FAQs
Are these gloves suitable for heavy snow?
They are designed for general wet weather like rain and light snow, but they are not insulated for extreme deep-winter or arctic conditions.
Can I tumble dry the Acle gloves?
No, you must drip dry them. Tumble drying or placing them on a radiator will damage the waterproof membrane.
Are they truly waterproof?
Yes, they utilize the Aquasealz™ membrane, which is designed to be 100% waterproof while remaining breathable.
Can I use these for driving?
Yes, the S-Grip formation provides excellent handling and control, making them suitable for driving in wet conditions.
How do I choose the right size?
We recommend measuring your hand across the palm. The 'L' size is typically suited for larger hand widths, while 'S' and 'M' are better for smaller/medium builds.
Troubleshooting
Touchscreen not responding
Ensure the glove is pulled taut over your fingers and the screen is free of excessive moisture or debris.
Gloves feel damp inside
While the membrane is breathable, excessive sweating during high-intensity exercise may cause moisture buildup. Ensure you are not wearing them in conditions that are too warm.
Waterproofing seems less effective over time
Check if dirt or oils have built up on the fabric; a gentle wash at 30ºC can restore the breathable performance of the membrane.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These gloves are ready for immediate use upon purchase. To ensure the longevity of the waterproof membrane, follow these care instructions strictly:
- Washing: Machine wash at a temperature no higher than 30ºC.
- Drying: Always drip dry. Do not place them on radiators or near direct heat sources, as high heat can damage the membrane and affect the waterproof performance.
- Compatibility: These gloves are designed to be compatible with most capacitive touchscreen devices. If sensitivity is low, ensure the finger pad is clean and making direct contact with the screen.
