Product Overview
The Spiro Long Glove is a purposefully designed accessory for those who require both dexterity and protection during outdoor activities, particularly cycling and active work in inclement weather. These gloves feature an extended length to provide extra coverage beyond the wrist, ensuring that the gap between your sleeve and your hand remains sealed against the cold. Constructed with a focus on tactile efficiency and thermal retention, they are an essential addition to any outdoor professional's wardrobe when temperatures begin to drop.
Key Features
- Non-slip Polyurethane Palm Patches: These patches are strategically placed to enhance your grip on handlebars or tools, ensuring safety and precision even in wet conditions.
- Padded Palm Construction: The integrated padding helps to absorb vibrations and reduce pressure on the hands, which is particularly beneficial during long periods of manual activity or cycling.
- Adjustable Tear-and-Release Wrist Strap: This allows for a precise, secure fit that prevents cold air from entering the glove while ensuring the item remains firmly in place.
- Elasticated Cuffs: Working in tandem with the wrist strap, the elasticated cuff provides a secondary layer of security and comfort.
Design & Performance
The performance of these gloves is rooted in their multi-material construction. The top and cuff are crafted from 100% polyester, a lightweight fabric known for its durability and ability to wick away moisture. The palm and patches utilise 100% polyurethane, a material chosen for its exceptional grip and resilience against abrasion. Internally, the 100% polyester padding provides a necessary layer of insulation without adding excessive bulk, allowing for a natural range of motion.
In terms of feel, the gloves strike a balance between being substantial enough to offer genuine protection and flexible enough for intricate tasks. The longer fit ensures that even during vigorous movement, your skin remains protected from the elements.
Why No Customisation?
We do not offer customisation on this specific product due to its technical construction. The inclusion of polyurethane grip patches and internal padding makes the surface unsuitable for standard embroidery or heat-transfer printing. Attempting to customise these gloves could compromise the integrity of the fabric and the effectiveness of the protective padding, which would ultimately diminish the product's performance.
Use Cases
These gloves are ideally suited for the serious all-weather cyclist who requires a reliable grip and thermal protection. They are also highly effective for outdoor technicians or site workers who need a lightweight yet durable glove that offers a secure hold on equipment. Their unisex design and wide size range from Extra Small to Large make them a versatile choice for any adult team member.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, we recommend choosing a fit that is snug but not restrictive. This ensures that the padding aligns correctly with your palm and that the adjustable strap can be fastened securely. If you are frequently working in freezing temperatures, these gloves are slim enough to be worn as part of a layering system, though they are designed to perform exceptionally well on their own.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and longevity of your Spiro gloves, it is vital to follow the specific care instructions provided. This product should be sponge cleaned only. Submerging the gloves in a washing machine or using aggressive detergents can damage the polyurethane grip patches and cause the internal padding to shift or clump, rendering the gloves less effective.
Do not bleach this item, as harsh chemicals will degrade the polyester fibres and ruin the finish. Furthermore, these gloves must not be tumble dried, ironed, or dry cleaned. High heat will melt the synthetic materials and the polyurethane elements, causing permanent deformation. Simply allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to preserve their shape and functionality.
