PACR Windproof Raceday Gloves

Q&A

How warm are the PACR Windproof Raceday Gloves?
They are designed for cool spring and autumn conditions rather than deep winter. The windproof softshell helps block cold wind, but the gloves do not use additional insulation. The exact temperature range will vary depending on riding intensity, weather conditions, the rest of your clothing, and how sensitive your hands are to the cold.

How are they different from a winter glove?
The focus is on wind protection and maximum bar feel rather than insulation. The glove stays thin and low-bulk, while the unpadded palm and InsideGrip™ technology help maintain a very direct connection to the handlebar.

How tight is the race fit?
The fit is close enough to support precise bar feel and control, but it is designed not to feel restrictive. This balance also helps avoid unnecessary compression that could reduce comfort and warmth.

Why does the glove have an unpadded palm?
The unpadded palm is a deliberate performance choice. It reduces material between the hand and handlebar for a more direct connection, better bar feel, and precise control. Within the PACR Raceday range, padding is generally avoided for riders who prioritise performance and feedback over cushioning.

Is this glove only for road racing?
No. It works equally well for fast gravel and cyclocross, where direct bar feel, secure grip, and wind protection are just as important. Several professional riders have also used this glove for cyclocross racing.
