FAQs
Are these gloves suitable for winter climbing?
These gloves are designed for breathability and dexterity, not for heavy insulation. For cold weather climbing, consider a warmer, insulated glove model.
How do I know if I need a different size?
The gloves should fit snugly without constricting blood flow. If the Velcro cuff is fully tightened and the glove is still loose, or if it's uncomfortably tight even when open, you may need a different size.
Can I use these for general hiking or cycling?
While they offer grip, they are optimized for climbing. For hiking or cycling, gloves with more padding or specific grip patterns for those activities might be more suitable.
What is the main difference between faux leather and genuine leather gloves?
Faux leather typically offers good grip and feel at a lower cost but may wear out faster than genuine leather, especially under intense abrasion.
How often should I wash my gloves?
Wash your gloves as needed, typically when they become dirty or lose grip due to sweat and oils. Over-washing can degrade materials faster.
What does 'reinforced index finger and thumb in crotch' mean?
This refers to extra material and stitching added to the area where the index finger and thumb meet, which is a common point of wear and tear during climbing.
Troubleshooting
Gloves feel too tight or loose
Adjust the Velcro cuff for a more personalized fit. If the base fit is uncomfortable, consider trying a different size.
Reduced grip after use
Clean the palm and finger areas with a damp cloth to remove dirt and oils. Ensure the gloves are completely dry before next use.
Stitching coming undone
For minor fraying, carefully trim loose threads. If significant damage occurs, contact customer support.
Material feels stiff after washing
Ensure the gloves were air-dried and not exposed to excessive heat. Gentle flexing may help restore some suppleness.
