Hestra Bergvik Gloves - Bottle Green

The Hestra Bergvik Gloves are water-resistant due to the leather construction and insulation, but they are not fully waterproof. They are designed for cold weather protection rather than heavy precipitation.

Primaloft Gold is a high-performance synthetic insulation known for its warmth, softness, breathability, and water-repellent properties, offering excellent thermal efficiency comparable to down.

Typically, you measure the circumference of your hand at its widest point (excluding the thumb) and compare it to the brand's sizing chart. For Hestra, consult their specific sizing guide.

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather and the insulation. Hand clean with a damp cloth or use specific leather care products.

This specific model description does not mention touchscreen compatibility. For touchscreen use, look for gloves explicitly advertised with that feature.

The Bergvik gloves are intended for general cold-weather use, offering warmth and durability for everyday activities, commuting, and light outdoor pursuits in cool to cold conditions.

Regularly clean with a damp cloth and periodically apply a suitable leather conditioner to keep the material supple and protected. Ensure they are dried naturally if they get wet.

Leather gloves often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially. If still too tight after some use, they may be the wrong size. Avoid stretching them significantly as this can damage the material.

Apply a small amount of specialized leather conditioner to restore suppleness. Ensure you are using a product suitable for the type of leather.

Allow the gloves to dry naturally. For persistent marks, try a specialized leather cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Ensure the gloves are completely dry. Over time, oils from the hand can affect insulation. Proper care and occasional conditioning can help maintain performance.
