Product Information

Full details

The Ziener 1734 GTX Glv Sn61 gloves are designed for skiers seeking reliable protection and comfort in cold, wet conditions. Their key benefit is advanced waterproofing and insulation, ensuring warm and dry hands throughout the ski day. A potential caveat is the need for proper care to maintain the waterproof membrane's integrity. This glove combines a durable outer shell with a GORE-TEX membrane and synthetic insulation for effective weather resistance and warmth.

FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for extreme cold?

Yes, the Ziener 1734 GTX Glv Sn61 are designed with premium insulation to provide excellent warmth in cold winter conditions, including those experienced during skiing.

How do I determine my correct glove size?

Refer to the brand's sizing chart, typically found on their website or at the point of purchase. Measure the circumference of your palm and the length of your hand.

Can I wash these gloves in a washing machine?

It is generally recommended to hand wash these gloves to best preserve the integrity of the GORE-TEX membrane and insulation. Avoid machine washing and tumble drying.

What does GORE-TEX mean for my hands?

GORE-TEX provides a highly effective barrier against wind and water while allowing internal moisture (sweat) to escape, keeping your hands dry and comfortable from both external elements and internal perspiration.

How often should I re-waterproof the gloves?

Re-waterproofing is recommended when you notice water is no longer beading up on the outer fabric, typically after significant use or washing cycles. Using a specific DWR treatment for outdoor gear will help maintain performance.

Can I use these gloves for activities other than skiing?

While designed for skiing, their waterproof and insulated properties make them suitable for other cold-weather outdoor activities like snowboarding, snowshoeing, or even general winter wear.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel damp inside

Ensure the gloves are fully dry before wearing. If moisture persists, the GORE-TEX membrane may need cleaning or re-waterproofing. Ensure the cuff closure is tight to prevent snow entry.

Reduced warmth

Check that the gloves are completely dry. Synthetic insulation can lose loft and warmth when wet. Ensure no drafts are entering through the cuff.

Stiffness after washing

Air dry thoroughly. Avoid direct heat. If stiffness remains, gentle flexing by hand can help restore suppleness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These gloves require no setup; they are ready to wear out of the package. They are compatible with most winter sports apparel. To maintain the performance of the GORE-TEX membrane and insulation:

  1. Cleaning: Hand wash gently with lukewarm water and a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners or bleach.
  2. Drying: Air dry the gloves away from direct heat sources like radiators or fireplaces. Do not tumble dry.
  3. Re-waterproofing: Periodically, especially after heavy use or washing, consider using a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment specifically designed for waterproof-outdoor gear to refresh the outer fabric's water-repellency.
