FAQs

What is the primary advantage of the GORE-TEX® insert?

The GORE-TEX® insert provides a waterproof barrier to keep your hands dry from snow and moisture, while also being breathable to allow sweat vapor to escape, ensuring comfort.

How much insulation do these gloves have?

They feature 170g of PrimaLoft® Gold insulation on the back of the hand and 60g on the palm for a balance of warmth and dexterity.

Are these gloves suitable for extreme cold?

The recommended temperature range is -17 to -1 °C (0 to 30 °F). For conditions colder than -17°C, consider additional layering or a more heavily insulated glove.

How should I clean my Legend GORE-TEX Gloves?

Wipe gently with a damp cloth. For tougher grime, use a specialized leather cleaner sparingly. Do not machine wash or soak.

What makes the fit special?

The gloves feature a premium fit with 3D articulated patterning, meaning they are pre-shaped to match the natural curve of your hand for enhanced dexterity and grip.

What is the purpose of the neoprene cuff?

The low-profile neoprene cuff provides a warm, secure closure that fits neatly under jacket sleeves, helping to keep snow out and warmth in.

Can I use these gloves for activities other than skiing?

While designed for skiing, their warmth, waterproofing, and dexterity make them suitable for other cold-weather activities like snowboarding, snowshoeing, or even general winter use.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel too tight or restrictive

Ensure you have the correct size. Leather gloves may require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to mold to your hands.

Hands feel cold despite wearing gloves

Verify the gloves are fully dry. Ensure the neoprene cuff is sealed properly under your jacket sleeve to prevent drafts. Consider liner gloves for extreme cold, though these gloves are insulated.

Water seeping through seams

The GORE-TEX® insert is designed for waterproofing. If leaks occur, check for damage to the insert or seams. Contact customer support if the issue persists.

Leather appears dry or stiff

Apply a quality leather conditioner according to product instructions to restore moisture and flexibility.

Compatibility: Designed for adult skiers and snowboarders, these gloves fit most hand sizes. The low-profile neoprene cuff is designed to fit comfortably under the sleeves of most ski jackets.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Gently wipe the leather with a damp cloth. Avoid soaking the gloves. For stubborn dirt, use a specialized leather cleaner sparingly.
  2. Drying: Allow gloves to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the leather and waterproof membranes.
  3. Conditioning: Periodically treat the leather with a suitable leather conditioner to maintain its suppleness and prevent cracking. Follow the conditioner's instructions.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
