FAQs
Are these gloves suitable for very cold, icy conditions?
These gloves offer good warmth with 3M Thinsulate insulation and waterproofing, making them suitable for typical winter conditions. For extreme sub-zero temperatures or prolonged exposure in icy environments, additional layering or specialized extreme-weather gloves might be necessary.
How do I ensure I'm buying the correct size?
The size 3-4 refers to a child's age group. It's recommended to measure your child's hand, from the tip of their middle finger to the base of their palm, and compare it to the brand's sizing chart if available. A snug fit is important for warmth and dexterity.
Can the gloves be machine washed?
It is not recommended to machine wash these gloves. Hand washing with cold water and mild soap is the preferred method to preserve the waterproof and insulating properties.
What is the purpose of the goggle wipe?
The goggle wipe is a soft patch, typically on the thumb or index finger, designed to gently clear snow, moisture, or smudges from ski or snow goggles without scratching the lens.
How do I prevent losing one glove?
Each glove features a clip-lock system. When not in use, fasten the gloves together using these clips to keep the pair secure and prevent accidental loss.
Are these gloves suitable for skiing?
Yes, the waterproof and insulated features, along with the grippy palm and goggle wipe, make these gloves suitable for recreational skiing and snowboarding for children.
Troubleshooting
Gloves feel damp inside after use.
Ensure the gloves are fully dried after each use. Check that the elastic cuffs are snug to prevent snow entry. If the dampness persists, the waterproof membrane might be compromised; consider replacement.
Thumb or finger is too stiff for the goggle wipe.
The goggle wipe material may become less flexible when very cold. Gentle flexing with hand warmth should restore pliability. Ensure the wipe material itself is clean.
Velcro closure is not holding securely.
Clean the Velcro strips of any lint, snow, or debris. Ensure the hook and loop sides are properly aligned when fastening.
Clip-lock fastener is difficult to use.
Ensure both gloves are properly aligned before clipping. If stiff, gently flex the clip mechanism. Keep the clips clean from dirt or ice.
