Troubleshooting
Gloves feel too tight or restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the gloves are new, they may need a short break-in period. Check that the Velcro (if applicable on other models) is not overly tightened.
Reduced grip after getting wet
Allow the gloves to air dry completely. The suede and gel grip are optimized for dry conditions. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain.
Seams feel uncomfortable
