Using these Dirtpaw mountain bike gloves is easy. Just slip them on and adjust the hook and loop closure until you get a comfortable and secure fit. When riding, the touch - screen compatibility allows you to use your phone without taking off the gloves. As for maintenance, you can wash them with mild soap and water when they get dirty. Make sure to let them air - dry. When not in use, store them in a dry place. Avoid exposing them to sharp objects as this may damage the durable fabrics and the TPR knuckle coverage. Also, be gentle when stretching them to maintain their built - in stretch for maximum dexterity.
