Rukka Apollo 2.0 Gore-Tex Gloves - Black

Yes, the Gore-Tex technology provides excellent windproofing and waterproofing, and the insulation (if applicable, check product details) helps retain warmth. For extreme cold, consider adding liner gloves.

The gloves should fit snugly without being tight. Your fingers should reach the end of the glove fingers, and you should be able to close your hand comfortably around the handlebars. There should be no pressure points or restriction of movement.

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather and the Gore-Tex membrane. Hand wash gently with lukewarm water and mild soap.

It's recommended to condition the goatskin leather every few months, or whenever the leather appears dry, to maintain its suppleness and prevent cracking. Always use a product specifically designed for leather gloves.

It refers to a special material or treatment applied to the fingertips (usually index finger and thumb) of the gloves that allows them to interact with the capacitive touchscreens of modern electronic devices, like smartphones and GPS units.

Gore-Tex is a highly engineered membrane known for its balance of robust waterproofing, windproofing, and exceptional breathability, allowing moisture vapor (sweat) to escape while preventing liquid water from entering.

Allow for a break-in period of a few rides. Gently flex your hands while wearing the gloves to help the leather conform to your hand shape. Ensure the size is correct; a too-small glove will always feel stiff.

Ensure the screen area of the glove is clean and dry. Remove any dirt or moisture. If you use a screen protector, try operating the device without it to test compatibility. Ensure your device's screen is also clean.

Check for any tears or holes in the fabric or leather. Inspect the seams for any damage. If the waterproofing has degraded over time, consider reapplying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment specifically designed for waterproof gloves.

This can be due to sweat buildup if the breathability is overwhelmed, or if the exterior waterproofing has failed. Ensure the gloves are fully dried after each use. If the issue persists, the Gore-Tex membrane may need professional inspection or replacement.
