Product Information

Full details

These Husqvarna Functional Gloves are designed for forestry professionals seeking durable hand protection with added smartphone convenience. Their key benefit lies in the combination of tough, water-resistant goat leather and a touch-screen compatible index finger, allowing seamless device use without removal. A potential caveat is that while excellent for forestry, they may not be suitable for extremely cold or wet conditions requiring specialized insulation or waterproofing.

FAQs

What are these gloves best suited for?

These gloves are ideal for forestry work, landscaping, gardening, and general outdoor tasks requiring hand protection and dexterity. The touch screen feature is particularly useful for those who need to use their smartphone in the field.

Are these gloves waterproof?

The goat leather is naturally water-resistant, offering protection against light moisture and splashes. However, they are not fully waterproof and may not be suitable for prolonged submersion or heavy rain.

How do I determine my glove size?

Measure the circumference of your hand around the fullest part (excluding the thumb) and compare it to the sizing chart provided by Husqvarna. Sizes typically range from 7 (Small) to 12 (XX-Large).

Can I wash these gloves in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather and the glove's structure. Hand wash gently with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary, and air dry.

How does the touch screen functionality work?

The index finger knuckle is made with conductive material or designed to allow the natural electrical conductivity of your skin to interact with the capacitive touch screen of your device.

What does EN 388:2016 certification mean?

This certification indicates that the gloves have been tested and meet specific performance requirements for mechanical risks, such as abrasion, blade cut, tearing, and puncture resistance.

Troubleshooting

Touch screen not responding

Ensure the index finger knuckle area is clean and dry. Verify your device's screen is also clean. Test on a different touch screen device if possible.

Gloves feel stiff

This can occur after drying. Gently flex the gloves with your hands or wear them for a short period to break them in. Avoid excessive heat during drying.

Debris entering the glove

Ensure the knitted cuff is pulled up securely over your sleeve or wrist. Check if the size is appropriate; a glove that is too large may allow more space for debris.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable and long-lasting goat leather construction.
  • Convenient touch screen functionality on the index finger.
  • Comfortable fit with a knitted cuff that seals out debris.
  • Good protection against mechanical risks as per EN 388 standards.
  • Naturally water-resistant material suitable for various conditions.

Cons

  • May lack sufficient insulation for extreme cold weather.
  • Not fully waterproof, though resistant to light moisture.
  • Touch screen sensitivity can vary depending on the device and screen protector.
  • Requires proper sizing for optimal performance and comfort.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These gloves are ready to use out of the package. Ensure you select the correct size (7-12) for a comfortable and effective fit. A proper fit is crucial for dexterity and preventing the glove from shifting during use.

Compatibility: The touch screen functionality is designed to be compatible with most capacitive touch screens found on smartphones and tablets. Performance may vary based on the specific device and whether a screen protector is in use.

Care: To maintain the quality and longevity of your gloves:

  1. Cleaning: Gently wipe the leather with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or soaking the gloves.
  2. Drying: If the gloves become wet, air dry them naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or prolonged sunlight, which can dry out and damage the leather.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
