FAQs
What type of weather are these gloves best suited for?
These gloves are ideal for cool, windy conditions commonly encountered during dynamic mountain activities like mountaineering, climbing, and hiking. They offer wind protection and moisture management but are not designed for extreme cold.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the brand's sizing chart, typically available on their website or the product's retail page. Measure the circumference of your hand excluding the thumb, and the length from your wrist to the tip of your middle finger.
Can I wash these gloves in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these gloves. Hand washing in cool water with a mild soap is the preferred method to preserve the materials and performance.
How often should I condition the leather palm?
Condition the leather palm every few months, or whenever it appears dry or stiff, to maintain its suppleness and prevent damage.
Will the touchscreen compatibility wear out?
Like all touchscreen-compatible fabrics, the sensitivity can diminish over time with extensive use and wear. Keep the fingertips clean for optimal performance.
Are these gloves waterproof?
No, these gloves are windproof and highly water-resistant due to the softshell material, but they are not fully waterproof. They are designed for breathability and active use where water resistance is sufficient.
Troubleshooting
Reduced grip on leather palm
Clean the leather palm with a damp cloth to remove dirt and oils. Apply a dedicated leather conditioner if the leather feels dry.
Touchscreen not responding
Ensure fingertips are clean and dry. Some screen protectors may interfere with sensitivity. Try a different part of the compatible fingertip.
Hands feel cold in very low temperatures
These gloves are designed for cool, dynamic conditions. For extreme cold, consider using them as an outer layer over thinner liner gloves or opt for a heavily insulated glove.
