cycling apparel, developed through rider feedback and practical testing.
