FAQs

What age group are these gloves suitable for?

These gloves are designed for children ('kids' age group) and are suitable for a range of outdoor activities in cooler weather.

Can children use their phones with these gloves on?

Yes, the gloves feature fully conductive palm, finger, and thumb panels, making them compatible with most touchscreen devices.

How warm are these gloves?

The gloves provide warmth through a combination of stretch jersey fabric, a wind-resistant quilted overlay with 60gm/m2 hollowfibre insulation, and a microfleece lining on the back of the hand and thumb. They are effective against windchill and suitable for frosty mornings and low-level hill walking.

Are these gloves waterproof?

No, the gloves are not waterproof. They are designed to be wind-resistant and quick-drying, making them suitable for dry or slightly damp conditions. For heavy rain or snow, waterproof gloves are recommended.

What material are the gloves made of?

The gloves are primarily made of 95% Polyamide and 5% Elastane, with a polyester blend for the quilted sections and lining. They feature a non-slip silicone print on the palm and fingers.

How should I clean the gloves?

Hand wash the gloves in cool water with a mild detergent and rinse thoroughly. Do not bleach, iron, or tumble dry. Allow them to air dry flat away from direct heat.

Are these gloves suitable for very cold winter conditions?

While they offer good warmth for frosty conditions and windchill, they are best suited for mild to moderately cold weather. For extreme cold or activities like skiing, a more heavily insulated and waterproof glove would be necessary.

Troubleshooting

Touchscreen not responding

Ensure the conductive panels on the fingers, thumb, and palm are clean and dry. Static electricity can sometimes interfere; try rubbing the gloves together briefly. Check that the screen protector on the device is not too thick.

Gloves feel too tight

The gloves are designed for a close fit for dexterity. If they are uncomfortably tight, ensure you have selected the correct size. If the size is correct, the material may offer slight stretching with wear, but do not force them.

Reduced grip effectiveness

Clean the silicone grip areas on the palm and fingers with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or oils that may have accumulated. Avoid using harsh chemicals.

Hands feel cold

These gloves are best suited for mild to moderately cold conditions and windchill. For extreme cold or prolonged exposure to snow, consider layering with a thinner liner glove or using a heavier, waterproof glove.

Setup: These gloves require no setup; they are ready to wear straight out of the packaging.

  • Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly.
  • Drying: Do not bleach, iron, or tumble dry. Dry flat away from direct heat or sunlight to maintain the fabric's integrity and the silicone grip.
