No, these gloves are not waterproof. They are made from Polartec Power Stretch Pro, which offers some resistance to wind and light moisture but is not designed for immersion or heavy rain.
These gloves are best suited for mild to cool conditions. For temperatures significantly below freezing, they are recommended as a liner glove worn inside a more insulated, waterproof outer glove.
The gloves should fit snugly without being constricting. They should allow for full finger movement and feel like a second skin. Check sizing guides provided by the retailer if available.
The conductive material is integrated into the fabric. With normal use and proper care, they should maintain functionality for the lifespan of the gloves. Excessive abrasion or improper washing could accelerate wear.
It is recommended to hand wash these gloves in cool water. Machine washing, especially on a hot cycle or with a vigorous spin, may damage the fabric and conductive elements.
Polartec Power Stretch Pro offers four-way stretch for excellent mobility and breathability, with a durable face fabric. Polartec Power Shield is typically designed for more wind resistance and water repellency, often with a slightly stiffer feel.
Ensure the conductive fingertips are clean and dry. Make sure they are making direct contact with the screen. Try wearing the gloves for a few minutes to allow them to warm up, as body heat can sometimes improve conductivity.
The Polartec Power Stretch Pro fabric offers significant stretch. If they feel tight, ensure you have selected the correct size. Allow a short break-in period for the fabric to adapt to your hand shape.
Clean the silicone grip zones with a damp cloth and mild soap, then rinse and allow to air dry. Dirt and oils can reduce the tackiness of the silicone.
Avoid washing with harsh detergents or fabric softeners. Ensure gloves are dried naturally and not exposed to excessive heat, which can degrade the elastane fibers.
Setup: These gloves require no setup. Simply put them on. Ensure the conductive fingertips are correctly positioned on your index finger and thumb for optimal touch-screen response.
Compatibility: The conductive fingertips are designed to work with most capacitive touch screens found on smartphones, tablets, and GPS devices. Performance may vary slightly depending on the specific device and screen protector used.
