Chiba Gel Extreme black L

The Chiba Gel Extreme gloves utilize a combination of specialized materials to ensure a secure grip and optimal cushioning during weight training. The back of the hand is made of elastic materials for a perfect fit and good ventilation. The palm is constructed from durable microfiber and features non-slip Digital Carbon Fibre inserts to maximize grip.
For cushioning, the gloves have an anatomically shaped gel padding in the palm. Some sources also mention an ergonomically shaped Poron gel padding. This padding reduces pressure and vibration, particularly on the ulnar nerve, to prevent numbness in the fingers.
Additionally, ventilation holes are incorporated into the palm to prevent heat-related performance loss. The thumb area is reinforced, and a terrycloth thumb is included for wiping away sweat.
The Chiba Gel Extreme gloves are made of the following materials: 37% polyamide, 29% polyurethane, 27% polyester, 4% elastodiene, and 3% elastane. The gloves are also washable at 30°C.

Chiba Gel Extreme gloves require regular care to maintain the elasticity of the materials and the cushioning properties of the gel inserts. Please follow these steps:

Washing: The gloves can be machine washed at 30°C. It is important to use a mild detergent. Before washing, the Velcro closures at the wrist must be carefully fastened to prevent them from damaging the delicate outer material or other textiles in the drum. Using a laundry bag is recommended.

No fabric softener: Fabric softener should not be used. The chemicals in fabric softener attack the structure of the synthetic fibers, reduce breathability, and can impair the stability of the gel padding and the grip of the palm.

Drying: The gloves should not be tumble dried. Drying on a radiator or in direct, intense sunlight should also be avoided, as high heat makes the materials brittle and can cause the gel to harden. Instead, the gloves should be air dried. It is recommended to gently reshape them briefly while still damp.

Additional instructions: The gloves must not be ironed or dry cleaned. To prevent unpleasant odors, they should be laid out to air after each use and not stored in a closed sports bag. Regular cleaning removes sweat residue, the salts of which could damage the material fibers over time.

The Chiba Gel Extreme gloves feature both an integrated elastic wrist support to stabilize the joints and a practical pull-off aid in the form of loops for easy removal after strength training.

Yes, the Chiba Gel Extreme gloves offer optimal ventilation thanks to the robust Clarino leather and the integrated ventilation holes in the palm to prevent heat build-up and heat-related performance drop during training.
