They bridge the gap between practical training gear and show-ring aesthetics.

You can clean the leather portion with a standard leather cleaner and conditioner to keep it supple. For the rubber lining, simply wipe it down with a damp cloth after your ride to remove sweat or dirt, which helps preserve the grip texture over time.
