Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for extreme winter sports?

While these gloves offer excellent warmth and waterproofness for everyday cold and wet conditions, they are designed for general use. For extreme cold or high-intensity activities, a more specialized glove may be required.

How do I determine the right size?

Refer to the brand's sizing guide, typically available on their website or product packaging, which usually involves measuring your hand circumference.

Can I machine wash these gloves?

No, machine washing is not recommended. Hand wash only in cool water with a mild wool detergent and dry naturally.

What makes the boiled wool exterior special?

Boiled wool is a dense, highly insulative material that provides excellent warmth without adding excessive bulk. It also retains some thermal properties even when damp.

How long does the waterproofing last?

With proper care, the Aquasealz technology is designed for long-lasting waterproof performance. Regular cleaning and avoiding damage to the membrane will help maintain its effectiveness.

Can I use my smartphone with these gloves on?

Due to the natural materials and design, touchscreen compatibility is not guaranteed. For precise touchscreen use, you may need to remove the gloves.

Troubleshooting

Hands feel damp after use

Ensure the gloves are completely dry before wearing. If persistent, check that the waterproof membrane is intact and consider if the level of activity is exceeding the glove's breathability capacity.

Reduced grip on the palm

Clean the goatskin palm with a slightly damp cloth to remove any dirt or residue. Condition the leather if it feels dry.

Gloves feel stiff after drying

This can sometimes occur with boiled wool. Gently re-shape the gloves while damp and allow them to air dry. Conditioning the leather palm may also help soften the overall feel.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning the Exterior: Gently wipe the boiled wool exterior with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid harsh detergents.
