Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these gloves fully waterproof?

Yes, they feature a GORE-TEX membrane, which is durably waterproof and windproof.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

It is recommended to hand wash these gloves with a mild detergent to preserve the technical features and membrane integrity.

Are they warm enough for skiing?

They are well-suited for active skiing. If you are extremely sensitive to cold, you may want to wear a thin glove liner underneath.

Do these gloves come in different sizes?

Yes, the Trekmates Chamonix GTX range is available in several sizes. Please check the specific size guide for the 'M' (Medium) fit.

What is the tether loop for?

The tether loop allows you to secure the gloves to your jacket or wrist, ensuring you do not lose them when you take them off while on the trail.

Can I use these for ice climbing?

The grip and protection are excellent for general mountaineering, but specialized heavy-duty climbing gloves might offer more abrasion resistance for direct ice contact.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feeling damp inside

This is often caused by sweat rather than leaks. Ensure you are not wearing the gloves during excessively high-exertion activities if the ambient temperature is too warm, or consider wearing a thin moisture-wicking liner.

Touch screen not responding

Ensure the touch-sensitive patch on the index finger is clean and free of dirt or oils. Ensure the glove is pulled tight against the finger so the conductive material makes solid contact with the screen.

Water soaking into the outer fabric

If the outer fabric starts to 'wet out', the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating may need refreshing. Use a spray-on DWR treatment specifically designed for technical outdoor gear.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproofing provided by GORE-TEX
  • Breathable material prevents overheating during physical activity
  • Strong grip performance from the PU leather palm
  • Durable construction suitable for rugged terrain
  • Convenient features like touch-compatible fingers and tether loops

Cons

  • Not intended for extreme deep-freeze temperatures
  • May require occasional treatment to maintain water repellency on the outer fabric
  • Touch screen sensitivity may be limited compared to bare fingers

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your gloves, always follow the care label instructions. Because these utilize a GORE-TEX membrane, avoid using harsh detergents or fabric softeners, as these can clog the pores of the membrane and reduce breathability. Ideally, hand wash the gloves in cool water with a mild, technical-specific soap. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators, as extreme heat can damage the internal lining and adhesive tapes. Store the gloves in a cool, dry place and ensure the drawcord is loosened to prevent unnecessary tension on the cuff material while in storage.
