The Flexair Glove is a minimalist MTB glove with an exceptional fit and lightweight feel. Constructed from Stretch Cordura, it provides the greatest level of dexterity. The stretch mesh finger gussets (the fabric between your fingers) increases flexibility as well as helps channel air through the glove for superior comfort. The Flexair glove also features a conductive thread on the thumb and index finger so you can use your phone without removing your gloves. 

The Fox Dust Wiper Kit works with Fox's ultra-smooth Kashima coating to make Fox forks some of the smoothest-functioning in the industry. Unfortunately, dirt can eventually cause the seals to leak and will need to be replaced when the fork is overhauled.

Fox partnered with legendary seal manufacturer SKF to develop its slow-friction fork seals. They are an important first line of defense in keeping your fork functioning smoothly.

• Designed with SKF
• Kit contains dust seals, lower seals, and crush washer
