Nibali Shark Summer Gloves

Combining the Shark Collection graphics with the Unique Gloves design, the Shark Unique Gloves offer essential comfort and protection for the hands when riding and racing. The three-dimensional, seamless and elastic palm works as a second skin that actually provides protection, an ideal level of cushioning, and breathability that will eliminate hand numbness and discomfort when riding. To avoid hot spots on the hand, we in concert with Elastic Interface studied the anatomy and heat generation of the hand to develop the material and design used for the palm of these gloves. The result is a system that protects the hand with exceptional shock absorption and temperature management. The EIT Palm works with the anatomy of the hand, improving blood flow and relieving pressure from the ulnar nerve. Its three-dimensional design was developed according to anthropometrical parameters and input from the University of Padua. The elasticity and the anatomic shape make the palm highly adaptable to the hand, while the absence of stitching improves the grip on the handlebar and removes hot-spot causing pressure points. The multi-directional curvature and hand-mapping construction, results in distinct zones of support using high-density perforated foam to maximize comfort. The center of the palm is laser perforated to increase breathability. The upper part of the glove is made with a perforated knitted fabric for better ventilation and improved thermoregulation. The Q36.5 Shark Unique Gloves are designed to be used by champions who are always ready to attack and fight for victory.
