Most of the big bike manufacturers have their own clothing and accessory lines. Some simply use their own brand for these products while others maintain a separate brand to allow them to reach out to different markets or market segments. Take Mace Gear, for example. Mace is the clothing and accessory arm of Canadian bicycle manufacturer, Norco Bikes.
While I’ve long been a fan of Norco, I’m just now getting introduced to their Mace line and am liking what I’m seeing. Mace doesn’t target the XC racer-type of mountain biker, but really reaches out to the downhill, freeride and all-mountain riders (e.g. you and me) with casual-yet-functional mountain biking gear.
Mace Mirage Gloves
Take the Mirage gloves… They are a snug-fitting lightweight design made for all-mountain riding. No bulky padding or armor here, just texturized rubber and breathable fabrics used in perfect strategery. The terry-cloth thumb can wipe your brow while the rubbery grip pattern on all fingers and palm will ensure consistent grip and brake feel. Articulated knuckles add to the overall package. Solid mountain biking gloves, indeed.
- Imitation patent rubber back.
- Sublimated tree graphic.
- Expandable finger gussets.
- Loads of terry for sweat absorption.
- Synthetic patent leather.
- Sublimated polyester mini mesh.
- Amara synthetic leather
- MSRP: $35 (USD) / $39 (CAD)
For now, you’ve got to either be Canadian or nearly-Canadian to get ahold of Mace Gear, but look for more dealers in the States soon. Or, check out Bellingham-based FanatikBike.com to buy Mace Products.
