FAQs
Are these gloves suitable for winter climbing?
These gloves are designed for moderate conditions. The half-finger design offers limited insulation and protection against cold, making them less suitable for harsh winter climbing.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the brand's sizing chart and measure your hand circumference. The gloves should fit snugly without being uncomfortably tight.
Can I use these for general outdoor work?
While durable, they are specifically designed for climbing. For heavy-duty work, dedicated work gloves might offer better protection and longevity.
How should I clean the faux leather?
Use a damp cloth to wipe the faux leather. Avoid harsh detergents or solvents that could degrade the material.
What does the EN 388 certification mean?
EN 388 is a European standard for gloves that protect against mechanical risks. The rating (2131) indicates resistance to abrasion, blade cut, tearing, and puncture.
Will the faux leather crack or peel?
With regular use and exposure to the elements, faux leather can eventually show signs of wear. Proper care can help extend its lifespan.
Troubleshooting
Gloves feel too tight or restrictive
Adjust the wrist strap for a looser fit. If the size is fundamentally incorrect, consider exchanging for a different size.
Reduced grip after use
Wipe the palm and finger areas with a damp cloth to remove dirt and oils that may be affecting the grip.
Stitching appears to be fraying
Gently trim any loose threads with scissors. For significant fraying, contact customer support.
