FAQs
Are these gloves suitable for all weather conditions?
The gloves are designed for optimal performance in most conditions. While the grip technology aims to maintain control, performance may be reduced in extremely wet or muddy environments. They are not waterproof.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the sizing guide provided by Gilbert, typically based on hand measurements. A proper fit is crucial for both comfort and performance.
Can I wash these gloves in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these gloves. Hand washing with cold water and mild soap is the preferred method to preserve the materials and grip.
What is the main benefit of the padding?
The padding is primarily for protection against impacts during tackles, rucks, and scrums, helping to reduce the severity of minor hand injuries.
How long do the gloves typically last?
Durability depends on the frequency and intensity of use. With proper care, they are designed to withstand a full season of regular matches and training.
Will the grip wear off over time?
The grip technology is built for durability, but like any high-contact sports equipment, the grip may naturally decrease with extensive wear and tear. Regular cleaning can help maintain its effectiveness.
Troubleshooting
Reduced grip after use
Clean the grip surfaces gently with a damp cloth and allow to air dry. Ensure no dirt or mud is obstructing the grip material.
Gloves feel too tight or stiff
Wear the gloves for short periods during non-match activities to allow them to break in naturally. Gentle stretching can also help.
Padding feels uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size. The padding is designed to conform to hand shape over time with use.
Material shows signs of wear
Inspect stitching and seams. Minor wear is normal with extensive use. If significant damage occurs, consider replacement.
