Ride in minimalist comfort with the Fox Flexair Gloves in Black. Featuring a lightweight, breathable mesh backhand and a single-layer palm, they offer maximum bar feel and ventilation on the hottest trail days.
Experience the ultimate second-skin feel on your mountain bike. Engineered for riders who demand maximum breathability and an uncompromised grip, the Fox Flexair Gloves strip away the bulk without sacrificing durability. The sleek Black colourway provides a stealthy, high-performance look that effortlessly coordinates with any riding kit.
The upper hand is constructed from an ultra-lightweight, four-way stretch mesh that maximises airflow, keeping your hands cool and dry when you are pushing hard in warm weather. On the underside, the unpadded, single-layer perforated palm ensures precise handling, allowing you to feel every nuance of the trail through your grips.
Designed with a clean, slip-on style, these gloves eliminate the need for a bulky hook-and-loop wrist closure. Conductive threads woven into the thumb and index finger provide touch-screen compatibility, so you can check your maps or log your ride without stripping off your gear.

Why This IS For You
✅ Hot-Weather Riding: Perfect for summer sessions where heavy, traditional gloves lead to sweaty hands and slipping grips.
✅ Direct Control: Ideal for riders who dislike palm padding and want absolute precision and feedback from the bars.
✅ Streamlined Design: Great if you prefer a minimalist, lightweight slip-on glove that fits closely like a second skin.
Why This May NOT Be For You
❌ Hand Fatigue: If you suffer from numb hands, blisters, or palm soreness on rough terrain, you should opt for the padded Ranger Gel gloves instead.
❌ Cuff Adjustability: If you prefer a highly adjustable fit or have exceptionally thick wrists, the fixed slip-on cuff may feel restrictive.
❌ Cold Weather: The ultra-breathable mesh construction provides zero insulation, making it unsuited for chilly winter trail rides.
BFC PRO TIP
Because the Flexair uses a minimalist, stretchy slip-on cuff rather than a velcro strap, you need to be a little gentler when putting them on. Instead of pulling hard on the edge of the cuff—which can stretch out the elastic stitching over time—gently work your fingers into the glove and use the palm material to pull them firmly onto your hand. Wash them inside a mesh laundry bag to prevent the delicate mesh backhand from snagging on zippers or buttons from other gear.
