Troubleshooting

Gloves feel cold after extended use.

Ensure the gloves are properly fitted, and consider using a liner glove for added warmth. Check for any moisture build-up inside the gloves and allow them to dry completely.

Water is penetrating the gloves.

Check for any damage to the outer material or seams. Ensure the cuffs are properly sealed. Consider re-applying a water-repellent treatment if necessary.

Leather feels stiff or dry.

Apply a leather conditioner or balm to moisturize and soften the leather. Follow product instructions.

Difficulty gripping objects.

Make sure the gloves are the right size. If they are too large, you may have issues with grip. If the problem persists, use thinner gloves or consider gloves with more dexterity.
