Product Information

Full details

The Belstaff Hampstead Gloves are designed for adult males seeking durable and functional hand protection for motorcycle riding or general outdoor use. Their key benefit lies in the blend of waxed cotton and leather construction, offering both weather resistance and tactile grip, though the smartphone-friendly fabric might require careful use to maintain its sensitivity. These gloves feature technical waxed cotton, leather knuckle protection, localized perforations for breathability, and a secure adjustable strap.

FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for extreme cold weather?

The Belstaff Hampstead Gloves are designed for moderate conditions and offer some protection against wind and light cold. They do not provide significant insulation for extreme cold weather riding.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the brand's sizing chart and measure your hand circumference at the widest point. It's also recommended to try them on if possible, as fit can be personal.

Can I wash these gloves in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended. Hand wash or spot clean specific areas using mild soap and a damp cloth. Always air dry.

How often should I re-wax the cotton parts?

The frequency depends on usage and exposure to elements. If you notice reduced water repellency, it's time to re-apply a proofing wax, typically every 6-12 months for regular use.

What is the purpose of the foam padding on the palm?

The foam padding provides additional cushioning and impact absorption, enhancing comfort during long rides or when gripping handlebars firmly.

Will the touch-sensitive fabric work with a stylus?

The touch-sensitive fabric is designed for capacitive touch screens, typically responding to the natural oils and conductivity of the human finger. It is unlikely to work effectively with a stylus.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel too tight or stiff initially

This is normal for new leather and waxed cotton. Wear the gloves for short periods to break them in. Avoid excessive flexing until they soften.

Smartphone touch screen is not responding

Ensure the touch-sensitive area is clean and dry. Try applying slightly more pressure. The sensitivity may be reduced if the fabric is dirty or worn. Test with different devices if possible.

Water resistance has decreased

The waxed cotton may need re-application of a proofing wax. Follow the instructions on the chosen wax product for best results.

Suede grip is losing effectiveness

Gently brush the suede with a suede brush to restore its nap and grip. Avoid getting the suede excessively wet.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable construction with a mix of waxed cotton and leather.
  • Good grip enhancement thanks to suede inserts.
  • Enhanced protection with leather knuckle guards and palm padding.
  • Breathability is improved with localized perforations.
  • Convenient for using smartphones with touch-sensitive index fingers.
  • Adjustable cuff ensures a secure and personalized fit.

Cons

  • Waxed cotton may require periodic re-waxing to maintain water resistance.
  • Touch sensitivity on smartphone fabric may degrade with heavy use or dirt.
  • Lining is 100% polyester, which may not be as breathable as natural fibers in very hot conditions.
  • Limited insulation for extreme cold weather conditions.
  • Sizing may vary, requiring careful measurement or trying on.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

The Belstaff Hampstead Gloves require no specific setup. Simply wear them and adjust the Velcro strap for a secure fit.

Compatibility:

  • Smartphone Use: The touch-sensitive fabric on the index finger is designed to work with most capacitive touch screens. Performance may vary based on screen protectors or individual device sensitivity. It's best to test on your specific device.
  • Other Gear: Designed to be worn independently or potentially under certain types of jacket cuffs, depending on the jacket's sleeve design.

Care Instructions:

  • Leather Parts: Clean with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper cleaning or conditioning, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner. Avoid soaking the leather.
  • Fabric Parts: Spot clean the waxed cotton and polyester fabric with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Do not machine wash.
  • Re-waxing: The waxed cotton may benefit from occasional re-waxing with a dedicated proofing wax to maintain its water-resistant properties. Follow the instructions on the wax product.
  • Drying: Air dry the gloves naturally away from direct heat sources or sunlight. Do not tumble dry.
