FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for extreme cold?

Yes, the Matterhorn GTX Glove is designed with superior insulation and GORE-TEX + Gore Warm technology, making it highly suitable for extreme cold conditions.

How do I determine my correct glove size?

Measure the circumference of your palm and the length of your hand from the tip of your middle finger to your wrist. Compare these measurements to the brand's sizing chart, typically found on their website or product packaging. Ensure a snug but not tight fit for optimal warmth and dexterity.

Can I use these gloves for activities other than skiing?

Absolutely. These gloves are ideal for any cold-weather outdoor activity, including winter hiking, mountaineering, ice climbing, and general use in cold, wet environments.

How often should I reapply the DWR treatment?

Reapply the DWR treatment when water no longer beads on the surface of the fabric, typically after several washes or significant wear. Follow the instructions on the DWR product packaging.

What is the main difference between GORE-TEX and GORE-TEX + Gore Warm technology?

GORE-TEX provides durable waterproofing, windproofing, and breathability. GORE-TEX + Gore Warm technology specifically enhances warmth retention, making it ideal for colder conditions by providing longer-lasting warmth.

Are the gloves machine washable?

Yes, the gloves can be machine washed on a warm cycle with a liquid detergent, but fabric softeners and bleach should be avoided. Ensure thorough rinsing and tumble drying.

Troubleshooting

Gloves do not feel warm enough

Ensure the glove size is correct and not too tight, as this can restrict circulation. Verify that the wrist cinch and cuff adjuster are properly tightened to prevent cold air entry. Check that the insulation is not compressed.

Water seeping through the fabric

The GORE-TEX membrane may be compromised or the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish has worn off. Clean the gloves as per care instructions. If leakage persists after cleaning and ensuring the DWR is active, consider reapplication of a DWR treatment. If the issue is with the membrane itself, contact the retailer.

Touchscreen functionality is not working

Ensure fingertips are clean and dry. The touchscreen material may need to be lightly pressed on the screen. If the gloves are wet, dry them thoroughly. Some rugged screen protectors may reduce sensitivity.

Stiffness after washing

Tumble dry the gloves on a medium-high heat setting for 20 minutes to help restore suppleness and reactivate the water-repellent finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These gloves are ready to wear straight out of the packaging. Ensure the webbing cinch and cord adjuster are set to your preferred tightness for a secure fit.

Compatibility: The Matterhorn GTX Glove is designed for general cold-weather outdoor use. The touchscreen compatibility allows interaction with most capacitive touchscreens.

Care: To maintain the GORE-TEX performance and material integrity:

  1. Cleaning: Machine wash on a warm cycle (40°C/105°F) with a small amount of liquid detergent. Do NOT use powdered detergent, bleach, or fabric softeners.
  2. Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a medium-high heat setting for 20 minutes (or longer if needed). Alternatively, hang to dry, but finish with a 20-minute tumble dry to reactivate the water-repellent finish.
  4. Water-Repellency: If water no longer beads on the fabric surface, a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment can be reapplied after washing and drying, following the product's instructions. It is recommended to clean gloves before re-applying DWR.
