Viaterra Miller Urban - Urban Riding Gloves [Black]

The Ultimate Balance: Lightweight Comfort meets Urban Protection

Navigate the city streets with confidence in the Miller Motorcycle Gloves. Purpose-built for the daily commuter and weekend rider, the Miller bridges the gap between ultra-lightweight comfort and essential road safety. Unlike basic mesh gloves, the Miller integrates a comprehensive protection suite—hard knuckle armor, palm sliders, and TPR finger guards—into a chassis designed for maximum airflow.

Whether you are weaving through gridlock or cruising open avenues, the Miller ensures your hands stay cool, reactive, and protected against the unexpected.

Key Performance Features:

• Total Impact Protection:

  • Knuckles: Hard plastic protector with EVA foam backing absorbs shock without digging into your hand.

  • Palm: Dedicated hard palm slider backed by EVA padding to promote sliding and reduce injury during a fall.

  • Fingers: TPR protectors with memory foam padding provide flexible impact defense for your digits.

• Maximum Airflow: Constructed with perforated stretch textile and heavy-duty mesh panels on the backhand and finger fourchettes. This creates a wind-tunnel effect, wicking away sweat and keeping hands dry in stop-and-go traffic.

• Enhanced Durability: The index and middle fingers (brake/clutch fingers) feature reinforced layering to combat wear and tear from frequent lever use, significantly extending the glove's lifespan.

• Superior Grip & Control: The palm features Super Grip silicone panels and textured micro-suede, ensuring a secure hold on the throttle even in wet conditions, reducing hand fatigue.

• Commuter Convenience:

  • Touchscreen Ready: Conductive panels on the index and thumb allow full phone/GPS use.

  • Easy Entry: Integrated cuff pull-tab for quick wear.

  • Glove Clip: Standard ViaTerra clip to keep the pair attached when off the bike.

Care & Maintenance:

1. Hand Wash Only: Use lukewarm water and a mild diluted cleaning solution.

2. Spot Clean: Use a soft cloth for stains. For tough mud, use a soft-bristled brush gently (avoid aggressive scrubbing to prevent pilling).

3. Drying: Drip dry in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Never wring out the gloves.

4. Storage: Store only when completely dry in a breathable bag. Keep in a cool, dry place.

5. Prohibited: Do NOT use hot water, bleach, detergents, fabric softeners, or washing machines.

Important Usage & Fitment Notes

• Intended Use: Designed for urban commuting. While they offer impact protection, the textile/mesh construction does not offer the same abrasion resistance as full leather track gloves.

• Fit Check: The gloves should fit snugly but allow full movement. Ensure the hard knuckle protector sits on the knuckles, not sliding down the hand when you make a fist.

• Velcro Warning: The hard Velcro hook is abrasive. Ensure it does not touch the mesh fabric or inner lining, as this will cause immediate pilling and fraying.

• Break-In: While mesh gloves break in faster than leather, allow a few rides for the materials to conform to your hand shape.

Fitment & Sizing Guide

How to Measure Your Hand:
To ensure the perfect fit, use a flexible tailor's tape measure. It is best to measure your dominant hand.

1. Palm Circumference: Wrap the tape measure around the widest part of your palm (just below the knuckles). Lightly close your hand before taking the reading.

2. Hand Length: Measure from the tip of your middle finger down to the base of your palm (where the wrist crease begins).

Choosing Your Size:
Compare your measurements against the size chart.

• Different Sizes? If your Circumference and Length fall into different size categories, always choose the larger of the two sizes.

• Borderline? If you are exactly between two sizes, we recommend ordering both to try, or opting for the larger size for comfort, as hands can swell slightly during hot weather rides.

How to Check the Fit (Once Received):

1. The Comfort Check: Put the gloves on. They should feel snug but not painfully tight. Ensure there is no excess pressure on the fingertips (especially the thumb) or the knuckles.

2. The Fist Test: Form a tight fist several times. You should have enough room to move your fingers and operate the brake/clutch levers comfortably.

3. Knuckle Armor Position: Roll your hand into a tight fist and hold it for 5–10 minutes.

   • The hard plastic protector should sit naturally over your knuckles.

   • The edge of the protector should not dig into your hand or sit past the knuckle.

   • This position should be easy to hold without causing stress points or pain.

4. Check Both Hands: Left and right hands often vary slightly in size, so be sure to check the fitment on both.
