FAQs

Are these gloves waterproof?

The Alpinestars A-Dura Thermal Gloves are designed primarily for thermal protection against cold and wind. While they may offer some resistance to light moisture, they are not explicitly rated as waterproof.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the Alpinestars sizing guide for gloves, which typically involves measuring the circumference of your palm and the length of your hand. Ensure a snug but comfortable fit without restricting movement.

Can I wash these gloves in a washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these gloves. Hand washing with mild soap and cold water, followed by air drying, is the preferred method for care.

How does the touchscreen compatibility work?

The synthetic suede palm is treated or constructed to be conductive, allowing it to register input on capacitive touch screens, similar to a bare finger.

What material is the inner lining made of?

The inner lining is made of a soft, brushed fleece material, which provides insulation and comfort.

What is the purpose of the neoprene cuff?

The generous neoprene cuff provides extended coverage around the wrist, helping to create a seal that blocks out wind and cold, while also offering a comfortable fit.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel too tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Loosen the hook-and-loop wrist closure and try to flex your fingers and wrist to assess comfort. Consult the sizing chart if unsure.

Reduced touchscreen sensitivity

Ensure the synthetic suede palm is clean and dry. Dirt or moisture can interfere with conductivity. Gently wipe the screen area with a dry, soft cloth.

Hands still feel cold

Verify that the cuff is properly sealed against your jacket sleeve to prevent wind ingress. Ensure the gloves are the correct size; overly tight gloves can restrict circulation, leading to cold hands.
