FAQs
Are these gloves suitable for extreme cold?
Yes, the fleece lining and insulation provide significant warmth. For extreme conditions, the heater-compatible pocket allows for additional heat with a hand warmer.
What does '10K/10K membrane' mean?
It refers to the waterproof (10,000mm) and breathable (10,000g/m²/24h) rating of the glove's membrane, indicating good protection against water and efficient moisture vapor transfer.
Can I machine wash these gloves?
It is recommended to hand wash the gloves with cold water and mild soap. Avoid machine washing and do not use bleach.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Measure your hand circumference and length according to standard sizing charts, and ensure the adjustable cuff is tightened to create a snug, comfortable fit without restricting circulation.
What is the 'PFC-free DWR treatment'?
DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. 'PFC-free' means the treatment uses chemicals that are not perfluorinated, making it more environmentally friendly.
What material are the palms made of?
The palms are made with rubber to provide enhanced grip and control.
Are these gloves unisex?
Yes, the design is unisex, catering to both men and women.
Troubleshooting
Hands feel cold
Ensure the adjustable cuff is properly sealed. Consider using the heater-compatible pocket with a hand warmer on exceptionally cold days. Check that the insulation has not become compressed.
Gloves feel damp inside
This could be due to sweat or external moisture. Ensure the cuffs are sealed. Allow gloves to air dry completely after use. Check the integrity of the 10K/10K membrane.
Grip on poles is poor
Clean the rubber palms with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or residue that might be affecting traction. Ensure the gloves fit snugly to prevent excessive movement.
Adjustable cuff is difficult to use
Ensure there is no debris caught in the adjustment mechanism. Gently work the adjustment strap back and forth to free it up.
