FAQ

What is the SmartShock protection system?

SmartShock is 100%s proprietary back-of-hand impact protection technology. It uses a structured padding system designed to absorb and redirect impact energy from the kind of falls and knuckle strikes that occur in trail and XC riding, offering more meaningful protection than standard foam-lined gloves.

Is the Cognito bulky or restrictive?

No. The Cognito is engineered to balance protection with mobility. The articulated construction keeps your fingers and palm free to grip, brake, and shift without fighting against the glove, even with the added protection layer on the back of the hand.

Can the Cognito be used for road cycling or gravel?

It can, though the Cognito is primarily designed for MTB use where back-of-hand impact protection has the most value. Road and gravel cyclists who want impact coverage for aggressive riding or bikepacking in technical terrain will find it useful, but it is more glove than most road riders need.

Best For

XC and trail mountain bikers who ride aggressive terrain and want meaningful hand protection without a bulky glove that limits feel and dexterity. The Cognito is ideal for riders who have taken a knuckle hit on a trail and decided it was time to stop relying on standard gloves.
