FAQs

Are these gloves machine washable?

It is recommended to wipe them down with a damp cloth. Machine washing may damage the specialized foam coating and waterproof lining.

Can I use these for handling sharp metal?

While the gloves are hard-wearing, they are not classified as cut-resistant. Use caution when handling sharp edges.

Will these gloves work for touchscreens?

No, the thermal padding and grip coating are not designed to interface with capacitive touchscreen devices.

What is the lowest temperature these can handle?

The materials are designed to remain flexible and hard-wearing down to -50 degrees Celsius.

Do they provide impact protection?

They offer cushioning for knuckles and palms, but they are not certified impact-protection gloves.

Can I wear them while handling chemicals?

The gloves are designed for water repellency, not chemical resistance. Check the material safety data sheet if handling industrial chemicals.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel stiff in extreme cold

The gloves are designed to remain flexible; if stiffness occurs, ensure they are not damp on the inside. Dry thoroughly before the next shift.

Grip feels slippery

Clean the embossed palm surface with a damp cloth to remove any grease or debris buildup that may be interfering with the texture.

Moisture inside the glove

Ensure the wrist area is fully secured; if sweat is the cause, consider using a thinner moisture-wicking liner underneath.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These gloves are ready to use immediately out of the packaging. No special setup is required. To ensure maximum longevity:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe away loose dirt or debris with a damp cloth after use. Avoid using harsh chemical solvents that could degrade the latex coating.
  2. Drying: Air dry the gloves in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can damage the thermal lining.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the rubber material from cracking.
  4. Inspection: Before each use, perform a quick visual check for tears in the waterproof lining or excessive wear on the palm coating.
