FAQs
Are these gloves waterproof?
The Hestra Bergvik Gloves are water-resistant due to the leather construction and insulation, but they are not fully waterproof. They are designed for cold weather protection rather than heavy precipitation.
What is Primaloft Gold insulation?
Primaloft Gold is a high-performance synthetic insulation known for its warmth, softness, breathability, and water-repellent properties, offering excellent thermal efficiency comparable to down.
How do I determine my glove size?
Typically, you measure the circumference of your hand at its widest point (excluding the thumb) and compare it to the brand's sizing chart. For Hestra, consult their specific sizing guide.
Can I machine wash these gloves?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather and the insulation. Hand clean with a damp cloth or use specific leather care products.
Do these gloves have touchscreen compatibility?
This specific model description does not mention touchscreen compatibility. For touchscreen use, look for gloves explicitly advertised with that feature.
What is the primary intended use for these gloves?
The Bergvik gloves are intended for general cold-weather use, offering warmth and durability for everyday activities, commuting, and light outdoor pursuits in cool to cold conditions.
How do I maintain the leather's condition?
Regularly clean with a damp cloth and periodically apply a suitable leather conditioner to keep the material supple and protected. Ensure they are dried naturally if they get wet.
Troubleshooting
Gloves feel too tight
Leather gloves often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially. If still too tight after some use, they may be the wrong size. Avoid stretching them significantly as this can damage the material.
Leather appears dry or stiff
Apply a small amount of specialized leather conditioner to restore suppleness. Ensure you are using a product suitable for the type of leather.
Water spots or stains on leather
Allow the gloves to dry naturally. For persistent marks, try a specialized leather cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Insulation feels less effective over time
Ensure the gloves are completely dry. Over time, oils from the hand can affect insulation. Proper care and occasional conditioning can help maintain performance.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: For minor dirt, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid submerging the leather gloves in water. For deeper cleaning, consider specialized leather cleaners.
- Drying: If gloves become wet, dry them naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, which can damage the leather. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Conditioning: Periodically treat the leather with a suitable leather conditioner to keep it supple and prevent cracking. Follow the product instructions for the conditioner.
