Troubleshooting
Gloves sliding down the arm during wear

Fabric snagging on jewelry
Put the gloves on before applying rings, bracelets, or watches to minimize the risk of catching the polyester fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To wear, simply slide your hand and forearm into the gloves, smoothing the fabric upward until the cuff rests comfortably above the elbow. These gloves are compatible with most adult arm lengths. For care, avoid machine washing to prevent fraying or pilling of the polyester threads. If the gloves become soiled, use a damp cloth with mild soap to gently spot-clean the area. Lay the gloves flat to air dry away from direct heat sources to preserve the integrity of the fabric's stretch.
