FAQs

What sizes are the Husqvarna Technical Gloves available in?

The gloves are available in sizes 9, 10, and 12.

Are these gloves fully waterproof?

The palm is made of naturally water-resistant goatskin leather. While they offer protection against light moisture, they are not fully waterproof and should not be submerged in water. For prolonged heavy rain, additional waterproofing measures or different gear may be needed.

How do I know which size to choose?

Refer to a sizing chart if available, or measure your hand circumference. Generally, size 9 is for smaller hands, 10 for medium, and 12 for larger hands. It is recommended to try them on if possible for the best fit.

Can I wash these gloves in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather and spandex fabric. Hand clean with a damp cloth and air dry as per the care instructions.

What does EN 388:2016 compliance mean for these gloves?

EN 388:2016 is a European standard that specifies requirements and test methods for the protective performance of gloves against mechanical hazards such as abrasion, cutting, tearing, and puncture. Compliance indicates the gloves offer a tested level of protection against these risks.

Will the touch screen feature work with gloves on?

Yes, the index finger is specifically designed with touch screen-friendly material to allow operation of smartphones and other compatible devices while wearing the gloves.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel too tight or too loose.

Adjust the hook-and-loop closure. If the size is consistently incorrect, consider trying a different available size (9, 10, or 12).

Touch screen functionality is not working.

Ensure the index finger is clean and dry. Check that your device's screen is also clean. Heavy dirt or moisture can interfere with touch sensitivity. Try a different size glove if possible, as a very loose fit can sometimes affect touch accuracy.

Leather palm shows signs of wear.

For minor scuffs, the natural oils in the leather may help them fade. For significant damage, professional repair might be necessary. Regular conditioning with a suitable leather care product can help maintain suppleness and durability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These gloves require no setup. Simply select the appropriate size (9, 10, or 12) and put them on. Adjust the hook-and-loop closure for a snug but comfortable fit.

Compatibility: The touch-screen-friendly index finger is designed to work with most capacitive touch screens found on smartphones, tablets, and GPS devices. Performance may vary depending on the specific device and screen protector used.

Care: To maintain the quality and longevity of your gloves:

  1. Cleaning: Gently wipe the leather palm with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or soaking the gloves.
  2. Drying: If the gloves become wet, air dry them naturally away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not use artificial heat sources, as this can damage the leather and fabric.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use to prevent mildew and material degradation.
