FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for activities other than cycling?

While designed for cycling, their waterproof, windproof, and insulated properties make them suitable for other cold-weather outdoor activities where hand warmth and protection are needed.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the GORE WEAR sizing chart and measure your hand circumference at the widest point. Ensure a snug but not tight fit for optimal performance and comfort.

Can I use these gloves in very wet conditions?

Yes, the GORE-TEX ePE membrane is durably waterproof, designed to keep your hands dry even in prolonged wet conditions.

How much insulation do these gloves offer?

They feature PrimaLoft Gold Cross Core insulation, which provides significant warmth without adding bulk, making them ideal for winter conditions.

Are the gloves machine washable?

Yes, they can be machine washed at 30°C (86°F) on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, tumble drying, and ironing.

What does 'fully conductive palm' mean?

It means the entire palm area is designed to interact with touchscreen devices, allowing you to operate your phone or GPS without removing the gloves.

How do I care for the reflective detailing?

The reflective detailing is integrated into the material. Standard washing instructions should preserve them. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive rubbing on the reflective areas.

Troubleshooting

Hands feel cold despite wearing gloves

Ensure the gloves are the correct size and fit snugly without restricting circulation. Check that the Velcro closure is secure to prevent drafts. For extreme cold, consider pairing with thin liner gloves.

Waterproofing seems compromised

Inspect gloves for any tears or damage to the GORE-TEX membrane or seams. Follow care instructions carefully; harsh detergents or improper drying can affect performance. Consider professional re-waterproofing if damage is minor.

Touchscreen functionality is unreliable

Ensure the conductive areas of the palms are clean and dry. Dirt or moisture can interfere with conductivity. Check that the glove is making good contact with the screen.

Velcro closure is losing its grip

Clean the Velcro strips by removing any lint or debris. A stiff brush can help. If the Velcro is worn out, it may need replacement.
