SHIMANO ESCAPE GLOVES | Lightweight Short-Finger Gloves Offering Both Operability and Breathability

Cycling gloves that offer both direct control and comfortable breathability, suitable for a wide range of rides.

From light commutes through the city to more spirited sports rides, the SHIMANO ESCAPE GLOVES are short-finger gloves that achieve a high-level balance of operability and comfort.

Designed to enhance the sense of unity between your palm, the gloves, and the shifters, they naturally support shifting and braking. Even subtle inputs are easily transmitted, providing a stable and controlled feel.

The palm uses AX™ synthetic leather, known for its durability and abrasion resistance. Combined with PORON® XRD® pads, it ensures excellent vibration absorption while maintaining a direct operational feel.

The back of the hand uses a breathable aerodynamic material. This suppresses stuffiness even in warm weather, maintaining a light and comfortable fit.

The natural fit provided by the 3-piece palm structure and ergonomic design is also a key feature. Practical usability for everyday wear, such as absorbent terry cloth and a central pull-off tab, has been carefully crafted.

These gloves are recommended for riders who seek a good balance of lightness, breathability, and operability.

Among the three models, the ESCAPE feels considerably more intuitive if operability is a priority.

The grip design is solid, making shifting and braking stable and easy to handle even during sports rides.

The PORON® XRD® pads are not too thick, striking an exquisite balance that maintains a direct feel while effectively dissipating vibrations.

With high lightness and breathability, I believe this model is versatile and suitable for everything from city riding to sports rides.
