FAQs
Are these gloves suitable for extreme cold?
The gloves are designed with a 5-layer system for excellent warmth and heat regulation, making them suitable for typical winter conditions encountered during skiing and snowboarding. For extreme cold, consider layering with thinner liner gloves.
How do I know if I have the right size?
While specific sizing charts are not provided, try them on to ensure a comfortable fit. Your fingers should not feel cramped, and there should be some room for air circulation. The adjustable cord helps customize the fit around the wrist.
Can I machine wash these gloves?
No, machine washing is not recommended. Hand wash with cold water and mild soap, and air dry flat.
What does 'Hydroshell membrane' do?
The Hydroshell membrane is a waterproof layer within the glove construction that prevents water from entering while allowing some moisture vapor to escape, keeping your hands dry from both external moisture and sweat.
What is the main material used?
The gloves are primarily made from 90% Polyester and 10% Polyurethane, with a faux fur finish on the wrists and a Bemberg lining.
Are these gloves unisex?
These specific gloves are designed for women ('adult female' in attributes).
How do I maintain the faux fur trim?
After washing and drying, gently brush the faux fur with a soft brush to restore its fluffiness and appearance. Avoid heat.
Troubleshooting
Hands feel cold
Ensure the adjustable cord is tightened securely around the wrist to prevent drafts. Check that the gloves are fully dry before wearing.
Gloves feel wet inside
The waterproof membrane may be compromised or the gloves may not have dried completely after washing. Ensure proper drying and inspect for any damage to the membrane.
Faux fur looks matted
Gently brush the faux fur with a soft brush after the gloves are completely dry. Avoid machine washing or drying.
Fit is too loose
Tighten the adjustable cord at the wrist to achieve a snugger fit.
