雨天時のサイクリングにも安心！「ShowersPass Crosspoint Waterproof Knit Gloves」

Peace of mind even when cycling in the rain! "ShowersPass Crosspoint Waterproof Knit Gloves"

January 26, 2024

Personally, until now, there weren't many products that really caught my eye (or rather, that I would want myself). So, it's been difficult to find a product that could be a regular item in our store, but I've finally found it! This one looks promising!

Peace of mind for cycling in the rain. Introducing the lightweight, waterproof, and breathable knit gloves, Crosspoint Waterproof Knit Gloves, from Portland, Oregon-based "ShowersPass," a brand offering high-quality products with excellent waterproofing and breathability.

What makes them so good? First and foremost, as the title suggests, they are waterproof gloves.

By placing a waterproof and breathable membrane material (the silver film peeking out from between the seams) inside the knit, it prevents the inside from getting stuffy and keeps water out from the outside.

Incidentally, since the membrane material is extremely thin, its functionality will likely diminish over time with continuous use.

And what ultimately sealed the deal was the excellent fit achieved by this slightly thinner knit material.

Actually, there are other knit materials and waterproof gloves out there, but they were all thicker and bulkier, making delicate finger movements very difficult.

These [CROSSPOINT WP KNIT GLOVES] use a slightly thinner knit material, so they fit snugly to your fingertips and should be useful without stress in various outdoor situations, including STI shifting!

Of course, since they are relatively thin, cold protection isn't the top priority, but I think it's a manageable level if you get creative, such as by using inner gloves.

Incidentally, the silicone material on the surface ensures grip when wet. Unfortunately, they are not smartphone compatible~~
