FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for both hands?

No, the specialized chainsaw protection is integrated only into the left glove to meet safety standards for chainsaw operation. The right glove provides standard hand protection and grip.

What does 'Class 0' safety mean for chainsaw protection?

Class 0 (16 m/s) indicates the level of protection against a moving chainsaw chain. This means the glove is tested to withstand a chain speed of up to 16 meters per second.

Can I wash these gloves in a washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these leather gloves. Cleaning with a damp cloth and using a leather conditioner is the preferred method to maintain the integrity of the materials.

How do I know if I have the right size?

The gloves should fit snugly but comfortably, allowing for full hand movement and dexterity. There should be no excessive looseness or tightness. Measure your hand circumference and compare it to the manufacturer's sizing chart if available.

Will these gloves keep my hands warm in cold weather?

While the leather offers some insulation, these gloves are primarily designed for protection and dexterity during chainsaw work. For extreme cold, insulated gloves specifically designed for cold weather may be more appropriate.

How often should I condition the leather?

Condition the leather periodically, especially after cleaning or if the gloves feel dry or stiff. The frequency depends on usage and environmental conditions, but checking them monthly is a good practice.

Are these gloves waterproof?

The gloves offer resistance to rain and moisture due to the leather and the close-fit wrist. However, they are not fully waterproof and prolonged immersion in water should be avoided.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel too tight or restrictive.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Leather gloves will stretch slightly with use, but an initially overly tight fit can be uncomfortable and hinder dexterity. Consider if a different size is needed.

Reduced grip on chainsaw handle.

Check if the reinforced palms are clean and free from dirt or oil. Ensure the gloves are properly worn and the wrist closure is secure.

Left-hand protection feels bulky.

This is due to the integrated chainsaw protection layer. While designed for safety, it may feel different from a standard glove. Allow time for your hands to adjust to the feel during use.

Leather is becoming stiff or cracked.

The gloves may need conditioning. Apply a quality leather conditioner following the product's instructions and allow the gloves to dry naturally away from heat.

Rain or dust entering the wrist area.

Ensure the close-fit wrist protection is correctly fastened and snug against your arm. Check for any damage to the closure mechanism or material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These gloves require no complex setup. Simply ensure you have selected the correct size for a snug yet comfortable fit. The glove is designed for immediate use upon unboxing.

Compatibility:

While primarily designed for chainsaw use, these gloves are compatible with a wide range of outdoor work and manual labor tasks where hand protection and grip are important. They are suitable for use by both professional loggers and homeowners.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Gently wipe the leather exterior with a slightly damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid using harsh detergents or soaking the gloves in water.
  • Drying: If the gloves become wet, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources (like radiators or open fires) to prevent the leather from cracking or becoming stiff. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
  • Conditioning: Periodically treat the leather with a suitable leather conditioner to keep it supple and extend its lifespan. Apply conditioner sparingly according to product instructions.
  • Storage: Store the gloves in a cool, dry place, preferably on a glove rack or laid flat, to maintain their shape and prevent creasing.
