Product Information
Full details
The Montane Gloves are designed for adults seeking reliable hand protection against wind chill. Their primary benefit is exceptional warmth and wind resistance thanks to GORE WINDSTOPPER softshell technology and leather reinforcement. A potential caveat is that the leather palm, while durable, may require specific care to maintain its suppleness. These gloves offer a blend of technical materials and practical design for outdoor activities.

FAQs
Are these gloves fully waterproof?
No, these gloves are designed to be highly windproof and water-resistant, offering protection against wind chill and light moisture, but they are not fully waterproof for immersion or heavy rain.
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 hand. Ensure a snug fit for optimal performance.
Can I wash these gloves in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these gloves. Hand washing with cool water and mild soap is the preferred method to preserve the materials and their properties.
What is the main advantage of the GORE WINDSTOPPER material?
The GORE WINDSTOPPER material provides a durable barrier against wind, preventing wind chill and keeping your hands significantly warmer, while still allowing moisture vapor to escape for comfort.
How often should I condition the leather parts?
The frequency of conditioning depends on usage and climate. It's generally recommended to condition the leather every few months, or whenever it feels dry or stiff, especially after exposure to harsh weather.
What does 'non-textile animal origin' mean for the palm material?
This indicates that the material used for the palm and fingers is derived from an animal source, specifically goat leather in this case, which is not classified as a textile.
Troubleshooting
Gloves feel stiff after drying.
The leather may have dried out. Apply a small amount of leather conditioner to the palm and fingers and work it in gently. Allow it to absorb before wearing.
Touchscreen is not responding.
Ensure fingertips are clean and dry. The leather may be too thick for very sensitive screens, or the screen protector might interfere. Try adjusting the fit or pressing slightly firmer.
Seams feel uncomfortable or rub.
Ensure the correct size is being worn. If the issue persists, try wearing a thin liner glove underneath to create a smoother interface.
Loss of windproof effectiveness.
Check for any punctures or significant wear on the GORE WINDSTOPPER fabric. Ensure the cuff is properly sealed.
