Product Information

Full details

This Portwest GL14 Insulated Fingerless Knit Glove in Navy is designed for adults seeking dexterity and warmth. Its key benefit is the combination of hard-wearing acrylic knit with a soft Insulatex lining for superior insulation without bulk, while the fingerless design allows for excellent grip and fine motor control. A potential caveat is that while warm, they are not fully waterproof. This glove offers a practical solution for tasks requiring both manual dexterity and hand warmth.

FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for very cold weather?

The Insulatex lining provides good warmth for their weight, but they are best suited for cool to moderately cold conditions where dexterity is a priority. For extreme cold, fully insulated gloves may be more appropriate.

Can I use these for heavy-duty work?

The acrylic knit outer is hard-wearing for general use, but for very rough or sharp materials, they may not offer sufficient protection. They are ideal for tasks requiring fine motor skills.

How do I ensure the best fit?

Measure the circumference of your palm and consult a sizing chart if available from the manufacturer. A snug but not constricting fit is ideal for warmth and dexterity.

What is Insulatex lining?

Insulatex is a soft lining material designed to offer superior warmth without adding unnecessary weight or bulk to the glove.

Can I wash these gloves with other items?

It is recommended to wash them separately or with similar colored items on a mild process at 30°C to prevent color transfer or damage to the material.

Do the fingerless gloves offer any protection against water?

These gloves are not designed to be waterproof. They offer insulation against cold but will get wet if exposed to moisture.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel too tight or too loose

Ensure you have selected the correct size. If too tight, try a larger size. If too loose, try a smaller size for a better grip and insulation.

Reduced warmth after washing

Follow the washing instructions precisely. Ensure the gloves are line-dried and not exposed to high heat, which can damage the Insulatex lining.

Pilling or wear on the acrylic knit

This is normal wear for acrylic knit. For minor snags, carefully trim loose threads. Avoid contact with sharp objects to prolong the life of the glove.
