Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for summer cycling?

No, these gloves are specifically designed for extreme cold weather conditions and feature significant insulation. They would likely be too warm for summer use.

How do I determine the correct size?

Measure the circumference of your palm and your middle finger length. Compare these measurements to the sizing chart provided by DexShell. A snug fit is recommended for optimal performance.

Can I wear liner gloves underneath?

Yes, you can wear thin liner gloves underneath for added warmth, provided they do not significantly affect the fit or dexterity within the Arendal gloves.

What does 'waterproof breathable' mean for these gloves?

It means the Porelle® membrane prevents external water (like rain or snow) from entering the glove while allowing perspiration (water vapor) from your hands to escape, keeping your hands dry from both the outside and the inside.

How durable is the reinforced palm?

The microfibre palm is designed for durability and grip, especially important for cycling. It offers good resistance to abrasion from handlebars and general wear and tear associated with regular use.

What is the difference between this model and other DexShell gloves?

The Arendal model is specifically engineered for winter gravel biking, featuring advanced insulation like PrimaLoft® Gold Cross Core and the high-performance Porelle® membrane for extreme conditions. Other models may focus on different activities or weather conditions.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel wet inside

Ensure the gloves are completely dry before wearing. If persistent, check for damage to the Porelle® membrane. Wash according to care instructions and air dry thoroughly.

Reduced touchscreen sensitivity

Ensure the touchscreen-compatible areas of the fingertips are clean and dry. For best results, try tapping rather than swiping. Sensitivity can vary between devices.

Loss of water repellency on back fabric

The DWR treatment may wear off over time. Consider reapplying a DWR treatment suitable for outdoor apparel after washing and drying.

Stiff palm after drying

Avoid drying near direct heat. If the palm feels stiff, gently flex the material. Ensure proper air drying in a well-ventilated area.
