FAQs
Are these gloves suitable for very cold, sub-zero temperatures?
Yes, the Primaloft Gold insulation is specifically designed to provide excellent thermal protection in sub-zero temperatures.
How do I clean the goatskin leather palm?
Gently wipe the leather palm with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners and allow to air dry completely. Periodically use a leather conditioner.
What is the purpose of the PU suede thumb wiper?
The PU suede material on the thumb is designed to effectively wipe away snow or moisture from ski goggles or your face.
Can I adjust the fit of the gloves?
Yes, the gloves feature an elastic drawcord on the cuff and internal wrist straps, both allowing you to adjust the fit for comfort and to seal out snow.
How should I dry the gloves if they get wet inside?
To dry the gloves, remove any excess water, stuff them loosely with newspaper, and let them air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat.
What makes these gloves 'highly breathable'?
The three-layer construction and the Primaloft Gold insulation work together to allow moisture vapor from your hands to escape, preventing a clammy feeling while maintaining waterproofness.
What is AQUASEALZ technology?
AQUASEALZ is the proprietary technology used in the glove's construction to ensure it is 100% waterproof and windproof.
Troubleshooting
Hands feel cold despite wearing gloves.
Ensure the gloves are completely dry inside and out. Check that the cuffs are properly sealed to prevent drafts. Consider if the ambient temperature is below the effective range of the insulation.
Water seeping through the material.
Inspect the glove for any punctures or tears, especially in the palm or finger areas. If the waterproof membrane is compromised, the gloves may need replacement. Ensure cuffs are sealed properly over jacket sleeves.
Leather palm feels stiff or dry.
Apply a specialized leather conditioner to the palm and fingers. Use sparingly and allow it to fully absorb before wearing the gloves.
Gloves are difficult to put on or take off.
Ensure the inner lining is dry and smooth. Avoid putting on gloves immediately after washing or if the interior is damp. Consider if the size is appropriate.

Care:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the leather palm with a slightly damp cloth to remove dirt. Avoid harsh detergents. For the fabric components, spot clean with mild soap and water.
- Drying: Air dry gloves naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or fireplaces. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Conditioning: Periodically treat the goatskin leather palm with a dedicated leather conditioner to keep it supple and prevent cracking. Follow the conditioner manufacturer's instructions.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
