FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for extreme cold?

Yes, they are designed for high wearing comfort in extreme conditions, featuring an extra warm fleece lining and wind-repellent properties.

How do I clean the Ziener Gabino ski gloves?

Hand wash gently with cold water and mild soap. Allow them to air dry completely at room temperature. Do not machine wash or use high heat.

What does 'PFC-free' mean for these gloves?

PFC-free means the water-repellent treatment used on the gloves does not contain perfluorinated chemicals, which are often harmful to the environment. It signifies a more sustainable approach to waterproofing.

Can I wear these gloves under my jacket?

Yes, the gloves feature slim cuffs designed to fit comfortably and neatly under ski or snowboard jacket sleeves.

Are these gloves waterproof or water-repellent?

The gloves have a water-repellent finish, meaning they can repel water and light moisture. They are not fully waterproof, so prolonged immersion in water may lead to saturation.

What is the main benefit of the fleece lining?

The exceptionally soft fleece lining provides excellent warmth and a comfortable feel against the skin, crucial for maintaining hand comfort during cold weather activities.

Do these gloves come in different colors?

While the specific product description focuses on black, Ziener often offers their Gabino models in various colors. Please check the product listing for available options.

Troubleshooting

Hands feel cold despite wearing gloves.

Ensure gloves are fully dry inside and out. Check if the Velcro strap is too tight, restricting circulation. Consider wearing thin liner gloves for added warmth in extreme conditions.

Water seeping through the material.

The water-repellent finish may need re-treatment. Clean the gloves according to care instructions and apply a PFC-free re-waterproofing spray suitable for skiwear.

Velcro closure not holding securely.

Clean the Velcro surfaces to remove any lint or debris. Ensure the strap is aligned correctly when fastening.

Gloves feel stiff after drying.

Avoid using high heat for drying. Gently flex the gloves to restore softness. If stiffness persists, a light treatment with a suitable leather conditioner (if applicable to specific parts) might help, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
