To use these gloves, simply slide your hand in and use the inner finger puller to adjust the fit easily. When riding, enjoy the shock - absorption from the padding and the great grip from the silicon palm. As for maintenance, hand - wash them in cool water with mild detergent. Let them air dry. Avoid using bleach or harsh chemicals as they can damage the material. Also, don't put them in the dryer. Store them in a cool, dry place when not in use.
