FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for heavy rain?

The WINDSTOPPER® fabric offers windproof and water-resistant properties, but these gloves are not fully waterproof. They are best suited for dry or moderately wet conditions where wind is the primary concern.

Can I wear these gloves for very cold winter activities like ski touring?

These are 'Lite' gloves, optimized for breathability and dexterity. For prolonged exposure to sub-zero temperatures or high-altitude winter conditions, heavier insulated gloves would be more appropriate.

How do I determine my correct glove size?

Refer to the brand's sizing chart, typically measured by hand circumference or length. Ensure a snug but not constricting fit for optimal dexterity and warmth.

How often should I condition the leather palms?

Conditioning frequency depends on usage and environmental conditions. If the leather feels dry or stiff, or after significant use in dry environments, apply conditioner. Typically, once or twice a season might suffice for moderate use.

What is the main advantage of the recycled micro grid fleece backer?

The fleece backer provides insulation by trapping warm air, while its grid structure enhances breathability, allowing moisture vapor to escape efficiently during high-exertion activities.

Are the gloves machine washable?

It is recommended to hand wash these gloves gently in cool water to preserve the material integrity and performance of the WINDSTOPPER® membrane and leather. Avoid machine washing and tumble drying.

Troubleshooting

Reduced touch screen sensitivity

Ensure fingertips are clean and dry. If the gloves are new, the sensitivity may increase with use. For older gloves, check if the leather has dried out and consider light conditioning.

Hands feel cold in very low temperatures

These gloves are designed for wind protection and moderate cold. For extreme cold, consider using them as an outer layer over thinner liner gloves.

Stiff leather palm after washing

Apply a small amount of specialized leather conditioner to the palm and finger areas after the gloves have fully dried. Work it in gently and allow it to absorb.

Loss of grip on leather palm

Clean the leather palm with a slightly damp cloth to remove any dirt or residue that might be affecting grip. Ensure the leather is properly conditioned.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent windproof protection for exposed conditions.
  • Highly breathable to prevent overheating during activity.
  • Durable goat leather palm and fingers provide reliable grip.
  • Anatomically pre-curved fingers enhance dexterity and comfort.
  • Touch screen compatible for convenient device use.

Cons

  • Leather palm may require specific cleaning and conditioning.
  • Might be less insulated than heavy-duty winter gloves.
  • The 'lite' designation suggests limited warmth in extreme cold.
  • Color may show dirt more readily than lighter options.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Montane Windjammer Lite Gloves require no setup. Simply put them on to use.

Compatibility: These gloves are compatible with most touch screen devices (smartphones, GPS units, cameras) due to the integrated touch screen technology on the fingertips.

Care Instructions:

  • Leather Care: To maintain the suppleness and performance of the goat leather palms, occasional conditioning with a suitable leather care product is recommended, especially after exposure to moisture.
  • Washing: Hand wash gently in cool water with a mild detergent. Do not use harsh chemicals, bleach, or fabric softeners. Rinse thoroughly and gently squeeze out excess water.
  • Drying: Dry the gloves naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or prolonged sunlight. Do not tumble dry.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
