FAQs
Are these gloves suitable for extreme cold?
They are designed for standard winter play and moderate sports. For extreme arctic temperatures, additional hand warmers might be needed.
Can these be machine washed?
Hand washing is recommended to preserve the waterproof coating and the integrity of the Thinsulate insulation.
Do they provide touchscreen compatibility?
No, these gloves are designed for grip and warmth, not for operating touchscreens.
How do I ensure the right fit?
The UK 5-6 size is typically for children in that age bracket. Measure the child's hand from the base of the palm to the tip of the middle finger to ensure adequate room.
What should I do if the goggle wipe gets dirty?
Rinse the wipe area gently with cool water and a mild soap, then allow it to air dry.
Troubleshooting
Gloves feel cold despite the insulation
Ensure the wrist strap is cinched tightly to prevent air drafts from entering the cuff.
Moisture inside the glove
Check that the gloves are not being submerged in water or used in conditions exceeding their waterproof rating; turn inside out and allow to air dry completely.
Velcro is losing its grip
Remove any lint, pet hair, or debris stuck in the hook-and-loop fasteners using a stiff brush or tweezers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Peter Storm gloves, proper care is essential. When putting them on, ensure the child's fingers are seated correctly in the individual stalls before tightening the Velcro wrist strap. For cleaning, hand wash in cool water with a mild detergent; avoid machine drying, as excessive heat can damage the waterproof membrane and the insulating fibers. Always air dry the gloves away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent material cracking. When storing for the season, clip the pair together and keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
