Troubleshooting

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These gloves are ready for immediate use upon removal from the packaging. They are designed to fit as a standard large size. To maintain the structural integrity of the protective fibers, machine wash the gloves in cold water using a mild detergent and air dry whenever possible. Avoid using harsh chemicals like bleach, as these can compromise the abrasion resistance ratings. Ensure you check for signs of wear, such as fraying or thinning at the fingertips, to determine when a pair needs replacing.
