FAQs
Are these gloves suitable for extreme cold?
Yes, the merino wool lining and three-layer Aquasealz technology are designed for significant warmth and protection in cold weather conditions.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Measure the circumference of your hand at the knuckles (excluding the thumb) and compare it to the brand's sizing chart. A snug fit without being constrictive is ideal for performance and warmth.
Can I use these gloves with touchscreens?
The product description does not specify touchscreen compatibility. It is recommended to test functionality or consult the manufacturer directly if this is a required feature.
How often should I wash the gloves?
Wash only when necessary, such as after heavy use or if they become soiled. Over-washing can degrade the waterproof membrane over time.
What is Fusion Control?
Fusion Control is a technology that bonds multiple layers of the glove together, enhancing the balance between waterproofness, insulation, and breathability.
Can these gloves be machine washed?
It is recommended to hand wash these gloves in cold water. Machine washing, especially with harsh cycles or detergents, may damage the waterproof membrane and materials.
What is the primary benefit of the goatskin leather palm?
The goatskin leather palm provides a durable and reliable grip, which is essential for handling equipment or navigating challenging terrain, even in wet conditions.
Troubleshooting
Gloves feel damp inside despite not being exposed to water.
This can be due to perspiration. Ensure proper fit to allow for some air circulation. If persistent, check care instructions to ensure the waterproof/breathable membrane is functioning correctly.
Loss of grip on the palm.
Clean the goatskin palm gently with a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry completely. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Reduced warmth or waterproofness.
Follow the recommended washing and drying procedures. Damaged or clogged membranes can reduce performance. Avoid drying near heat sources.
