FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for touchscreen devices?

No, these gloves are not specifically designed for touchscreen compatibility. Their construction focuses on waterproofing, warmth, and grip for outdoor activities.

How do I know if I have the right size?

The gloves should fit snugly without being uncomfortably tight. Your fingers should reach the end of the glove without excessive pressure, and the cuff should sit comfortably around your wrist. Refer to the brand's sizing guide for specific measurements.

Can I machine wash these gloves?

It is recommended to hand wash the gloves in cold water with mild soap. Machine washing is not advised as it can damage the waterproof membrane and material integrity.

What is the main advantage of the Merino Wool lining?

The Merino Wool lining provides excellent natural warmth, is soft against the skin, and offers superior moisture-wicking properties to keep your hands dry and comfortable.

How does Fusion Control benefit the glove?

Fusion Control is a bonding process that ensures the three essential layers – waterproof, insulation, and breathability – function cohesively as a single unit, maximizing performance and comfort.

What activities are these gloves best suited for?

These gloves are ideal for cold and wet weather outdoor activities such as cycling, skiing, hiking, and general cold-weather protection where waterproofing and warmth are essential.

How durable is the grip on the palm?

The polyurethane suede palm is designed for lasting grip and durability, providing reliable traction even in wet conditions.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel damp inside after use.

Ensure gloves are fully dry after washing and storage. Check for any damage to the waterproof membrane. For active use, consider if the conditions are exceeding the glove's breathability limit, though the Merino wool should help manage moisture.

Grip is reduced.

Clean the PU suede palm with a slightly damp cloth to remove dirt and oils. Avoid using harsh chemicals. Ensure the glove is fully dry.

Difficulty with fine motor tasks.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Gloves that are too tight can restrict dexterity. For extremely fine tasks, consider gloves with a lighter construction if dexterity is the absolute priority over extreme waterproofing.
