FAQs
Are these gloves waterproof?
They are highly water-resistant and windproof, but they are not fully waterproof and may soak through in heavy, sustained rain.
Can I wash these in the washing machine?
Yes, wash them on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Do not use fabric softener.
Will they work with all touchscreen devices?
They are optimized for most capacitive touchscreens found on modern phones and GPS units.
Are these suitable for deep winter temperatures?
These are 'Mid' gloves; they are best for cool to moderate winter conditions, not extreme sub-zero arctic temperatures.
Does the palm padding interfere with grip?
No, the silicone and foam padding is specifically placed to enhance grip and comfort without adding bulk.
Troubleshooting
Touchscreen not responding on phone
Ensure the glove fingertips are clean and free of dirt or mud, as debris can interfere with capacitive touch sensors.
Gloves feel cold in extreme wind
Verify the cuff is properly seated over your sleeve to prevent cold air from entering through the wrist opening.
Loss of dexterity
Ensure you have the correct size; if the gloves are too tight, they can restrict blood flow and reduce finger movement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your gloves perform as expected, keep them clean to maintain the breathability of the Windstopper membrane. Wash them in a machine on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent, ideally inside a laundry bag to protect the fabric. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can clog the pores of the membrane and reduce water resistance. Always air dry the gloves away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, to prevent damage to the elastic components and the touchscreen-compatible patches. Ensure the snug cuff is pulled firmly over your base layer sleeves to create a draft-free seal.
