FAQs

What activities are these gloves best suited for?

How should I clean my Kelling Gloves?

What materials are the gloves made from?
The outer layer is made of 92% polyester and 3% elastane. The palm is 100% polyester, and the inner layer is 100% polyester. The palm also features goatskin leather.

Can I use these gloves in very cold temperatures?
The insulation and waterproof features make them suitable for cold conditions, but performance can vary based on individual tolerance and activity level. For extreme cold, consider layering or thicker alternatives.
Is the fit true to size?
Fit can vary by individual. Refer to the brand's sizing chart for the most accurate measurements. The unisex design aims for a broad range of adult fits.
Troubleshooting
Gloves feel damp inside
Ensure gloves are completely dry before wearing. If the internal moisture persists after drying, the waterproof membrane may be compromised, or sweat is overwhelming breathability. Allow for adequate drying time between uses.
Reduced grip on palm
Clean the goatskin palm gently with a damp cloth to remove dirt or oils that may affect grip. Ensure the gloves are fully dry.
Stiffness after washing
Leather can stiffen if washed and dried improperly. Ensure you are hand washing with minimal detergent and allowing them to air dry slowly away from heat. If stiffness persists, a specialized leather conditioner (tested on an inconspicuous area first) might help, but avoid over-conditioning.
