FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for extreme cold?

The PrimaLoft Gold Eco insulation provides excellent warmth, making them suitable for cold conditions. For extreme sub-zero temperatures or prolonged exposure, consider layering or specialized extreme weather gear.

How do I ensure the best fit?

Measure the circumference of your palm and the length of your hand. Compare these measurements to the brand's sizing chart. The leather Velcro adjuster can also be used to fine-tune the fit around the wrist.

Can I wash these gloves in a machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the X-Dry membrane, insulation, and leather components. Spot clean with a damp cloth and air dry.

What is X-Dry technology?

X-Dry is a proprietary technology that creates a waterproof and breathable barrier. It protects against external moisture while allowing internal perspiration to escape, keeping your hands dry and comfortable.

How often should I condition the leather palm?

Condition the leather palm every few months, or more frequently if the gloves are frequently exposed to water or harsh conditions, to maintain its softness and prevent cracking.

Will the touchscreen compatibility work with gloves on?

Yes, the gloves are designed with touchscreen-compatible fingertips. Ensure your fingers are positioned correctly on the screen for optimal responsiveness.

Troubleshooting

Gloves are not waterproof.

Ensure all seams are intact and the X-Dry technology is not compromised. Check the wrist closure for a secure fit to prevent water ingress.

Touchscreen functionality is not working.

Ensure fingertips are clean and dry. Try pressing more firmly or adjusting the angle of contact. The glove may require a brief break-in period for optimal touchscreen sensitivity.

Hands feel too warm during activity.

For high-exertion activities in milder temperatures, consider wearing lighter gloves or removing these during intense periods. The insulation is designed for significant warmth.

Leather palm feels stiff or dry.

Apply a small amount of leather conditioner to the palm and gently work it in. Allow it to absorb fully before use. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme heat or direct sunlight.
