FAQs
Are these gloves fully waterproof?
No, they are highly water-repellent. They will protect you from light rain and splashes, but they are not designed for submersion or heavy, sustained downpours.
Are they touchscreen compatible?
The product features ergonomic design and silicone grip; for specific touchscreen functionality, check the fingertips for dedicated conductive fabric, as this can vary by production batch.
Can these be machine washed?
Yes, but use a delicate cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleaching agents to protect the GORE-TEX membrane.
Are these suitable for deep winter?
These are considered 'Mid' gloves. They are ideal for chilly, windy days but may not provide enough insulation for sub-zero temperatures depending on your personal tolerance.
What is the benefit of the single-seam design?
The single-seam construction minimizes friction points and potential irritation, leading to a more comfortable fit that feels like a second skin.
Troubleshooting
Gloves feel damp inside after long use
While the fabric is highly breathable, extreme sweat buildup during very high-intensity workouts may occur. Ensure you are not layering with oversized clothing that prevents moisture wicking.
Reduced grip over time
Oil and dirt buildup can reduce the effectiveness of the silicone palm. Gently clean the palms with a damp cloth and mild soap to restore grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These gloves are designed for a snug, stretch fit. When sizing, ensure the fabric lays flat against your skin without stretching to the point of transparency. Because of the single-seam construction, you should avoid pulling the gloves on by the cuff, as this can stress the seam over time. To maintain the effectiveness of the water-repellent coating and the breathability of the WINDSTOPPER membrane, wash them according to the care label, typically using a mild liquid detergent and avoiding fabric softeners, which can clog the membrane pores. Air drying is highly recommended to preserve the elasticity of the fabric.
