If you\u2019re looking for a new pair of cycling gloves, you\u2019ll probably want three things: superb hand comfort, great fit and maybe a dose of aero gains. Prologo has launched two new high-end short finger gloves, the MIG CPC and MIG AIR CPC, which promise all three.<\/p>\n
They\u2019ll be used by the Bahrain Victorious team at the Tour de France and they\u2019re also trusted by elite gravel and XC MTB riders to provide the grip and long-distance comfort they need.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s how Prologo\u2019s new gloves combine two of its top technologies to help you ride further, faster in greater comfort.<\/p>\n
Enhanced CPC grips<\/h2>\n\n\n

First developed for military applications and also used in Formula 1, this patented technology consists of tiny conical protrusions on the palm\u2019s surface, which deform under pressure and offer enhanced airflow and grip that\u2019s not affected by rain. It has featured in a number of Prologo\u2019s short finger and long finger gloves since it was launched by Prologo in 2013, while its performance saddles with CPC are also a popular choice.<\/p>\n
For Prologo\u2019s new MIG AIR CPC and MIG CPC gloves, CPC has been enhanced, with a new 3D CPC polymer structure that improves grip and increases its ability to absorb vibration and micro-impacts.<\/p>\n
The layout of the CPC elements in the palm has been refined leading to greater hand comfort, lower fatigue and stress on joints, muscles and tendons and, as a bonus, better blood flow through your palms, better bike control and improved handling.<\/p>\n
Prologo has combined this patented technology with its aerodynamic glove design and aero fabrics in the new gloves.<\/p>\n
The MIG CPC gloves incorporate a comfortable extended cuff that avoids the need for a separate closure at the wrist, while new fabrics ensure a precise fit on the hand and offer longevity even after extensive use and repeated washes.<\/p>\n
In addition, Prologo has a new colour option, Optic White, which has been added to the range to reduce heat build-up by reflecting sunlight on hot rides.<\/p>\n
New aero, breathable glove fabrics<\/h2>\n\n\n

It incorporates a 3D aerodynamic pattern that\u2019s permanently woven into the fabric structure, ensuring that the aero properties don\u2019t degrade over time and providing long-lasting resistance to wear. It\u2019s comfortable too, with a soft hand feel, so it\u2019s not just for short duration time trials but also for long road and gravel rides.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s a new technical fabric on the back of the hand that\u2019s lighter and more breathable, as well as more elastic, enhancing comfort in warmer conditions. The new MIG AIR CPC aero gloves come in three colours: black, white and celestial.<\/p>\n
Modest pricing<\/h2>\n Despite all the tech in the new gloves, they\u2019re an inexpensive upgrade to enhance your ride comfort. Both the MIG AIR CPC and MIG CPC are priced at \u00a343 \/ $47 \/ \u20ac49 and available in sizes from XS to XL via Prologo\u2019s site and Prologo retailers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
