Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your gloves perform at their best, secure the hook-and-loop closure so the cuff fits snugly against your wrist. If the gloves become wet, avoid drying them near direct heat sources like campfires or radiators, as this can cause the leather to crack or harden; instead, air dry them in a shaded, ventilated area. For long-term maintenance, keep the leather supple by occasionally applying a leather conditioner. When transitioning between climbing pitches, use the integrated eyelet to attach the gloves to your harness, ensuring they remain accessible but out of the way.
