Troubleshooting
Touchscreen sensitivity is low
Ensure the conductive fingertips are clean and that your finger is making direct contact with the inner lining of the glove.
Water appears to be soaking through
Check the wrist cord to ensure the cuff is fully sealed; also, ensure the gloves were not washed with fabric softeners which can damage the membrane.
Pros and Cons

- Reliable palm grip for better handling

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your gloves, always adjust the wrist cord to your preferred tension before starting your activity; this prevents cold air from entering the cuff. For touchscreen use, ensure the conductive material on the fingertips is clean. Regarding care, these gloves should be machine washed at a maximum temperature of 30ºC. Avoid using fabric softeners or harsh detergents, as these can compromise the waterproof membrane. After washing, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to maintain the integrity of the fleece and technical fabrics.
