Product Information
Full details
The Oxford Deluxe Silk Gloves are designed for riders seeking a lightweight, low-profile base layer that provides warmth without the bulk of traditional winter gloves. Ideal for year-round commuters and touring cyclists who need moisture management and comfort, these gloves excel as an under-glove in cold weather. While they offer excellent skin-to-fabric comfort and natural wicking properties, users should note that they are not designed to be worn alone in extreme freezing conditions or as impact-protective gear.

FAQs
Can I use these gloves for touchscreen operation?
These gloves are not specifically designed with conductive material for touchscreens, so functionality may be limited or non-existent.
Are these gloves waterproof?
No, silk is a natural material and does not provide water resistance.
Can I wear these as standalone gloves?
While you can wear them alone in mild conditions, they provide no impact or abrasion protection and are intended primarily as a base layer.
How do I wash them?
Hand wash in cool water with a mild detergent and air dry flat.
Are they unisex?
Yes, the Oxford Deluxe Silk Gloves are designed for both men and women.
Will they keep my hands warm in snow?
They will add warmth as a liner, but they are not sufficient to protect against freezing temperatures on their own.
Troubleshooting
Gloves feel tight under outer gloves
Ensure your primary gloves have adequate room and that the silk gloves are pulled smooth over your fingers without bunching.
Fabric snagging or pilling
Avoid contact with sharp surfaces like exposed hook-and-loop (Velcro) fasteners on other riding gear, which can easily damage the silk fibers.
Loss of elasticity in the wrist
Avoid machine drying at high temperatures, as heat degrades the elasticized material in the cuff.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best results, ensure you select the correct size to maintain a snug fit; the 4-way stretch fabric should hug the hand without creating pressure points. To maintain the integrity of the silk fibers, it is recommended to hand wash these gloves in cool water using a gentle, silk-friendly detergent. Avoid using harsh chemical bleaches or aggressive mechanical agitators. Always air dry the gloves away from direct heat sources, such as radiators or intense sunlight, to prevent the fabric from becoming brittle or losing its elastic properties.
