FAQs

What is the Thermal Rating of these gloves?

These gloves have a Thermal Rating of 2, making them ideal for cooler days and general use in chilly conditions.

Can I machine wash these gloves?

It is recommended to hand wash the gloves in cold or lukewarm water. Machine washing and tumble drying can damage the materials and waterproofing.

How do I clean the leather palm?

For the leather palm, use a damp cloth for general cleaning. To maintain suppleness, apply a specialized leather conditioner after the gloves are fully dry, following the conditioner's instructions.

Are these gloves suitable for extreme cold?

With a Thermal Rating of 2, they are best suited for cooler temperatures. For prolonged exposure to extreme cold, consider gloves with a higher thermal rating or additional insulation.

What is the purpose of the PU suede patch on the thumb?

The PU suede patch serves as a wiper to clear moisture, snow, or fog from ski goggles or other eyewear.

How does the anti-slip liner technology work?

This technology secures the inner lining to the outer shell, preventing it from bunching or pulling out when you remove your hand, thus maintaining dexterity and ease of wear.

What materials are the gloves made from?

The construction includes a Shell (92% Polyester, 5% Neoprene, 3% Elastane), a Palm made of 100% Goatskin Leather, and an Inner lining of 100% Polyester.

Troubleshooting

Touchscreen not responding

Ensure the touchscreen pads on the thumb and index finger are clean and dry. Your fingers must make direct contact with the screen through the glove pads. Some very thick screen protectors may reduce sensitivity.

Gloves feel stiff after washing

This can happen with leather. Ensure you have followed the care instructions carefully. Apply a suitable leather conditioner to the palm area once the gloves are completely dry to restore suppleness.

Reduced waterproofing over time

Check for any damage to the membrane or seams. Clean the gloves thoroughly and ensure they are drying correctly. For significant performance degradation, consider a waterproofing treatment suitable for technical gloves.

Liner feels bunched or difficult to put on

Ensure the glove is completely dry before putting it on. The anti-slip liner technology is designed to prevent this, but proper drying and careful application are key.
