Product Overview
The Spiro short glove is a specialist piece of equipment designed for individuals who require a balance of protection and dexterity during active tasks. These fingerless gloves are engineered to handle high-mileage use, ensuring that the wearer maintains full control without sacrificing comfort. By combining a lightweight construction with technical fabrics, these gloves serve as an essential layer for those spending long hours on the move or handling equipment where a secure grip is paramount.
Key Features
Microfibre Palm Grip: The soft microfibre palm provides a reliable surface for gripping handles or tools, reducing slippage and increasing safety during operation.
Padded Palm Support: Integrated padding helps to absorb vibration and pressure, which is essential for preventing hand fatigue and discomfort during extended periods of activity.
Central Finger Loop: This practical addition allows for the quick and effortless removal of the gloves, particularly useful when hands are warm or slightly damp from exertion.
Adjustable Tear-Release Wrist Strap: The customisable closure ensures the gloves stay firmly in place, providing a secure fit that can be adjusted to individual preference.
Design & Performance
The performance of the Spiro short glove stems from its thoughtful material composition. The top of the glove is crafted from a blend of nylon and elastane, offering the necessary stretch to move with the natural contours of the hand. This ensures a snug, aerodynamic fit that does not restrict movement. The palm and strap utilise a high-quality polyester microfibre, selected for its durability and tactile properties.
In terms of weight, these are very lightweight gloves, designed to feel almost like a second skin. This lack of bulk is crucial for maintaining sensitivity while still providing a protective barrier against friction and impact. The fingerless design is a deliberate choice for those who need to use touchscreens or perform intricate tasks that require the fine motor skills of the fingertips.
Why No Customisation?
We do not offer customisation on this particular item due to its technical nature and the limited surface area available. Applying embroidery or heat-applied prints would likely compromise the structural integrity of the lightweight fabrics and interfere with the padding and grip elements. Our priority is ensuring the product performs as intended in high-intensity environments.
Use Cases
These gloves are ideally suited for high-mileage cycling, active transport, and sports where hand protection and grip are required. They are also highly effective for light manual tasks that demand fingertip precision while needing palm protection, making them a versatile choice for both professional and leisure environments.

Practical Advice
When choosing your size, which ranges from Small to Large, ensure the glove fits snugly across the palm. A loose glove can cause friction, leading to blisters, while a glove that is too tight may restrict circulation. The adjustable wrist strap should be used to secure the glove without being overly restrictive.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and longevity of these gloves, we recommend they are sponge cleaned only. This gentle approach prevents the delicate microfibre and internal padding from being damaged by the aggressive agitation of a washing machine.
Do not bleach or dry clean this item, as harsh chemicals will degrade the elastane fibres, causing the glove to lose its shape and elasticity. Similarly, you should avoid tumble drying and ironing, as high heat will melt the technical polyester and nylon components, rendering the gloves unusable. By following these instructions, you ensure the materials remain soft and the grip stays effective.
