FAQs
Can I use these in freezing temperatures?
The gloves are rated for temperatures down to 1°C. While they provide excellent wind protection, they may not be sufficient for sustained temperatures well below freezing.
Are the Glovz2 waterproof?
They are designed with wind-resistant and thermal properties but are not categorized as fully waterproof rain gloves.
How do I ensure I choose the right size?
The gloves utilize a 4-way stretch fabric for a snug, race-fit. Refer to the standard sizing guide for your palm circumference to ensure the best fit.
Will the E-touch fingertips wear off?
The E-touch functionality is integrated into the fabric weave. While it is highly durable, repeated heavy abrasion may eventually affect its sensitivity.
Can I wear these for mountain biking?
While designed primarily for road racing, the grip and dexterity make them suitable for XC mountain biking, provided the terrain does not require heavy abrasion resistance.
Troubleshooting
Touchscreen sensitivity is inconsistent
Ensure the glove is pulled tight against the fingertip; if the finger material is loose, the conductive contact may not register correctly.
Grip feels slippery on the handlebars
Clean the epoxy gel palm zones with a damp cloth to remove road grime or oil, which can accumulate during rides.
Cold air leaking through the cuffs
Verify that the extended cuff is positioned completely beneath the jacket sleeve and is not bunched up.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best results with your Spatzwear Glovz2, ensure the cuff is worn underneath your cycling jacket to create a seamless barrier against the elements. When using touchscreen devices, apply light, consistent pressure with the pad of the finger. Regarding care, the fleece lining and technical fabrics are sensitive to high heat; always machine wash on a delicate cycle with cold water. Avoid using harsh fabric softeners or bleach, as these can compromise the epoxy gel grip and the effectiveness of the wind-shell fabric. Air dry the gloves in a shaded area; never tumble dry, as extreme heat may damage the elastic properties of the material.
