Troubleshooting
Gloves feel too tight or too loose
Ensure you have selected the correct size based on the provided measurement guide (XL: 25.7-27.0 cm). An improper fit can affect comfort and the effectiveness of the BioXCell cushion.
Reduced ventilation or sweaty hands
Confirm that the Airmesh inserts are not obstructed. Ensure the gloves are clean, as dirt buildup can impede airflow. Wash according to care instructions if necessary.
