Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for extreme cold?

The Garvestone gloves are designed for cold weather and offer good insulation. For extremely low temperatures or prolonged exposure, consider using liner gloves underneath for added warmth.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Measure the circumference of your palm and the length of your hand. Compare these measurements to the brand's sizing chart. The gloves should feel snug but not restrictive, allowing for a full range of motion.

Can I machine wash these gloves?

No, machine washing is not recommended. Hand wash in cold water with mild soap and air dry naturally to preserve the waterproof membrane and leather.

How often should I condition the leather palm?

Condition the leather palm every few months, or when the leather starts to feel dry, to maintain its flexibility and prevent cracking.

What does Aquasealz technology do?

Aquasealz is a three-layer system that makes the gloves fully waterproof while allowing perspiration vapor to escape, keeping your hands dry from both external moisture and sweat.

Are the gloves insulated on the inside?

Yes, the gloves feature a soft and insulative sherpa fleece lining on the rear of the hands for warmth.

What is the purpose of the drawcord at the cuff?

The adjustable drawcord allows you to cinch the cuff for a close fit, which helps to enhance insulation by preventing cold air from entering and warm air from escaping.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel tight or uncomfortable

Adjust the drawcord at the cuff to loosen the fit. Ensure you have selected the correct size based on hand measurements.

Reduced waterproofing over time

Ensure the gloves are clean and free from dirt or debris. Reapply a suitable leather conditioner to the palm if necessary. Check the Aquasealz membrane for any visible damage.

Hands feel clammy despite being dry

This can indicate high perspiration. While breathable, extreme exertion might exceed the membrane's capacity. Try wearing thinner liner gloves if more moisture management is needed.

Clasps are difficult to use

Ensure the clasps are fully aligned before attempting to connect them. They are designed for secure storage and may require a firm push.
