Product Information
Full details
The Portwest Insulated Fingerless Knit Glove in Black is designed for adults seeking warmth and dexterity in cold conditions. Its primary benefit is maintaining hand warmth while allowing for precise finger movement, though the fingerless design offers less protection than full gloves. Key features include a hard-wearing acrylic knit outer, a soft Insulatex lining for extra warmth and comfort, and a knitted cuff for a secure fit. It also features a knit gauge 9 for shape retention and a retail tag for presentation.

FAQs
Are these gloves suitable for extreme cold weather?
These gloves are designed for moderate cold and offer good warmth with their Insulatex lining. For extreme cold, full-fingered insulated gloves may provide better protection.
Can I use these gloves for heavy-duty work?
The acrylic knit outer is hard-wearing for general use, but these gloves do not offer protection against sharp objects or heavy impacts. They are best suited for tasks requiring dexterity rather than heavy-duty protection.
How do I clean the Portwest Insulated Fingerless Knit Gloves?
Hand wash in cool water with a mild detergent and lay flat to air dry away from direct heat. Avoid bleach, ironing, and dry cleaning.
What does 'knit gauge 9' mean?
Knit gauge refers to the density of the knit. A gauge of 9 indicates a finer knit, which contributes to the glove's shape retention and overall durability.
Are these gloves waterproof?
No, the acrylic knit material is not inherently waterproof. They are designed primarily for warmth and dexterity in dry, cold conditions.
Who are these gloves intended for?
These gloves are suitable for adults, unisex, who need to maintain dexterity while keeping their hands warm, such as for light outdoor tasks, commuting, or specific work environments.
Troubleshooting
Gloves feel too tight or too loose.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The knitted cuff should provide a snug fit without being constricting. If the fit is consistently poor, consider trying a different size or style.
Reduced warmth over time.
Ensure the Insulatex lining is clean and free from debris. Follow the care instructions for washing to maintain the lining's effectiveness. Over time, wear and tear may naturally reduce insulation.
Acrylic knit seems to be losing shape.
While the knit gauge 9 aids shape retention, frequent stretching or improper drying can affect this. Ensure gloves are dried flat and avoid excessive pulling or stretching when putting them on or taking them off.
