Product Information
Full details
The Mountain Warehouse Snowproof Textured Palms Skiing Gloves are designed for adult women who need reliable warmth and grip while navigating the slopes. Featuring a soft fleece lining and a snowproof exterior, these gloves excel at providing essential insulation and comfort in cold, wintry conditions. While they are highly effective in packed snow, it is important to note that they are water-resistant rather than fully waterproof, making them best suited for light rain or brief periods of wet exposure rather than heavy, sustained precipitation.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these gloves fully waterproof?
No, they are water-resistant. They are treated with a DWR coating, which makes them ideal for light rain and packed snow, but they should not be submerged.
Can I wash these in a machine?
It is recommended to spot clean with a damp cloth to maintain the integrity of the insulation and the water-repellent coating.
What is the benefit of the textured palm?
The textured palm provides improved traction, making it easier to maintain a firm grip on ski poles or other equipment in slippery conditions.
Are they suitable for extreme sub-zero temperatures?
They feature insulation and a fleece lining to provide extra warmth, but comfort levels can vary based on individual circulation and activity levels.
How should I store these when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or crushed under heavy items, which could compress the insulation.
Troubleshooting
Moisture penetrating the fabric
The gloves are water-resistant, not waterproof. If exposed to heavy rain, ensure they are dried thoroughly before the next use; consider re-applying a DWR spray treatment to restore the water-beading properties.
Gloves feel cold
Ensure the stretch cuffs are tightened securely to prevent cold air infiltration. Also, check that your hands were dry before putting the gloves on.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your gloves last throughout the season, proper care is essential. Always adjust the stretch cuffs to a comfortable tightness once the gloves are on to prevent heat loss. If the gloves become damp from snow, hang them to dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators, as excessive heat can degrade the DWR coating. To clean, use a soft damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. If necessary, follow the care label instructions for hand washing. Avoid using harsh detergents or fabric softeners, as these can strip the water-repellent treatment from the fabric.
