FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for activities other than skiing?

Yes, while designed as premier ski gloves, their waterproof, breathable, and warm features make them excellent for any cold-weather activity like snowboarding, winter hiking, or even shoveling snow.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the brand's sizing chart, typically available online or with the product packaging. Measure your hand circumference and length according to their guidelines for the best fit.

Can I wash these gloves in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the waterproof membrane, insulation, and leather. Hand wash gently with cold water and mild soap, then air dry.

What does 'breathable' mean in the context of these gloves?

Breathable means the fabric allows moisture vapor (like sweat) to escape from the inside of the glove, while still preventing liquid water from entering from the outside. This helps keep your hands dry and comfortable.

How long will the PrimaLoft Gold Insulation keep my hands warm?

PrimaLoft Gold Insulation is designed for extreme cold and provides excellent thermal efficiency. The duration your hands stay warm depends on ambient temperature, activity level, and individual circulation.

Is goatskin leather durable?

Yes, goatskin leather is known for its strength, flexibility, and natural durability, making it an excellent choice for the palm of performance gloves that require both grip and longevity.

What is the advantage of the elastic drawcord cuffs?

The elastic drawcords allow you to tighten the cuffs around your wrists or jacket sleeves, creating a secure seal that prevents snow, wind, and cold from entering the glove, enhancing overall warmth and protection.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel damp inside

This could be due to perspiration or a breach in the waterproof membrane. Ensure the cuffs are sealed correctly. If the issue persists, the waterproof membrane may be compromised, and it might be time to consider replacement or professional repair.

Reduced grip on the palm

Clean the goatskin leather palm with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or oils that may be affecting grip. If the leather feels dry, apply a small amount of leather conditioner suitable for gloves.

Elastic drawcord is loose or damaged

Check if the cord is simply untied or needs tightening. If the elastic is stretched or broken, it may require replacement. Contact customer support or a local outdoor gear repair specialist for assistance.

Clasp is difficult to use or broken

Ensure the clasps are aligned correctly before attempting to fasten them. If a clasp is damaged, it may need to be replaced by a professional or a suitable alternative fastening method can be used.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: These gloves are ready for immediate use upon purchase. Ensure they fit snugly but comfortably, allowing for full range of motion. Adjust the elastic drawcords on the cuffs for a secure fit that seals out snow and cold.

Compatibility: Designed as premier ski gloves, they are compatible with all winter sports equipment. The tactile goatskin leather palm ensures good grip on ski poles, goggles, and other gear.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: To maintain the performance of the Aquasealz™ membrane and the leather, hand wash gently with cold water and a mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing.
  • Drying: Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the waterproof membrane and leather. Instead, air dry the gloves naturally at room temperature, away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are completely dry before storing.
  • Leather Care: Periodically condition the goatskin leather palm with a suitable leather conditioner to keep it supple and prevent cracking. Test the conditioner on an inconspicuous area first.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use to prevent mildew and preserve material integrity.
