FAQs
Are these gloves suitable for very cold temperatures?
Yes, the 3M Thinsulate insulation is designed to provide warmth in cold conditions, making them suitable for typical winter activities.
How do I know if size 7-8 is the right fit?
This is a children's size UK 7-8. It's recommended to measure your child's hand length and width and compare it to the brand's sizing chart, if available, or try them on if possible.
Can these gloves be washed in a machine?
It is recommended to hand wash these gloves gently with cold water and mild detergent. Avoid machine washing and do not tumble dry.
What is the purpose of the goggle wipe?
The goggle wipe is a soft material patch on the glove, typically on the thumb or index finger, used to clear snow or moisture from ski or snowboard goggles.
How does the clip-lock system work?
The clip-lock system consists of two interlocking clips, one on each glove. When not in use, you can clip them together to keep the pair of gloves united and prevent loss.
Are these gloves suitable for everyday wear or just for snow sports?
While designed with snow sports in mind due to their waterproofing and insulation, they are also suitable for general cold-weather outdoor activities and everyday wear in winter.
What does 'breathable' mean in the context of these gloves?
Breathable means the fabric allows moisture vapor (like sweat) to escape from the inside of the glove, helping to keep hands dry and comfortable, rather than trapping moisture.
Troubleshooting
Gloves feel too tight or too loose.
Adjust the hook and loop Velcro closure for a more secure or relaxed fit. If the overall size is incorrect, consider exchanging for a different size if available.
Hands feel damp after use.
Ensure the gloves were fully dried before use. Check that the cuffs and closure are sealed properly to prevent snow ingress. Allow for some air circulation if hands tend to sweat heavily during intense activity.
Goggle wipe is not effective.
The goggle wipe is designed for light clearing of snow or moisture. For heavy condensation, standard cleaning methods for goggles may still be necessary.
Clip-lock has come undone.
Re-fasten the clip-lock mechanism. If the clip is damaged, ensure the gloves are stored together securely by another means.
