Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these gloves fully waterproof?

Yes, they feature X-Dry technology which provides a reliable waterproof barrier against rain and wet conditions.

Can I wash these in a machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it may damage the leather and the waterproof membrane.

Are these suitable for winter sports like skiing?

While waterproof, they lack heavy insulation, so they are better suited for autumn or spring conditions rather than extreme winter sports.

What material are the palms made of?

The palms are constructed from durable leather, which provides both protection and enhanced grip.

Do they work with smartphone screens?

These gloves are not optimized for touch-screen use; you will likely need to remove them to operate a smartphone.

How should I store these for the off-season?

Ensure they are fully clean and dry, then store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Troubleshooting

Water penetrating the glove after extended use

Check the leather palm for cracks or damage; re-treat with a leather conditioner to restore the water-repellent barrier.

Stiff leather after drying

Gently massage the leather and apply a small amount of leather conditioner to soften the fibers.

Loose fit at the wrist

Adjust the neoprene cuff closure system to create a tighter seal against the skin.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Sportsman Gloves maintain their integrity, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the leather palm clean with a damp cloth after use in mud or dirt. Avoid machine washing, as it can damage the leather and the waterproof membrane.
  2. Drying: Air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators or open fires, as excessive heat can cause the leather to shrink or crack.
  3. Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to the palm to prevent the material from drying out and losing its grip.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Ensure the gloves are completely dry before storing them for extended periods to prevent mildew.
