FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the 10K/10K membrane?
The 10K/10K membrane provides a balance of waterproofing (keeping external water out) and breathability (allowing internal moisture vapor from sweat to escape), ensuring your hands stay dry and comfortable.
Are these gloves suitable for extreme cold temperatures?
The gloves feature fleece lining and insulation for warmth. For extremely cold conditions, utilizing the heater-compatible pocket can provide an extra boost of warmth.
How do I ensure the best fit?
It is recommended to consult the sizing chart provided by Picture and measure your hand circumference and length. The adjustable cuffs also allow for fine-tuning the fit.
What does PFC-free DWR treatment mean?
PFC-free DWR means the Durable Water Repellent treatment used on the glove's outer fabric does not contain per- or polyfluorinated chemicals, which are considered more environmentally friendly.
Can I wash these gloves in a washing machine?
It is strongly recommended to hand wash the gloves with cold water and mild soap. Machine washing and drying can damage the waterproof membrane and insulation.
What is the purpose of the wrist leash?
The Picture wrist leash is a safety feature that attaches the gloves to your wrist, preventing you from losing them if you take them off during activities.
How often should I reapply the DWR treatment?
The frequency depends on usage and environmental conditions. Generally, when you notice water no longer beads up and rolls off the fabric surface, it's time to reapply a PFC-free DWR treatment.
Troubleshooting
Hands feel cold despite wearing gloves.
Ensure the cuffs are securely adjusted to prevent cold air entry. Check if the heater-compatible pocket was used if the conditions were extreme. If the insulation is compromised, consider if the gloves are still suitable for the temperature.
Gloves feel damp on the inside.
This could be due to high perspiration. The 10K/10K membrane is designed to breathe, but in very intense activity, some moisture can persist. Ensure the gloves are thoroughly dried after each use. If the issue persists after drying, the membrane might be compromised, and re-waterproofing might be needed.
Reduced grip from rubber palms.
Clean the rubber palms with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or oils that might be affecting the grip. Ensure the gloves are completely dry before use.
