FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for all weather conditions?

Yes, the grip technology is designed to perform well in various conditions, including wet weather. However, extreme conditions may still impact performance.

How do I know if I have the right size?

The gloves should fit snugly like a second skin without being uncomfortably tight. Measure your hand circumference and compare it with the brand's sizing chart if available. There should be no excessive looseness or bunching of material.

Can I machine wash these gloves?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and grip technology. Hand wash only in cold water.

What is the primary purpose of the padding?

The padding is primarily designed to provide protection to the hands during tackles, rucks, and general contact common in rugby.

How long does it typically take for the gloves to break in?

The break-in period can vary but usually takes a few training sessions for the material to soften and conform to your hand shape for optimal comfort and feel.

Are these gloves suitable for junior players?

These gloves are specifically designed for adults. Junior players may require gloves with a different sizing and potentially different protection levels.

Troubleshooting

Reduced grip after use

Ensure gloves are clean. Wash gently according to care instructions. Dirt and sweat can reduce grip effectiveness.

Gloves feel stiff

This is likely due to the break-in period. Continue wearing them during training sessions. Gently flex your hands while wearing them to help soften the material.

Padding feels uncomfortable

Ensure you have the correct size. If the padding is still uncomfortable after a break-in period, try wearing thinner liner gloves underneath.

Material feels clammy

While designed to be breathable, extreme conditions can still lead to moisture. Ensure the gloves are dried thoroughly after each use. Consider using a glove deodorizer if odor becomes an issue.
