FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for very cold temperatures?

Yes, the exceptionally soft fleece lining provides excellent warmth, making them suitable for cold days and even under extreme conditions. For exceptionally low temperatures, consider pairing them with a liner glove.

How do I determine the correct size?

Measure the circumference of your hand at the widest point (excluding the thumb). Compare this measurement to the brand's sizing chart. Ensure a snug but not tight fit for optimal warmth and dexterity.

Are the materials environmentally friendly?

Yes, the Gabino gloves feature PFC-free impregnation, which is a more sustainable approach to water-repellency compared to traditional PFC treatments.

Can I machine wash these gloves?

It is recommended to hand wash the gloves with mild soap in lukewarm water. Avoid machine washing and harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials and affect their performance.

What is the main benefit of the slim cuffs?

The slim cuffs are designed for a comfortable fit under ski jacket sleeves, helping to prevent bulkiness and ensuring a secure seal against snow and cold air.

Are these gloves waterproof?

The gloves have a water-repellent finish, which is effective against light snow and moisture. They are not fully waterproof for submersion or heavy, prolonged exposure to wet conditions.

Troubleshooting

Hands feel cold despite wearing gloves.

Ensure the gloves are the correct size and not too tight, as this can restrict blood flow. Check that the cuffs are properly sealed under your jacket sleeves to prevent cold air entry. Consider wearing a thin liner glove for added warmth in extremely cold conditions.

Gloves are wet inside after use.

Allow the gloves to air dry completely at room temperature. Avoid using artificial heat sources. If the lining is saturated, it may take longer to dry. Ensure the water-repellent finish is still effective; reapply if necessary.

Velcro closure is not secure.

Clean the Velcro hook and loop surfaces by removing any lint or debris. Ensure the strap is aligned correctly when fastening.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Ziener Gabino gloves require no specific setup. Simply wear them. Ensure the size is appropriate for a comfortable fit, allowing for natural hand movement without being too tight, which could restrict circulation.

Compatibility: Designed with slim cuffs and a wide Velcro closure, these gloves are engineered to fit comfortably under the sleeves of most standard ski jackets. The design aims to prevent gaps where snow or cold air could enter.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Hand wash with mild soap in lukewarm water. Do not bleach.
  2. Drying: Air dry at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Impregnation: To maintain water-repellency over time, consider reapplying a PFC-free waterproofing treatment specifically designed for gloves or outdoor apparel.
