FAQs

Are these gloves truly waterproof?

Yes, the gloves feature an AQUASEALZ membrane, a proprietary technology designed to provide complete waterproofing while remaining breathable.

How does the split finger design improve cycling?

The split finger design separates the index finger and thumb from the other fingers, enhancing dexterity. This allows for easier operation of bike gear shifters, brakes, and maintaining a secure grip on the handlebars.

Can I use these gloves for activities other than cycling?

While optimized for cycling, their waterproof and dexterous nature makes them suitable for various cold-weather outdoor activities where hand protection and fine motor control are required.

What material are the gloves made of?

The gloves are crafted with a blend of polyester and polyurethane for the outer layer, an AQUASEALZ waterproof membrane, and a polyester inner layer for warmth. The exterior often features a suede finish.

How should I clean my gloves?

Care for your gloves by washing them at 30ºC, allowing them to drip dry naturally. Avoid dry cleaning, ironing, and bleaching to preserve their material and performance.

What is the main benefit of the multi-layered approach?

The multi-layered construction provides ultimate protection by combining durability from the outer layers, waterproofing from the membrane, and warmth from the inner layer.

Do these gloves come in other colors?

Yes, the Barwick Split Finger Glove is available in a range of colors to match different cycling gear and personal preferences.

Troubleshooting

Hands still feel cold or wet

Ensure the gloves are the correct size and fit snugly without being too tight, which can restrict circulation. Verify that the AQUASEALZ membrane is intact and not compromised. Consider using a thin liner glove for an extra layer of warmth if needed for extreme conditions.

Reduced dexterity or grip

Break in the gloves by wearing them for shorter periods initially. Ensure the suede material is not overly stiff; proper care and drying can help maintain flexibility.

Suede material is stiff or discolored after washing

Ensure you followed the care instructions precisely. Avoid harsh detergents and direct heat for drying. If stiffness persists, a specialized suede conditioner may be considered, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
