Designed to keep you warm & protected from wind & water, without any restrictive movement, the Specialized Element collection is the ultimate winter riding companion. Starting with a Gore WINDSTOPPER waterproof & breathable laminate, we add 100g Primaloft for insulation from the cold. The Element 1.0 gloves are the lightest softshell gloves we make, so you get excellent flexibility & 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. Lastly, the rib-knit cuff is the most accommodating cuff closure we make, & its designed to go seamlessly under a jacket cuff.
