FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for extreme cold?

The Kelling gloves offer warmth and protection for general winter activities. For prolonged exposure to extreme cold, layering with a thinner liner glove might be beneficial.

How do I ensure the best fit?

Measure the circumference of your hand at the knuckles and the length from your wrist to the tip of your middle finger. Compare these measurements to the brand's sizing chart. A snug fit is generally recommended for optimal performance and warmth.

Can these gloves be machine washed?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the waterproof membrane and the leather. Hand wash only in cold water.

What does 'all-weather' mean for these gloves?

'All-weather' indicates that the gloves are designed to protect against a range of conditions, including rain, wind, and snow, while maintaining breathability.

How long will the waterproof feature last?

With proper care, the AQUASEALZ waterproof membrane is designed for long-term durability. Regular hand washing and allowing them to air dry will help maintain its effectiveness.

Can I use my smartphone with these gloves on?

The leather and polyester construction may limit touchscreen sensitivity. Specific features for touchscreen compatibility are not advertised for this model.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel damp inside after use.

Ensure the gloves are completely dry before storing. If they feel damp during use, they may be saturated; allow them to air dry thoroughly. Check that the waterproof membrane is intact.

Reduced flexibility or stiffness.

Leather can stiffen over time. Hand wash gently and ensure they are completely dry before attempting to soften them by flexing them manually. Avoid direct heat for drying.

Water seeps through the material.

Inspect the gloves for any tears or damage to the outer material or waterproof membrane. If damage is found, the waterproof integrity may be compromised. Ensure care instructions were followed.

Sizing feels incorrect after initial wear.

While designed for a snug fit, if the gloves are uncomfortably tight or loose, consider if the correct size was selected. For leather, there can be a slight break-in period.
