FAQs
Are these gloves suitable for very young children?
Yes, they are designed for kids and offer excellent warmth. The mitten design is generally easier for younger children to put on themselves. Ensure the size is appropriate for a comfortable fit.
How do I choose the correct size?
Refer to the brand's sizing chart, which typically correlates hand measurements (e.g., palm width, length) to glove sizes. A proper fit is crucial for both comfort and warmth.
Can these gloves be machine washed?
It is recommended to hand wash these gloves gently in cool water. Machine washing, especially with harsh detergents or high spin cycles, can damage the R-TEX membrane and down insulation. Always refer to the care label for specific instructions.
What does 'R-TEX XT' mean?
R-TEX XT is Reusch's proprietary technology for a waterproof, windproof, and breathable membrane. 'XT' typically denotes an enhanced or extreme version, offering superior performance in harsh conditions.
How do I clean the down insulation if it gets dirty?
For minor dirt on the exterior, spot clean with a damp cloth. If a full wash is needed, follow the hand-wash instructions carefully. Ensure the down is thoroughly dried afterward, using a low-heat tumble dry with tennis balls if recommended by the care label to restore loft.
What is the benefit of the wrist leash?
The wrist leash (or loop) is a safety feature that attaches to the glove. It prevents the gloves from being accidentally lost, for example, if they are taken off on a ski lift or during a break.
Will these gloves be too warm for spring skiing?
These gloves are designed for extremely cold days. For milder spring conditions, they might be warmer than necessary. Consider lighter-weight gloves or using these only on cooler spring days.
Troubleshooting
Gloves feel damp inside after use.
Ensure the R-TEX membrane is functioning correctly. After use, open the closure and allow the gloves to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area, away from direct heat. Make sure the inner lining is fully dry before next use.
Reduced warmth over time.
The down insulation may have clumped. Gently tumble dry the gloves on a very low, no-heat setting with clean tennis balls to help re-fluff the down. Ensure they are completely dry afterward. Check care label for specific instructions.
Difficulty with closure.
Check the drawstring and closure area for any debris or ice that might be obstructing the mechanism. Gently clean the area if necessary.
Water seeps through the material.
The waterproof membrane may be compromised or require re-treatment. Ensure the gloves are clean and completely dry. Consider using a specialized water-repellent treatment for technical ski gloves, following the product's instructions carefully.

Care Instructions:
- Washing: Hand wash gently in cool water with a mild detergent. Do NOT use bleach or fabric softeners, as these can damage the R-TEX membrane and down insulation.
- Drying: Gently squeeze out excess water. Do NOT wring. Lay flat or hang to air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight. For down insulation, it's beneficial to periodically tumble dry on a very low, no-heat setting with clean tennis balls to help restore the down's loft and prevent clumping. Ensure the gloves are completely dry before storage.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place.
