Product Information

Full details

The Rab Power Stretch Contact Grip Gloves are designed for adult males seeking everyday hand warmth and dexterity during cooler months. Their key benefit is the ability to use touch-screen devices thanks to conductive fingertips, while their low-profile design allows them to be worn as a standalone pair or as a liner. A potential caveat is their suitability primarily for mild chill, not extreme cold, as they are a lightweight option.

FAQs

Are these gloves waterproof?

No, these gloves are not waterproof. They are designed for warmth and dexterity in cool, dry conditions. They offer some resistance to light moisture but are not intended for heavy rain or snow.

What is Polartec® Power Stretch® Pro?

Polartec® Power Stretch® Pro is a highly breathable, four-way stretch fabric that provides warmth without weight. It is durable and features a smooth outer surface for abrasion resistance.

Can I use these gloves in freezing temperatures?

These are lightweight gloves best suited for mild to cool conditions. For prolonged exposure to freezing temperatures, consider using them as a liner under more insulated gloves.

How do the conductive fingertips work?

The fingertips have special conductive threads woven into the fabric. These threads mimic the electrical conductivity of human skin, allowing them to interact with touchscreens.

What is the weight of the gloves?

The gloves weigh approximately 60g (2.1oz), making them very lightweight and easy to carry.

Can these gloves be machine washed?

Hand washing is recommended to maintain the integrity of the fabric and conductive elements. Avoid machine washing and harsh detergents.

What is the intended use for these gloves?

They are designed for everyday use in cooler weather, offering warmth, grip, and touchscreen compatibility. They are also suitable as a liner glove for increased warmth.

Troubleshooting

Touchscreen not responding

Ensure the conductive areas on the index finger and thumb are clean and dry. Moisture can sometimes interfere with conductivity.

Gloves feel too tight or restrictive

The Polartec® Power Stretch® Pro fabric offers significant stretch. Ensure you have selected the correct size. Allow the gloves a short breaking-in period.

Reduced grip after washing

Ensure the silicone palm print is dry. Avoid using fabric softeners, which can affect the grip properties. Re-wash if necessary following care instructions.
