FAQs
Are these gloves waterproof?
No, the Rab Power Stretch Contact Grip gloves are not waterproof. They are designed for wind resistance and breathability, not for wet conditions. For waterproof protection, consider a separate outer shell glove.
How warm are these gloves?
These gloves offer lightweight warmth suitable for cool to mild conditions. They are built for dexterity and are not intended as heavy-duty insulated gloves for extreme cold.
Can I wash these gloves in a washing machine?
Yes, you can machine wash them on a cold, gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softener and do not tumble dry.
How do the touchscreen fingertips work?
The gloves have a special conductive material woven into the fabric on the index finger and thumb tips. This material allows the glove to conduct the small electrical signal from your finger to the touchscreen, mimicking direct contact.
What is Polartec® Wind Pro® fabric?
Polartec® Wind Pro® is a high-performance fleece fabric that offers significantly better wind resistance than standard fleece while maintaining excellent breathability and four-way stretch.
Can these be used as liner gloves?
Yes, their lightweight design and reduced cuff volume make them ideal for use as liner gloves inside a larger, insulated, or waterproof shell glove.
What is the main benefit of the palm grip?
The silicone grip zone on the palm provides enhanced traction and a secure hold on objects, preventing slippage whether you are holding a phone, a camera, or trekking pole.
Troubleshooting
Touchscreen not responding
Ensure fingertips are clean and dry. For best results, press firmly and directly on the screen.
Gloves feel too loose
Check that the correct size has been selected. The snug fit is important for dexterity and touchscreen function.
Reduced grip effectiveness
Clean the silicone grip zones on the palm with a damp cloth and allow to air dry. Oils and dirt can reduce grip.
