Protection is what has always inspired Elastic Interface®. But what does this concept mean for a cycling glove?
Cyclists have complained about discomfort while holding handlebars due to tingling and soreness. This kind of discomfort leads to reduced focus and performance for the rider, so here is when the Elastic Interface® Palm Technology comes into play.
The Elastic Interface® Palm respects the anatomy of the hand, improving blood flow and relieving pressure from the ulnar nerve. Its three-dimensional design is developed according to anthropometrical parameters, and with the support of the University of Padua (Department of Biomedical Sciences). Paddings placed between the bike and the hand, then, help to absorb energy that comes from a firm hold on the handlebars.
