FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for very cold, sub-zero temperatures?

Yes, the Westfield gloves are designed for cold weather with their Aquasealz technology and insulation. However, for extreme sub-zero conditions, consider layering or complementing with hand warmers if needed.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the brand's sizing chart, typically found on their website or the product packaging. Measure the circumference of your palm and the length of your hand to find the best fit.

Can I wash these gloves in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather and waterproof membrane. Hand wash gently with a damp cloth and air dry.

What is 'Fusion Control' technology?

Fusion Control is a bonding process that integrates the waterproof, insulating, and breathable layers of the glove into a single, cohesive unit, ensuring optimal functionality and comfort.

How often should I condition the leather?

It's recommended to condition the leather every few months, or whenever the leather feels dry, especially after prolonged use in wet conditions. This helps maintain its suppleness and durability.

Will these gloves protect me from heavy rain?

Yes, the Aquasealz technology is specifically designed to provide full waterproof protection, keeping your hands dry even in heavy rain or wet snow.

What is the primary benefit of the goatskin leather exterior?

The goatskin leather provides a highly durable and grippy surface, enhancing the longevity of the gloves and offering a secure hold on various outdoor equipment, even when wet.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel damp inside after use.

Ensure gloves are completely dry before storing. If extensively wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from heat. The breathability of the Fusion Control technology may be overwhelmed by extreme moisture; ensure proper drying after each use.

Reduced grip on the palm.

Clean the palm area with a slightly damp cloth to remove any dirt or residue that might be affecting grip. If the leather feels dry, apply a specialized leather conditioner.

Drawcord adjustment is difficult.

Check the drawcord channel for any debris. Ensure the cord itself is not frayed or tangled. Gently work the adjustment mechanism.

Leather appears stiff or dry.

Apply a quality leather conditioner designed for outdoor gear. Follow the product instructions for application and allow it to absorb fully before next use.

Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your leather gloves:
