Product Information

Full details

The Barts Basic Waterproof Skiing Gloves in Grey, size 12 years, are designed for children engaged in winter activities. They offer reliable protection against cold and wet conditions, a key benefit for young adventurers. A potential consideration is that while waterproof, extreme submersion or prolonged heavy rain may eventually test the membrane's limits. These gloves feature a 5-layer construction with a water-repellent outer, a synthetic heat-regulating layer, a Hydroshell waterproof membrane, and a soft Bemberg lining, all secured with an elastic wrist band for a snug fit.

FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for very young children?

These gloves are designed for kids and come in various sizes, including a size 12 years variant. Ensure you select the correct size for the child's age and hand size for optimal comfort and protection.

How do I know if the size 12 years is correct?

The '12 years' designation is a guideline. It's recommended to measure the child's hand (from wrist to fingertip and palm width) and compare it to a size chart if available, or try them on if possible, to ensure a proper fit.

Can these gloves be machine washed?

It is recommended to hand wash these gloves in cold water with a mild detergent to preserve the waterproof membrane and material integrity. Avoid machine washing and tumbling dry.

What does the 5-layer construction entail?

The 5-layer construction includes an outer water-repellent layer, a synthetic heat-regulating layer, the waterproof Hydroshell membrane, a soft Bemberg lining, and potentially an inner structure for glove integrity, all working together for protection and comfort.

Are these gloves insulated?

Yes, the gloves feature a synthetic heat-regulating layer which provides insulation to keep hands warm during winter activities.

What is Bemberg lining?

Bemberg is a soft, breathable fabric often made from cotton linter. In these gloves, it provides a comfortable and smooth feel against the skin.

What is the main advantage of the Hydroshell membrane?

The Hydroshell membrane is the core component responsible for making the gloves waterproof, ensuring that water and snow are kept out while allowing some vapor to escape.

Troubleshooting

Hands feel cold or wet.

Ensure gloves are fully dry before wearing. Check that the elastic wrist band is snug and preventing snow entry. If experiencing persistent cold, consider layering thinner liner gloves underneath (if space allows).

Gloves seem too tight or uncomfortable.

Verify that the correct size (12 years) has been selected. Try stretching the glove gently while damp. If they remain uncomfortable, consider a larger size or a different model.

Water repellency has decreased.

The water-repellent finish may wear off over time. Consider using a waterproofing spray specifically designed for technical fabrics after cleaning and drying.
