Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Altura Kielder Trail gloves, pull them on using the cuff base rather than tugging at the fingers. For cleaning, hand wash in lukewarm water with a mild detergent; avoid harsh chemicals or fabric softeners that can break down the suede and silicone grip. Lay the gloves flat to air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the neoprene to become brittle. Check the fitment regularly to ensure the cuff remains snug to avoid debris entering the wrist area.
