FAQs

Are these gloves truly waterproof or just water-resistant?

These gloves feature a 100% waterproof Aquasealz® membrane, meaning they are designed to keep your hands dry even when fully submerged or exposed to heavy rain for extended periods.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the SealSkinz sizing chart, typically found on the product packaging or the manufacturer's website. Measure the circumference of your hand at the widest point (excluding the thumb) and compare it to the chart.

Can I use these gloves for activities other than cycling?

While designed for cycling, their waterproof and warm properties make them suitable for other outdoor activities in wet and cold conditions, such as running, hiking, or general outdoor work.

How long will the touchscreen compatibility last?

The touchscreen compatibility is integrated into the fabric and should last for the typical lifespan of the gloves, provided the areas are kept clean and the gloves are cared for according to instructions.

What is the purpose of the suede wiper on the thumb?

The PU suede thumb wiper is designed for safely and effectively wiping away sweat, rain, or even a runny nose without scratching or damaging your eyewear or face.

Are these gloves insulated for cold weather?

Yes, while the primary focus is waterproofing, the materials and construction provide insulation suitable for cold weather cycling. The combination of waterproof, windproof, and lining helps keep hands warm.

Troubleshooting

Hands feel damp inside after a ride.

Ensure the gloves are fully dry before use. If the issue persists, check for potential damage to the waterproof membrane. Ensure you are not overheating; consider if the breathability is sufficient for your activity level.

Touchscreen functionality is inconsistent.

Ensure the touchscreen panels are clean and dry. Press firmly and directly onto the screen. Some screen protectors may interfere with functionality.

Gloves feel too tight or restrictive.

Check the sizing guide and ensure you have selected the correct size. For immediate relief, try gently stretching the gloves while damp (after washing) and allowing them to air dry.

Reduced grip on handlebars.

Clean the silicone grip areas on the palms with a damp cloth. Ensure the gloves are fully dry. Check for any contamination on the handlebars.
