Product Information

Full details

The Halvarssons Tihola Gloves are designed for adult male riders seeking reliable protection and warmth during winter touring. Their key benefit is a combination of waterproof, windproof, and insulated materials for maximum comfort in harsh weather, alongside robust abrasion resistance. A potential caveat is that the membrane's effectiveness relies on temperature and humidity differentials, and may be affected by external heat sources like heated grips.

FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for summer riding?

No, the Halvarssons Tihola Gloves are designed specifically for cold weather and winter conditions due to their significant insulation. They may be too warm for summer riding.

How do I determine the correct size?

Measure the circumference of your palm and the length of your middle finger. Refer to the Halvarssons sizing chart available on their official website or from authorized retailers to find the best fit.

What is the primary advantage of HI-ART reinforcements?

HI-ART is a proprietary material that provides maximum abrasion resistance and durability, significantly increasing the glove's ability to withstand tough conditions and protecting the most exposed areas.

Can I wash these gloves in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, membrane, and insulation. Hand wash gently using a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary, and always air dry.

What does 'Level 1' knuckle protection mean?

Level 1 certification indicates that the knuckle protection meets specific European safety standards for impact energy absorption in the event of a crash. It provides a baseline level of protection for the knuckles.

How does the Dryway+2.0 membrane work?

Dryway+2.0 is a wind and waterproof membrane that allows moisture vapor (sweat) to escape from the inside while preventing wind and rain from entering. Its effectiveness relies on a difference in humidity between the inside and outside of the glove.

Will these gloves work with heated grips?

While they offer excellent insulation, the Dryway+2.0 membrane's function can be reversed if an external heat source (like heated grips) is significantly hotter than the outside temperature, potentially reducing its breathability. However, the insulation still provides warmth.

Troubleshooting

Hands feel cold despite insulation.

Ensure gloves are fully dry. Check if the Dryway+2.0 membrane is functioning correctly (membrane performance relies on humidity difference). Avoid using external heat sources that can reverse membrane function. Consider if the ambient temperature is below the glove's effective range.

Water ingress despite waterproof claims.

Verify that all zippers and closures are fully sealed. Check for any damage to the Dryway+2.0 membrane or stitching. Ensure the gloves are not submerged in water for extended periods beyond their rated waterproofing.

Touchscreen technology not working.

Ensure the specific fingertip area is making firm contact with the screen. Clean the screen and the glove fingertip. Note that some screen protectors or device settings might affect performance.

Stiffness or reduced flexibility after use.

Leather parts may need conditioning. Apply a dedicated leather care product and work it into the material. Ensure gloves are dried properly after getting wet and not exposed to excessive heat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These gloves require no setup. Simply wear them. Ensure they are properly sized for optimal fit and dexterity.

Compatibility: The NUDUD Touchscreen Technology is designed to work with most capacitive touchscreens. Compatibility may vary with heavily polarized screens or certain glove liners.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or solvents.
  2. Drying: Air dry the gloves away from direct heat sources such as radiators or open flames. Do not tumble dry.
  3. Conditioning: Periodically treat the leather parts with a suitable leather conditioner to maintain suppleness and prevent drying out.
