Product Information

Full details

The Fransham Gloves in Pink are designed for adult women seeking premium protection during cold-weather activities, especially skiing. Their key benefit is exceptional warmth and waterproof performance, ensuring comfort in sub-zero temperatures. A potential caveat is their specialized nature, making them best suited for ski-specific conditions rather than general everyday use. These gloves feature our signature Aquasealz waterproof technology, Primaloft® Gold Insulation for superior warmth, a goatskin leather palm for durability and grip, and a soft internal lining for added comfort.

FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for everyday wear in winter?

While they offer excellent warmth and protection, their heavy-duty design is optimized for ski-specific activities. For general winter wear, they might be warmer than necessary and less dexterous than lighter gloves.

How do I clean the leather palm?

The entire glove should be hand washed. For the leather palm specifically, after washing and drying, apply a leather conditioner designed for outdoor gear to maintain its suppleness.

What is Primaloft® Gold Insulation?

Primaloft® Gold is a high-performance synthetic insulation known for its excellent warmth-to-weight ratio, water resistance, and breathability, making it ideal for extreme cold conditions.

Can I use these gloves for activities other than skiing?

Yes, they are excellent for any winter activity requiring significant warmth and waterproofing, such as snowboarding, ice fishing, or extreme cold hiking. However, they may be too warm or bulky for light winter walks.

How do the drawcords help?

The elastic drawcords on the cuffs allow you to tighten the opening around your wrist or jacket sleeve. This creates a seal that prevents snow and cold air from entering the glove, maintaining warmth and dryness.

What makes the goatskin leather palm premium?

Goatskin leather is known for its softness, strength, and natural water resistance. It provides a comfortable feel, excellent durability, and a superior grip, even in wet or cold conditions.

How do I store these gloves when not in use?

Use the integrated clasp to keep the pair together. Store them in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are completely dry before storing for extended periods.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel too tight or restrictive.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. For initial wear, try them on with the same type of liner socks you intend to use. The leather may require a short break-in period to conform to your hand shape.

Water is seeping through the gloves.

Inspect the gloves for any tears or damage to the Aquasealz membrane or leather. Ensure the cuff drawcords are fully tightened to create a seal with your jacket. If damage is found, consider repair or replacement.

Hands are not warm enough.

Verify that the Primaloft® Gold Insulation is not compressed. Ensure the gloves are properly sealed at the cuff to prevent cold air ingress. For extreme conditions, consider wearing a thin liner glove underneath.

Leather palm is stiff or cracking.

The leather requires conditioning. Apply a quality leather conditioner specifically designed for outdoor gear after the gloves have been cleaned and are completely dry. This will restore suppleness and protect the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: These gloves are ready to wear straight out of the package. Ensure the fit is comfortable and adjust the elastic drawcords on the cuffs for a secure seal against your jacket sleeves.

Compatibility: Designed as premium ski gloves, they are compatible with ski and snowboard equipment. They pair well with winter jackets featuring longer sleeves that can be tucked inside or pulled over the cuff drawcords.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: To maintain the integrity of the materials, hand wash with cold water and mild soap. Do not use harsh detergents or bleach.
  • Drying: Air dry the gloves away from direct heat sources. Do not tumble dry or use artificial heat, as this can damage the leather and insulation.
  • Leather Care: Periodically treat the leather palm with a suitable leather conditioner to keep it supple and prevent cracking. Apply conditioner after the gloves are fully dry.
