FAQs
Are these gloves suitable for very young children?
These gloves are specifically sized for children, with the 'Size 8' variant tailored for an approximate UK age of 8. Please check the size guide for precise measurements if available.
Can these gloves be machine washed?
It is recommended to hand wash these gloves with cold water and mild soap. Machine washing and high heat drying can damage the waterproof and breathable properties.
How do I know if I've ordered the correct size?
The size '8' refers to a UK children's size. It's advisable to measure your child's hand circumference and length and compare it with the brand's specific sizing chart, if provided, for the most accurate fit.
Are the reflective elements durable?
The gloves feature reflective fabric and a reflective area on the back of the hand for increased visibility. While designed for durability, proper care (avoiding harsh washing and high heat) will prolong their effectiveness.
What is the primary benefit of the softshell material?
The softshell upper hand provides a balance of warmth, breathability, and windproof protection, ensuring comfort without overheating during active use.
How waterproof are these gloves?
The gloves offer 100% waterproof protection, meaning they are designed to keep hands completely dry even in wet conditions like rain or snow.
Troubleshooting
Hands still feel cold or wet.
Ensure the gloves are the correct size and fully sealed at the wrist. Check for any damage to the waterproof membrane. For extreme cold, consider layering thin liner gloves (not included).
Gloves are difficult to put on.
Ensure the child's hands are dry. Some resistance is normal due to the waterproof nature. Gently pull the cuff to open the glove before inserting the hand.
Reflective elements are peeling.
Avoid excessive heat during drying and refrain from using harsh detergents. If peeling occurs, gently clean the area and avoid scrubbing.
