Traditional glove padding uses multiple foam pieces stitched together, and every seam creates a potential pressure point against your palm. The Supernatural from Giro takes a different approach—a single piece of multi-density foam molded into a three-dimensional shape that matches the anatomical contours of your hand. Developed with Elastic Interface, the palm eliminates seams entirely where padding meets padding, creating smooth channels between cushioned zones that help protect arterial circulation during long rides.

The multi-density construction places firmer foam where your hands bear the most pressure and softer material where you need sensitivity. This matters because numbness and tingling during rides typically stem from compressed arteries and nerves in the palm—areas that conventional flat padding can actually make worse by creating uniform pressure across the wrong spots. The 3D molding lets the padding work with your hand's natural shape rather than against it.

Beyond the palm technology, the glove uses a stretch mesh upper (65% polyamide, 35% elastane) with an adjustable wrist closure for a secure fit across six available sizes. The palm surface is textured and perforated to enhance grip on the bars and improve airflow. Reflective details on the back of the hand add visibility for early morning or evening rides. If you've dealt with hand fatigue or numbness on longer efforts, the Supernatural's approach to padding geometry addresses the root cause rather than just adding more material.
