FAQs

What is the primary material of the Portwest A271 gloves?

The primary exterior material is full-grain leather, and the interior lining is Insulatex fleece.

Are these gloves waterproof?

These gloves are designed for warmth and durability in cold conditions. They offer some resistance to light moisture but are not fully waterproof.

How do I determine the right size?

Measure the circumference of your palm just below the knuckles. Refer to the Portwest sizing chart for the corresponding glove size. A snug but comfortable fit is ideal.

Can I wash these gloves in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather and the Insulatex lining. Hand clean with a damp cloth as described in the care instructions.

What kind of protection do these gloves offer?

They offer protection against abrasion, tears, and punctures, along with significant warmth. They are CE certified for safety.

How long can I expect these gloves to last?

The lifespan depends on the frequency and intensity of use. However, the full-grain leather and robust construction are designed for durability, with customers reporting long-term satisfaction with heavy use.

Are these gloves suitable for handling hot objects?

No, these gloves are not designed for heat resistance. They are intended for cold weather protection.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel too tight or restrictive.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Leather gloves often require a break-in period; wear them for short periods initially, and they should gradually conform to your hand shape. Avoid excessive force when putting them on.

Hands still feel cold in very low temperatures.

While the Insulatex lining provides good warmth, extreme cold may require additional hand warmers or a thinner liner glove worn underneath. These gloves are best suited for cool to moderately cold conditions.

Leather appears dry or stiff.

Apply a suitable leather conditioner to the exterior of the gloves and allow it to penetrate. This will restore suppleness and protect the leather.

Stitching starts to fray.

For minor fraying, carefully trim loose threads with scissors. If stitching integrity is compromised significantly, consider if the gloves are being used beyond their intended purpose or if replacement is necessary.

Pros and Cons

  • CE certified for safety assurance

Cons

  • May not provide sufficient warmth for extreme sub-zero temperatures without additional layering
  • Leather may require occasional conditioning to maintain flexibility

  • Not designed for protection against chemicals or electrical hazards
  • May feel slightly stiff initially until broken in

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These gloves require no specific setup. Simply put them on. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal comfort and protection.

Compatibility: The Portwest A271 gloves are designed for general work in cold environments. They are compatible with tasks involving handling materials, tools, and general outdoor work. They are not designed for protection against chemicals, extreme heat, or electrical hazards.

Care: To maintain the quality and longevity of the gloves:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the leather exterior with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or soaking the gloves.
  2. Drying: If the gloves become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can dry out and crack the leather.
  3. Conditioning: Periodically, apply a leather conditioner to the outer shell to keep the leather supple and prevent it from drying out, especially after cleaning or prolonged use in dry conditions.
  4. Storage: Store the gloves in a cool, dry place when not in use.
