TASCO MTB has the Pathfinder MTB Gloves with handy Velcro closure, a revamped Dawn Patrol Cold Weather MTB Gloves, and the thin and tactile Fantom Ultralite Gloves. The existing durable Scout Shorts are now coming with the REPREVE Recycled Fabric, the newer Scout Fantom MTB Shorts are highly breathable and lightweight, and brand new Scout Trail Pants are built for adventure.

Pathfinder MTB Gloves

The Pathfinder Gloves are all new for 2021.  This cleverly designed glove gives you the protection for those backcountry adventures without any sacrifice in comfort; you need not even remember you are wearing a glove.

Thoughts => One of my fave go-to gloves. The Pathfinder is durable, comfortable, and has the right amount of padding on the palm and back of the hand. I like the versatility and ease of the Velcro closure on the wrist.

Pathfinder MTB Gloves – the perfect balance of fit, breath-ability, and protection with no compromise on comfort or durability:

  • Vented Fourchettes (sides of the fingers) to allow for maximum venting
  • TPR Knuckle Protection is just where it matters when whacking through the overgrowth
  • Molded Neoprene Knuckle panel to give that extra bit of protection in high impact areas without adding a bulky feel
  • Molded articulated cuff design – no binding or feeling it restricting your movement
  • TPR Cuff enclosure – not just your standard wimpy velcro closure
  • MicroFiber Sweat wipe on thumb panel – wiping your nose never felt better!
  • Durable Silicone grip design – to make sure you don’t slip if you need to grab the brake levers
  • Medical grade velcro hook and loop enclosure – built to last and give you that ultra snug fit
  • perforations on the palm and fingers – to allow for extra ventilation
  • Anatomically engineered Clarino synthetic leather overlay – to provide additional protection & durability
  • AX Suede Palm material – do you even know it’s there comfortable??
  • Conductive threads on the index finger and thumb to ensure you don’t miss that trail-side photo
  • Men’s Sizing (XS-2XL)
  • $38

Dawn Patrol Cold Weather MTB Gloves

For 2021, TASCO has created a brand new version of the Dawn Patrol Double Digits MTB Gloves. The Dawn Patrol chill weather mountain bike gloves are geared toward those cooler early morning rides where the temperature might drop into the low 30’s, and you may encounter the occasional wet plant as you snake through the misty singletrack.

Thoughts => For those chillier rides, the Fleece-lined Dawn Patrol are soft and comfortable gloves that make an outing tolerable and enjoyable.  

Dawn Patrol Cold Weather MTB Gloves – the perfect balance of fit, warmth, wind, and moisture protection (and style) with no compromise on comfort or durability:

  • Windproof and Water resistant top of hand construction keeps your hand protected from the wind and moisture you might encounter on those early mornings!
  • Fleece-lined inner construction – snuggles your knuckles keeping you toasty warm
  • Velcro free neoprene enclosure leaving you no excuse for not washing them after every ride
  • Conductive threads on both the index finger and thumb of the MTB glove to ensure you don’t miss that trail-side photo
  • Better contact with your controls from the seamless single layer synthetic leather palm
  • Increased control from silicone printed accents on the fingertips and palms
  • Micro-fiber handkerchief wipe on both thumbs for removal of those pesky snot rockets
  • Men’s Sizing (XS-3XL)
  • Match these up with the Merino Wool MTB Socks
  • $40

Fantom Ultralite Gloves

Welcome to your new favorite performance glove with all the features you need for a day in the saddle. When you want to wear a glove yet feel like you aren’t, you’ll reach for Fantom Ultralite.  Engineered to be the lightest glove on the market without sacrificing the perfect fit that you have come to expect from TASCO.

Thoughts => The Fantom Ultralite is a thin glove that offers an excellent tactile feel on the bars, shifting, and braking. And they are sweet in warm toasty weather.

Features

  • Seamless, Vented Ax Suede palm material to maximize cockpit feedback
  • Full-vent mesh top hand for that second-skin fit and a locked-in feel
  • Open hole mesh between the fingers to maximize airflow

Whether it’s for warmer days, weight savings on race day, or just for that ultimate contact with the grips.

Scout Shorts

We didn’t reinvent the MTB short, but we did design a really good one! Sometimes less is more, so we evaluated the necessary features in an all-day trail short and began with that. The end result is a product we really love riding in, and we believe you will too.

Thoughts => The Scout are a durable and comfortable pair of shorts. The front closure system with buckles and a swatch of Velcro is effortless to use, and no zippers to hassle with during use! They feel perfect on the bike and around town.

  • Durable self dyed fabric

Scout Trail Pants

When designing the Scout trail pant, we had to balance the durability with comfort and ventilation. While pants are best for fall and winter riding, we wanted to build something that could also be used at the bike park in summer or around the campfire without detracting from on-bike performance. The Scout Pants are constructed with the same durable fabric as our Scout Shorts but feature two side pockets that double as ventilation ports allowing for quick temperature adjustments.

Scout REPREVE = Recycled Fabric: Made with 90% REPREVE traceable, recycled 4-way stretch polyester spandex blend made from plastic bottles.

  • Durable self dyed fabric
  • Smartphone stash pockets double as large ventilation ports
  • Zipped front pockets
  • Quality SBS zippers
  • Premium spring snaps
  • Internal waist adjustment system
  • Park pass hanging loop
  • Articulated trail fit
  • Triple stitch rear rise
  • Elastic leg cuff for adjustable leg length
