What type of insulation is used in these gloves?

Troubleshooting

Gloves are not keeping hands warm.

Ensure the correct size is worn and there's no compression, which can reduce insulation effectiveness. Check if the jacket sleeves are properly covering the cuffs.

Gloves are leaking water.

Check the gloves for any tears or damage. Ensure the cuffs are properly sealed over the jacket sleeves. If the problem persists, contact Alpinestars customer support.

Gloves feel too tight.

Ensure the correct size is being used. If the gloves are new, they may need some break-in time. Try adjusting the fit, and if necessary, consider a larger size.

Difficulty gripping the handlebars.

Ensure the gloves are properly fitted. The Gore-Grip technology should provide good grip, but excessive thickness can reduce feel. Check the glove for any damage.
