Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for extreme cold?

Yes, the Westfield gloves are highly insulative and designed for cold weather, featuring a waterproof and breathable three-layer system.

How do I clean the leather exterior?

Wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid soaking or using harsh cleaners. Allow to air dry naturally.

Can I machine wash these gloves?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather and the waterproof membrane.

What does 'Fusion Control' mean?

Fusion Control is a technical bonding process that integrates the waterproof, insulating, and breathable layers into a single, functional unit within the glove.

How do I ensure a good fit for maximum warmth?

Adjust the drawcord at the cuff to create a snug fit around your wrist. This helps to seal out cold air and retain body heat.

What is the primary material used?

The gloves feature a natural goatskin leather exterior and palm, with an ultra-soft internal lining.

Are these gloves suitable for everyday wear or just hiking?

While designed for hiking, their waterproof and warm features make them suitable for any outdoor activity in cold and wet conditions.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel stiff after drying.

The leather may have dried out. Apply a small amount of leather conditioner to restore suppleness. Ensure gloves are dried naturally away from heat.

Water seems to be seeping through.

Check for damage to the leather or membrane. Ensure the cuff drawcord is properly tightened. If the issue persists, the waterproof barrier may be compromised.

Reduced grip on the palm.

Ensure the palm area is clean and dry. If the leather has become very smooth, it might benefit from a light conditioning treatment.

Internal lining feels uncomfortable.

Ensure hands are clean and dry before wearing. If discomfort persists, the fit might be incorrect or the internal material may not suit individual sensitivity.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproofing and breathability combined.
  • Superior insulation for cold conditions.
  • Durable and grippy leather exterior.
  • Comfortable internal lining.
  • Secure fit with adjustable cuff.

Cons

  • Leather requires specific care and maintenance.
  • May not be suitable for very wet, warm conditions where maximum breathability is prioritized over waterproofing.
  • Initial break-in period for leather might be necessary for optimal flexibility.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These gloves require no setup. Simply wear them. Ensure the drawcord at the cuff is adjusted for a snug fit to maximize warmth and prevent moisture ingress.

Compatibility: While primarily designed for hiking and cold-weather activities, they are compatible with most outdoor gear. The leather ensures good dexterity for handling equipment.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the leather exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or soaking the gloves.
  • Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources (like radiators or fires), which can dry out and crack the leather. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
  • Conditioning: Periodically treat the leather with a suitable leather conditioner to keep it supple and prolong its lifespan. Apply sparingly and buff off any excess.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a well-ventilated area. Use the clasps to keep them together.
