Troubleshooting
Gloves feel damp inside after use.
Ensure the inner lining is fully dry before storage. If used during intense activity, some internal moisture from sweat is normal; proper drying after washing is key.
Water appears to be seeping through.
Inspect the gloves for any tears or damage to the AQUASEALZ membrane. Clean the gloves as per care instructions and ensure they are completely dry before use.
Stiffening of the material after washing.
Avoid using harsh detergents or heat during drying. If stiffness occurs, try a gentle conditioning treatment specifically for outdoor gear, or re-wash and air dry carefully.
