FAQs
Are these gloves suitable for very cold temperatures?
Yes, the Garvestone gloves are specifically designed for cold weather, featuring sherpa fleece and a waterproof, breathable lining for high insulation.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Adjust the drawcord at the cuff to achieve a snug yet comfortable fit. The gloves should not be too tight, as this can restrict circulation and reduce warmth.
Can I use these gloves for activities other than hiking?
While designed for hiking, their waterproof and insulated properties make them suitable for various cold-weather outdoor activities where hand protection is needed.
How should I clean my Garvestone gloves?
Hand wash in cool water with mild detergent, rinse well, and hang dry away from direct heat. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and tumble drying.
What makes these gloves waterproof and breathable?
They utilize Sealskinz' three-layer Aquasealz technology, which creates a waterproof barrier while allowing internal moisture (perspiration) to escape.
What material is the palm made of?
The palm is made of natural goatskin leather, providing durability and a grippy surface.
What should I do if the leather feels stiff?
Periodically condition the leather palm with a product specifically designed for leather care to maintain its flexibility and performance.
Troubleshooting
Gloves feel damp inside despite no external water.
This is likely due to perspiration. The breathable membrane should be working to wick moisture away. Ensure the drawcord is not too tight, which can impede airflow, and allow gloves to air dry thoroughly after use.
Reduced grip on the leather palm.
Clean the leather palm with a damp cloth to remove dirt or oils. If the leather feels dry, apply a small amount of a suitable leather conditioner and allow it to absorb fully.
Drawcord is difficult to adjust or tighten.
Check the drawcord and its housing for any debris or obstructions. Gently work the cord back and forth to free it up. Ensure the cord lock is functioning correctly.
