FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for heavy-duty digging?

While durable, the Felco 701 gloves are primarily designed for precision work. For heavy-duty digging or tasks involving excessive soil contact, consider gloves with a more robust coating or different material.

Can I use these gloves in wet conditions?

The nitrile coating offers some resistance to moisture, but the gloves are not fully waterproof. They provide an excellent grip even when slightly damp, but prolonged submersion or heavy rain may compromise performance and material integrity.

How do I determine the right size?

Refer to the product's sizing chart, typically based on hand measurements like palm circumference and length. A snug but comfortable fit is recommended for optimal dexterity and grip.

What does '13-gauge' refer to?

The 'gauge' refers to the thickness of the weave. A 13-gauge knit indicates a fine weave, meaning more stitches per inch, resulting in a denser, tighter fabric that enhances cut resistance and durability.

How often should I replace my Felco 701 gloves?

Glove lifespan depends on usage intensity and care. Inspect regularly for wear and tear. Replace when you notice significant thinning, cuts, holes, or a loss of grip.

Are these gloves machine washable?

No, Felco 701 gloves are not machine washable. Hand washing with mild soap and cold water is recommended to preserve the material's properties.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel too tight or too loose

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Refer to sizing guides if available. A proper fit is crucial for both comfort and performance.

Reduced grip after prolonged use or exposure to moisture

Clean the gloves according to care instructions. Ensure they are completely dry before use. Excessive moisture can temporarily affect the nitrile coating's grip.

Fibers snagging on sharp objects

While the HPPE fiber is cut-resistant, extremely sharp or jagged edges can still snag. Exercise caution and replace gloves if significant fiber damage occurs.

Skin irritation

Ensure the gloves are clean and dry. If irritation persists, consider wearing a thin liner glove underneath or consult a healthcare professional.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These gloves require no setup. Simply select the correct size for a snug, comfortable fit. Ensure the elastic wristband sits comfortably to prevent slippage.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Hand wash with mild soap and cold water. Avoid using harsh detergents or bleach, as they can degrade the HPPE fiber and nitrile coating.
  • Drying: Air dry completely away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not tumble dry, as high heat can damage the materials.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the fabric and coating.
  • Inspection: Regularly inspect gloves for signs of wear, such as tears, excessive thinning, or peeling of the coating. Replace if significant damage is observed.
