Sallow Green Tea 2.3 Short Cycling Gloves

Suarez Sallow Green Tea 2.3 Short Cycling Gloves

These short-finger cycling gloves from Suarez are designed for riders who want protection and grip without sacrificing a lightweight, airy feel. The palm features a padded, breathable mesh construction that dampens vibrations and quickly wicks away moisture. Non-slip elements on the palm increase safety at the handlebars, while a terry insert on the thumb reliably absorbs sweat. The upper material made from elastic high-return fabric fits ergonomically and supports natural hand movement, including UV protection for long summer days in the saddle.

Technical Details and Functions

The Sallow Green Tea 2.3 strategically combines materials according to functional areas: mesh on the palm for airflow and dampening, stretch fabric on the upper hand for shape stability and comfort. Anti-slip prints on the palm stabilize grip control when climbing, sprinting, or on rough surfaces. A terry patch on the thumb prevents sweat from running into your face and is a proven detail on high-quality summer gloves. The short-finger layout provides direct handlebar feel and according to standard technical tests is ideal when ventilation, grip, and light padding are desired. The integrated UV protection rounds out the summer setup and protects the exposed upper hand during long rides.

Applications and Benefits

Whether road bike commuting, longer training rides in the lowlands, or gravel rides on weekends: these gloves are designed for warm to hot conditions. The combination of dampening and ventilation reduces numbness without losing feedback at the handlebars. Especially on longer tours, the non-slip elements provide noticeable gains in control, such as on descents or when wet from sweat. The terry thumb is practical on steep climbs when heart rate rises and quick wiping is needed. Thanks to the elastic fit, the gloves sit securely without constricting and can be easily removed after the ride.

Care and Durability

To ensure the material and padding perform well long-term, we recommend gentle care with cold water and mild detergent, ideally in a laundry bag or by hand washing. Avoid hot water, bleach, and fabric softener, as these can damage the elastic fibers and coatings. After washing, air dry and avoid direct heat sources to protect the slip-resistant prints and high-return fabric. These simple steps support shape stability, breathability, and the lifespan of your gloves through many Swiss summers.

Fit, Variants and Combination

The stretchy materials ensure an ergonomic fit with a close, sporty feel – ideal for road cycling, gravel, and indoor sessions. The short-finger design harmonizes particularly well with breathable summer jerseys and lightweight handlebar tape when maximum ventilation is required. We carry the Sallow 2.3 in three variants, including the fresh Green Tea colorway that combines in a modern and understated way. Those who spend a lot of time in the sun benefit additionally from the UV protection of the upper hand – a detail that's noticeable in everyday summer riding. As retailers, we recommend these gloves as a lightweight upgrade for more comfort and grip on Swiss roads and mountain passes.
