FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for extreme cold?

These gloves are designed for light and flexible winter protection against water and wind. For extreme cold, a more heavily insulated glove might be necessary.

How do I clean my Snickers 9578 gloves?

Hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent. Do not use bleach. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat.

What do the EN 388 and EN 511 certifications mean?

EN 388 certifies mechanical risks (like abrasion and tear), while EN 511 certifies protection against cold (convective, contact, and water penetration).

Can I use these gloves for heavy-duty tasks?

These gloves offer soft cushioning for knuckle protection and are water-resistant, but they are not primarily designed for heavy impact or highly abrasive tasks. For such jobs, gloves with enhanced impact protection and durability would be more appropriate.

How do I ensure the best fit?

Measure the circumference of your palm and the length of your hand. Refer to the Snickers sizing chart for the best match. The elastic wristband also helps to secure the fit.

Are the reflective elements durable?

The reflective yarn on the fingertips is designed for visibility. Regular use and washing can naturally cause wear over time. Cleaning the fingertips regularly can help maintain their effectiveness.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel tight or restrict movement.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the issue persists, the gloves may not be suitable for tasks requiring extreme fine motor skills.

Water seeps through seams.

Check seams for damage. While designed for water resistance, prolonged submersion or very high pressure may exceed their protective capabilities. Ensure no gaps exist around the wrist closure.

Reduced visibility from reflective fingertips.

Clean the fingertips with a damp cloth. If the reflective material is damaged or worn, consider replacing the gloves.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides effective protection against water and wind.
  • Offers good dexterity due to the thin lining.
  • Enhanced safety with reflective fingertips.
  • Comfortable fit with elastic wrist closure.
  • Certified for occupational safety standards.

Cons

  • May not be warm enough for extreme cold temperatures.
  • Primarily designed for water resistance, not heavy impact protection.
  • Durability may be a concern for very rough, abrasive tasks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These gloves require no setup. Simply put them on your hands.

Compatibility: Suitable for a wide range of manual tasks in outdoor or cold, damp environments. They are certified to EN 388 and EN 511 standards.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent. Do not bleach.
  • Drying: Air dry completely. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or prolonged exposure to sunlight, as this can degrade the materials.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
