SHIMANO EXPLORER GEL GLOVES | Touring gloves for comfortable long rides

Cycling gloves that support long-distance rides with gel pad vibration absorption and a comfortable fit.

Whether you're touring and extending your distance while enjoying the scenery, or doing a long ride that keeps you pedaling all day, the longer the ride, the more comfort in your hands makes a big difference.

SHIMANO EXPLORER GEL GLOVES are comfort-focused short-finger gloves that combine vibration absorption with a natural feel.

Soft gel pads are placed in the palm to effectively absorb fine vibrations and impacts from the road surface, reducing fatigue even on long rides.

Furthermore, the 3-piece palm structure and ergonomic design provide a natural grip. The synthetic suede palm with excellent grip also supports stable handling.

The back of the hand uses a breathable mesh material to maintain comfort even in hot weather. The highly elastic finger crotch does not hinder finger movement, leading to a smooth operating feel.

Practical features convenient for touring, such as absorbent terry cloth and a central pull-off tab, are also included. These gloves combine comfort and ease of use at a high level.
