Gilbert Rugby Gloves - Black

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.
