The Specialized Element collection of gloves is designed to keep you warm and protected from wind and water, all without adding any bulk or restricting movement. Starting with a soft shell, water-resistant and breathable laminate, the designers add 100g Primaloft® for insulation from the cold. The Element gloves are the lightest Primaloft-insulated gloves Specialized makes, so you get excellent flexibility and handlebar feel. The Ax Suede palm, meanwhile, provides a sure grip, even when wet, in order to keep your hands where they need to be- in control on the bar and levers. Lastly, the rib-knit cuff is the most accommodating cuff closure of the line, and it is designed to go seamlessly under a jacket cuff.
