FAQs
Are these gloves fully waterproof?
The leather outer is windproof and offers water resistance, but they are not fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may cause moisture to penetrate.
What size should I get?
Refer to the brand's sizing chart if available, or try to find reviews that discuss fit. Generally, gloves should be snug but not tight, allowing for some circulation.
How durable are the reinforced fingers?
The reinforcement is designed to add longevity to areas that experience significant wear, such as when gripping handlebars. They offer improved durability over standard stitching.
Can I wash these gloves in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather and insulation.
What type of insulation is used?
The gloves feature Thinsulate lining, known for its warmth and breathability.
Can these gloves be used for activities other than riding?
Yes, they are suitable for any outdoor activity in cold weather where hand warmth and protection are needed, including walking, hiking, or general winter wear.
Troubleshooting
Touchscreen not responding
Ensure the touchscreen pad is clean and dry. Try pressing slightly firmer or with a different part of your finger. Some device screen protectors may affect sensitivity.
Hands feel cold in very low temperatures
These gloves provide good insulation but may not be sufficient for extreme arctic conditions. Consider wearing a thin liner glove underneath for added warmth.
Leather appears dry or stiff
Apply a quality leather conditioner and gently massage it into the material. Allow it to absorb before wearing.
Stitching coming loose
For minor issues, a fabric glue or sewing kit may suffice. For significant damage, contact customer support.
