Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these gloves waterproof?

No, these gloves are water-resistant but not fully waterproof. They are designed for cold and dry conditions and will not keep your hands dry in heavy rain or wet snow.

What makes them "Etip"?

The "Etip" designation refers to their built-in UIR Powered Soft Shell Palm technology, which makes them fully compatible with capacitive touchscreens.

How do I know if they will fit my hands?

The gloves feature a four-way stretch material and Radiometric Articulation for a natural fit. Refer to The North Face's sizing chart for precise measurements.

Can I wash these in a washing machine?

Yes, you can machine wash them cold on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid bleach and high heat drying.

Are they suitable for extreme winter sports like mountaineering?

For extreme cold or high-altitude mountaineering, these gloves may be best used as a liner due to their moderate insulation. For primary handwear in such conditions, consider more heavily insulated and waterproof options.

What does "Radiometric Articulation" mean?

It describes the glove's ergonomic design, shaped to match the natural curvature and resting position of your hand, improving comfort and warmth.

How are these gloves environmentally friendly?

They are made from recycled materials, contributing to reduced waste and a lower environmental impact.

Troubleshooting

Touchscreen not responding

Ensure fingertips are making full contact with the screen. Clean the screen and the glove's conductive fingertips. Test with a different touchscreen device.

Gloves feel too tight

Gently stretch the gloves before wearing. If they continue to feel restrictive, consider a larger size. The four-way stretch material will offer some give over time.

Reduced warmth in very cold conditions

For extreme cold, use these gloves as a liner inside a larger, insulated glove or mitten. Hand warmers can also be placed inside the gloves.

Loss of grip

Ensure the silicone palm grippers are clean and free of debris. Wash the gloves according to care instructions to restore grip.
