FAQs

Are these gloves truly waterproof, even in heavy rain?

Yes, the gloves feature Aquasealz technology, a three-layer waterproof and windproof membrane designed to keep hands completely dry in all wet conditions.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the brand's sizing chart, typically available on their website or product packaging. A proper fit is crucial for both comfort and performance, ensuring the anti-slip lining works effectively and dexterity is maintained.

Can I use these gloves for activities other than shooting?

Absolutely. They are ideal for hunting, photography, fishing, or any outdoor activity where you need dexterity, warmth, and waterproof protection in cool to mild conditions.

How should I clean the sheepskin palm?

Avoid machine washing. Spot clean the sheepskin palm with a damp cloth. For best results, allow the gloves to air dry naturally away from direct heat.

What is the benefit of the fold-back finger?

The fold-back finger design allows you to expose your fingertips for enhanced dexterity when needed, such as for precise tasks or operating sensitive equipment, before easily folding it back for protection.

Are these gloves warm enough for very cold weather?

These gloves are designed for all-weather performance and offer good insulation. For extreme cold conditions, consider layering or looking for specialized insulated winter gloves.

What materials are the gloves made from?

The outer layer is a blend of 92% polyester and 8% elastane, the palm is 100% sheepskin leather, and the lining is polyester and COOLMAX®.

Troubleshooting

Hands feel damp inside the gloves.

This could be due to perspiration. Ensure the gloves are not too tight, allowing for air circulation. If the dampness persists and is not from external water, check that the waterproof membrane is intact and not compromised.

Grip is reduced on the palm.

Ensure the sheepskin palm is clean and dry. For stubborn dirt, spot clean with a damp cloth. If the sheepskin feels stiff, it may benefit from occasional conditioning with a leather conditioner suitable for sheepskin, following product instructions.

Fold-back finger is difficult to secure.

Check that the securing mechanism (usually a small stud or Velcro) is free of debris and functioning correctly. Ensure the finger flap is aligned properly before securing.

Gloves have lost their waterproofness.

Inspect the gloves for any tears or damage to the waterproof membrane. Ensure you have followed the correct care instructions and have not used harsh detergents or heat, which can degrade the membrane.
