FAQs

Are these gloves waterproof?

These gloves are designed for protection and comfort in various conditions but are not fully waterproof. They offer some resistance to light moisture, but prolonged exposure to heavy rain may result in water penetration.

What does EN 13594:2015 certification mean?

This certification indicates that the gloves have met specific European standards for protective gloves for motorcyclists, covering aspects like abrasion resistance, impact protection, and dexterity.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the brand's sizing chart, which typically involves measuring the circumference of your palm and the length of your middle finger. Ensure a snug but not overly tight fit.

Can I wash these gloves?

It is not recommended to machine wash or fully immerse these gloves in water, as it can damage the leather, Outlast lining, and the hand-waxed finish. Spot cleaning with a damp cloth is the preferred method.

How durable is the tattoo engraving?

The tattoo artwork is applied using laser engraving, which is a durable method. However, like all decorative elements, it can show wear over time with extensive use, contributing to the glove's vintage character.

What is the benefit of the 100% Outlast lining?

Outlast is a material that helps regulate skin temperature. It absorbs excess heat when you're hot and releases stored heat when you're cold, helping to maintain a comfortable temperature for your hands.

Troubleshooting

Touchscreen not responding

Ensure fingertips are clean and dry. Some screen protectors may reduce sensitivity. Try pressing slightly firmer or ensure full contact with the screen.

Gloves feel stiff or uncomfortable

Leather gloves often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase the duration. Applying a leather conditioner can also help soften the material.

Wax finish is uneven or fading

This is a natural characteristic of the hand-made wax finish. For an even appearance, consider a light reapplication of a suitable leather wax. Ensure it is compatible with the existing finish and follow application instructions carefully.

Velcro closure not securing properly

Check the Velcro for debris or lint that may be preventing a strong bond. Clean the Velcro surfaces gently with a brush or adhesive remover if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These gloves require no specific setup. Simply put them on and adjust the Velcro wrist closure for a snug and secure fit.

Compatibility: The primary compatibility feature is their touchscreen-enabled fingertips, allowing interaction with most capacitive touchscreens (smartphones, GPS devices, etc.). The design is broadly compatible with various motorcycle styles, particularly cruisers, choppers, and vintage-inspired bikes.

Care: To maintain the unique vintage look and the integrity of the leather and wax finish:

  1. Cleaning: Gently wipe the gloves with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or soaking the gloves in water.
  2. Conditioning: Periodically use a dedicated leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking. Apply sparingly to avoid compromising the wax finish.
  3. Wax Reapplication: If the wax finish wears significantly over time, specific leather waxes can be used to reapply and restore the vintage effect. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
  4. Storage: Store the gloves in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and material degradation.
