FAQs

What makes these gloves waterproof?

The gloves feature a Hydroshell waterproof membrane layer designed to prevent water from entering while allowing some moisture vapor to escape.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the Barts sizing chart for accurate measurements. It is recommended to measure the circumference of your palm and the length of your hand. Consider trying them on if possible, as fit can be personal.

Can these gloves be machine washed?

Hand washing is recommended to preserve the integrity of the waterproof membrane and the faux fur. Avoid using harsh detergents or bleach.

What is the purpose of the adjustable cord?

The adjustable cord allows you to cinch the glove opening tighter around your wrist or jacket sleeve, preventing snow from entering and keeping the gloves securely in place.

Are these gloves suitable for very cold weather (below freezing)?

Yes, the 5-layer construction with a heat-regulating layer provides significant warmth. For extremely low temperatures, pairing them with thin liner gloves can enhance insulation.

What material is the lining made of?

The lining is made of soft Bemberg material, which provides a comfortable feel against the skin.

How do I care for the faux fur trim?

Gently brush the faux fur after washing and drying to maintain its texture. Avoid applying heat directly to the faux fur.

Troubleshooting

Hands feel cold despite wearing gloves.

Ensure the gloves are the correct size and not too tight, as this can restrict circulation. Check that all layers are properly aligned and that the adjustable cord is secured. For extreme cold, consider wearing a thin liner glove underneath.

Gloves feel damp on the inside after use.

This could indicate the Hydroshell membrane is overwhelmed or that moisture from sweat is not escaping. Ensure the gloves are properly dried after each use. Avoid prolonged exposure to extremely wet conditions beyond their waterproof rating. Check for any damage to the membrane.

Faux fur trim appears matted.

Gently brush the faux fur with a soft-bristled brush or comb after the gloves are completely dry. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive heat when cleaning.
