FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for handling hot objects?

No, the Portwest A185 Duo-Therm Glove is designed for cold protection and is not rated for heat resistance. Handling hot objects could damage the glove and cause injury.

Can I machine wash these gloves?

It is recommended to hand wash the gloves with mild soap and cold water. Machine washing and tumble drying can damage the materials and reduce their protective properties.

What is the level of dexterity these gloves offer?

These gloves are rated Dexterity 5 according to EN ISO 21420:2020, which is the highest level, indicating good manual dexterity for most common tasks.

How do I know if I have the right size?

The glove should fit snugly but comfortably, without restricting movement. Ensure there are no large gaps, particularly around the fingers, and that the hand can flex freely. Refer to the sizing chart if available and consider trying them on if possible.

What does the 'double dipping' process refer to?

The 'double dipping' process refers to the method used to apply the latex coating, which creates an extra layer for enhanced liquid repellency and durability.

Are these gloves waterproof?

The gloves offer maximum liquid repellency due to the double-dipped coating, which is effective against splashes and moderate moisture. However, they are not fully waterproof for prolonged submersion.

What specific cold temperatures are these gloves rated for?

The gloves feature a warm 7-gauge acrylic liner for protection against extreme cold. Specific temperature ratings are not provided beyond general 'extreme cold' protection, but they are designed to maintain hand warmth in harsh winter conditions.

Troubleshooting

Hands still feel cold

Ensure gloves are fully dry. Check that the correct size is being worn for an optimal fit without gaps. For extreme conditions, consider layering with a thinner liner glove if space permits.

Reduced grip after getting wet

The glove's liquid repellency is designed to keep the outer layer dry, but prolonged submersion can affect grip. Dry the gloves thoroughly as per care instructions. The crinkle latex grip is most effective when the glove surface is clean and dry.

Gloves feel stiff

New gloves may have a slight stiffness. Repeated use and proper care (avoiding excessive heat when drying) will soften the materials. Ensure they are not over-dried.

Lint transfer to work surface

While designed for low linting, some minimal shedding may occur initially. Washing the gloves before first use can help reduce initial lint. Ensure the 7-gauge acrylic liner is fully intact.
