A practical choice for riders with larger hands who want breathable full-finger gloves for touring, commuting, gravel and comfortable everyday riding.
Built for long-distance and all-day riding, the Shimano EXPLORER FF Gloves combine full-finger coverage with a comfortable, practical touring design. The three-piece palm and stretchy ergonomic finger crotch follow the natural shape of your hand, helping reduce bunching and preserve dexterity as you ride.
A grippy synthetic suede leather palm gives you a reliable hold on the bars, while memory foam and soft sponge padding help take the sting out of vibration and rougher surfaces. The breathable mesh back allows heat to escape, making these gloves a sensible option for warmer rides and everyday use.
The mid-length slip-on cuff makes them easy to put on and remove, and touchscreen-compatible fingertips mean you can check your phone or bike computer without taking them off. With a black finish and sizes from S to XXL, this XXL version suits riders who want full-finger comfort without a bulky feel.
