FAQs
What is the temperature range for the Thermoz2 gloves?
The Spatzwear Thermoz2 gloves are designed for deep winter use, providing optimal warmth between 5°C (41°F) and -3°C (27°F).
How do I clean my Thermoz2 gloves?
Hand wash in cool water with a mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly and hang to air dry. Avoid machine washing, tumble drying, and fabric softeners.
What is the difference between Thermoz2 and Thermoz XTRM?
The Thermoz2 is a deep winter glove suitable for 5°C to -3°C. The Thermoz XTRM offers ultimate warmth and is designed for even colder conditions than the Thermoz2.
Are the fold-out wind covers waterproof?
The fold-out wind covers offer windproof and water-resistant protection against light rain or spray, but they are not fully waterproof for prolonged heavy downpours.
Can I use my smartphone with these gloves on?
While designed for cycling grip, the material on the fingertips may not be optimized for touch-screen sensitivity. You might need to remove the gloves for precise smartphone operation.
How do the improved finger covers work?
The revised design allows one fold-out cover to now become two, offering more adaptable options and enhanced versatility as weather conditions change during a ride.
What does 'battle tested' mean for these gloves?
'Battle tested' means the gloves have been rigorously used and proven in demanding, competitive cycling races, such as those ridden by the Alpecin Deceuninck Pro cycling team in northern Europe.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to close.
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. If persistent, a small amount of graphite (pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant can be applied sparingly.
Hands feel cold despite wearing gloves.
Verify the wind covers are properly deployed for maximum windproof. Check if the temperature is below the recommended -3°C limit. Consider pairing with thinner liner gloves or upgrading to the Spatz Thermoz XTRM for colder conditions.
Gloves feel too bulky for dexterity.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The design incorporates insulation and features; for maximum dexterity in milder cold, consider other models. Ensure the wind covers are stowed away when not needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These gloves are ready to wear straight out of the packaging. Ensure the wrist zipper is fully closed before use for optimal warmth and wind protection. The fold-out wind covers can be deployed or stowed as needed.
Compatibility: Designed primarily for cycling, the cuff is intended to fit comfortably over or under cycling jersey sleeves. The tactile surfaces on the fingers and palms are designed for grip on handlebars and brake levers.
Care:
- Washing: Hand wash in cool water with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can degrade the materials.
- Drying: Do not tumble dry. Squeeze out excess water gently and hang to air dry away from direct heat sources.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when not in use.
