FAQs
What makes the Dryway+2.0 membrane effective?
Dryway+2.0 is a windproof and waterproof membrane that allows moisture vapor from the inside to escape while preventing external wind and rain from entering. Its performance is optimized by a difference in humidity between the inside and outside of the glove.
How do I ensure the best performance from the waterproof membrane?
The membrane works best when there is a humidity gradient. Avoid using excessive external heat sources like heated grips, as this can disrupt the moisture transfer process and potentially cause condensation inside the glove.
Can I use these gloves with my smartphone?
Yes, the gloves feature NUDUD Touch screen technology designed for operating smartphones and other touch-enabled devices without needing to remove the gloves.
What is the insulation level?
The gloves feature Innoborne insulation, with 180 gr./m² in the main part and 40 gr./m² in specific areas for effective warmth.
What kind of protection do these gloves offer?
They offer Level 1 knuckle protection and feature HI-ART reinforcements in the palm area for enhanced durability and abrasion resistance.
Are these gloves suitable for all seasons?
These gloves are specifically designed for winter conditions due to their warmth and waterproofing. They may be too warm for use in spring, summer, or early autumn.
How should I clean and care for my Tihola gloves?
Clean with a damp cloth and air dry naturally away from direct heat. For leather care, use a specialized leather conditioner after drying to maintain its condition.
Troubleshooting
Gloves feel damp inside after a ride.
Ensure the gloves are completely dry before wearing. If riding in very humid conditions or with heated grips, the membrane's performance might be affected. Allow for natural drying and consider riding without heated grips for a period to see if performance improves.
Touchscreen functionality is inconsistent.
Ensure the touchscreen area of the glove is clean and dry. Some screen protectors can interfere with touch sensitivity. Try cleaning the device screen and the glove tip.
Leather feels stiff after drying.
Apply a leather conditioner specifically designed for motorcycle gear. This will help restore suppleness and protect the leather.
Water is seeping through the glove.
Check for any damage to the membrane or seams. If damage is found, the gloves may need to be replaced. Ensure the outer material is clean, as heavy soiling can sometimes impede the membrane's breathability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These gloves require no special setup. They are designed for immediate use upon purchase.
Compatibility:
- The NUDUD Touch screen technology is designed to work with most standard touchscreen devices. Performance may vary with heavily textured screen protectors.
- The Dryway+ and Dryway+2.0 membranes rely on a difference in humidity. Using external heat sources like heated grips or seats may impact their effectiveness, potentially causing them to work in reverse (trapping moisture).
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Gently clean the gloves with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or solvents, which can damage the leather and membrane.
- Drying: Allow gloves to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers. Direct heat can cause the leather to stiffen and crack.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain the integrity of the materials.
