FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for winter riding?

The Rukka Apollo 2.0 GTX gloves offer excellent windproof and waterproof protection, and can be worn with a thin liner for added warmth. However, they are not specifically insulated for extreme cold. For very cold conditions, consider adding a thermal liner or a dedicated winter glove.

How do I clean the Gore-Tex material?

The Gore-Tex membrane is integrated into the glove. Clean the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using harsh detergents or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the material's performance.

Can I machine wash these gloves?

No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the leather, the Gore-Tex membrane, and other components. Hand washing with mild soap and air drying is the preferred method.

What is the primary advantage of goatskin leather in gloves?

Goatskin leather is known for its softness, durability, and excellent grip, even when wet. This makes it a preferred material for motorcycle gloves where tactile feedback and control are essential.

How does the touchscreen system work?

The gloves feature conductive threads or materials integrated into the fingertips. These allow for the transmission of electrical signals to capacitive touchscreens, enabling basic operation like tapping and swiping.

Do these gloves offer impact protection?

While the product description focuses on weather protection and materials, impact protection features (like knuckle armor) are not explicitly mentioned. Always check the detailed product specifications for specific protective elements.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel too tight or loose

Refer to the Rukka sizing guide and ensure accurate hand measurements. If between sizes, consider the thicker glove liner if applicable, or exchange for a different size.

Touchscreen does not respond

Ensure the touchscreen area of the glove is clean and dry. Check that your device's screen is also clean. Try pressing slightly firmer on the screen. Compatibility may vary with certain device screen protectors.

Hands feel damp after riding in the rain

Verify that the gloves are fully waterproof and that there are no tears or punctures. Ensure the inner lining is properly positioned and not bunching up. If persistent, the Gore-Tex membrane might be compromised and require professional inspection.

Leather feels stiff

Apply a small amount of a specialized leather conditioner suitable for motorcycle gloves. Allow it to soak in and then gently wipe off any excess. This should restore suppleness.
