Chiba Gel Performer brown black XXL

The gel pads in the Chiba Gel Performer gloves offer special protection for the hand nerves and carpal tunnel. The ergonomically shaped Poron gel padding dampens shocks and vibrations that can occur while cycling.
Specifically, the gel pads provide:
* Ulnar nerve protection: The gel pads reduce pressure on the ulnar nerve. This nerve runs along the outside of the hand, to the little finger and the ulnar side of the ring finger. Pressure on this nerve can lead to numbness and weakness in the hand muscles.
* Carpal tunnel protection: The padding also helps to reduce pressure on the carpal tunnel. The carpal tunnel houses the median nerve, which supplies the thumb, index, and middle fingers. Pressure and bending of the hand can lead to carpal tunnel syndrome, causing numbness and weakness in these fingers.
Chiba has developed the "BioXCell System" to address this issue. It consists of an ergonomic, two-layer, special gel cushion. This cushion sits over the ulnar nerve in the palm and is almost 0.8 cm thick to optimally protect the nerve. At the same time, it alters the pressure points of the handlebars on the hand, significantly reducing pressure on the palm and the carpal tunnel. Chiba states that BioXCell prevents numbness in the hands in 80% of cases.

Chiba Gel Performer gloves are machine washable at 30°C.
