FAQs
Are these gloves suitable for temperatures below freezing?
Yes, the PrimaLoft® Gold Cross Core™ insulation and GORE-TEX® ePE membrane are designed to provide warmth and protection in cold winter conditions, including temperatures below freezing.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
Measure the circumference of your palm and your middle finger length. Compare these measurements to the sizing chart provided by GORE WEAR. A snug but not overly tight fit is recommended for optimal warmth and dexterity.
Can I wash these gloves in a washing machine?
Yes, they can be machine washed on a cold (30°C) gentle cycle with liquid detergent. Avoid using bleach, fabric softener, or powder detergent.
How should I dry the gloves after washing?
Air dry the gloves completely. Do not tumble dry, iron, or place them near direct heat sources.
What does 'fully conductive palm' mean?
It means the material on the palm and fingers allows electrical conductivity, enabling you to operate touchscreens on devices like smartphones and GPS units without needing to remove your gloves.
How do the reflective details help?
The reflective detailing on the gloves increases your visibility to others in low-light conditions, such as dawn, dusk, or night riding, enhancing safety.
What is the main difference between these and non-insulated gloves?
These are insulated with PrimaLoft® Gold Cross Core™ for added warmth, making them ideal for cold weather. Non-insulated gloves typically offer more dexterity but less warmth.
Troubleshooting
Gloves feel damp inside after use.
This could be due to perspiration. Ensure proper fit and consider the temperature. If the dampness persists and the exterior is dry, it might indicate a need for cleaning or that the breathability limits have been reached during intense activity. Ensure gloves are fully dry before storing.
Touchscreen functionality is inconsistent.
Ensure the conductive palms are clean and dry. Rubbing the palms gently with a clean, dry cloth can help. If the issue persists, the screen protector on your device might be interfering.
Reduced grip on handlebars.
Check if the grip treatment is dirty. Clean the palms with a damp cloth and mild soap, then rinse and air dry completely. Ensure the gloves are fully dry before use.
Velcro closure losing its effectiveness.
Clean both the hook and loop sides of the Velcro with a small brush or by rinsing under cold water to remove lint and debris. Allow to air dry completely.
