FAQs
Are these gloves waterproof?

Are these suitable for snowboarding?
While designed with skiing in mind, the durable palm and thermal lining make them excellent for snowboarding as well.
How do I determine the right size for my child?
These gloves are categorized by age; the 7-8 size is typically standard for that age range, but you should compare hand measurements if your child is between sizes.
Can I tumble dry the gloves?
No, it is recommended to air dry them away from direct heat to protect the performance fabric and insulation.
Do the gloves offer any night safety features?
Yes, they include reflective branding to help improve visibility in low-light conditions.
Troubleshooting
Gloves feel cold despite insulation
Ensure the gloves are dry inside and verify that the elasticated wrist is fully closed to prevent cold air drafts.
Water soaking into the outer fabric
The water-repellent finish may have worn off; apply a specialized DWR spray treatment to restore the water-shedding properties.
Loss of grip on poles
Clean the palm and thumb area with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated dirt or ski wax residue.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These gloves are designed as a ready-to-wear accessory for kids aged 7-8 (in this specific size variant). To ensure long-term performance, avoid machine washing with harsh detergents, as this can degrade the water-repellent finish. Hand wash the gloves in cool water with a mild soap if they become soiled. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can damage the synthetic materials and the Thinsulate insulation. Ensure the elasticated wrist is adjusted correctly to keep the internal lining from bunching up, which maximizes comfort and dexterity.
