FAQs

Are these gloves waterproof?

The Montane Windjammer Lite Gloves are windproof and highly water-resistant due to the GORE-TEX INFINIUM WINDSTOPPER fabric, but they are not fully waterproof. They are designed to protect against wind and light moisture, not submersion or heavy rain.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the Montane sizing guide available on their website. Typically, you measure the circumference of your palm and the length of your hand.

Can I use these for winter climbing?

They are suitable for lighter winter activities like hiking and scrambling. For technical ice climbing or prolonged exposure to very cold, wet conditions, you might need a more robust, insulated, and waterproof glove.

What is the primary advantage of the WINDSTOPPER fabric?

The primary advantage is its combination of complete windproofness and high breathability, which prevents overheating and keeps hands comfortable during aerobic activities.

How durable is the goat leather palm?

Goat leather is known for its strength and suppleness, offering good abrasion resistance and grip. However, like all leather, it requires care to maintain its durability.

Are these gloves insulated?

They feature a microfleece backer for warmth, but they are not heavily insulated. They are designed to work with your body's heat and provide wind protection rather than significant standalone insulation.

Can I machine wash these gloves?

No, machine washing is not recommended. Hand washing in cool water with mild soap is the preferred method for cleaning.

Troubleshooting

Reduced touch screen responsiveness

Ensure the touch screen compatible areas of the gloves are clean and dry. Moisture or dirt can interfere with conductivity.

Hands feel cold in very low temperatures

These gloves are designed for wind protection and breathability; for extreme cold, consider layering with a thinner liner glove or opting for a more insulated glove.

Leather palm feels stiff after drying

Apply a specialized leather conditioner to the palm and fingers to restore suppleness. Ensure gloves were air-dried away from heat.

Glove cuff feels restrictive with jacket sleeve

Ensure the jacket cuff is not too bulky and that the low-profile cuff of the glove is positioned correctly underneath. Try adjusting the layers.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent wind protection.
  • Highly breathable to manage moisture.

  • Good dexterity for a windproof glove.
  • Touch screen compatible.
  • Lightweight design.

Cons

  • May not provide sufficient warmth for extreme cold.
  • Leather may require specific care.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These gloves are ready to use straight out of the package. No specific setup is required.

Compatibility:

  • Designed to be compatible with touch screen devices.
  • The low-profile cuff is designed to integrate smoothly with most jacket sleeves, preventing drafts.

Care:

  • Drying: Air dry away from direct heat sources or sunlight. Do not tumble dry.
  • Leather Care: Periodically condition the goat leather palm and fingers with a suitable leather balm to maintain suppleness and durability. Avoid prolonged exposure to water.
