Troubleshooting

Gloves feel too tight or too loose

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Refer to the sizing guide and try a different size if the fit is not optimal. A proper fit is crucial for both comfort and protection.

Reduced grip on certain surfaces

Clean the PU coating with a damp cloth if it is soiled. Note that while the PU coating enhances grip, extremely slippery or oily surfaces may still pose a challenge. Consider alternative gloves for specialized conditions.

Gloves show signs of wear or damage after use

Inspect the gloves thoroughly for cuts, abrasions, or tears. If damage is present, especially in critical areas like the palm or fingertips, discontinue use and replace the gloves to maintain safety standards.

Discomfort or irritation during prolonged wear

Ensure the gloves are the correct size and not too tight. Take short breaks if possible. If irritation persists, consider if the material is suitable for your skin type or if a different glove model with alternative lining would be more comfortable.
