What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying: "I wear the Core Mitts almost every ride in warm weather-there's just enough padding to take the edge off without sacrificing bar feel. The mesh back keeps things breathable, and the synthetic palm grips even when it's hot and sweaty."When the temps rise and the road stretches ahead, we reach for the Core Mitts. Built by Rapha with warm-weather comfort in mind, these mitts strike a sweet spot between protection, bar feel, and breathability. Whether you're training, racing, or heading out for a summer spin, the Core Mitts keep your hands cool and your grip steady. A lightweight mesh upper ventilates efficiently, while the synthetic suede palm offers solid grip in both dry and wet conditions. Strategic foam padding absorbs road buzz without muting your connection to the bar, and a bound cuff ensures a snug, secure fit that won't shift mid-ride. They're sleek, packable, and a key warm-weather essential for any ride kit.
