FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for very extreme cold?

The gloves feature Primaloft® insulation and are designed for cold and wet conditions, offering excellent warmth. For extremely low temperatures or prolonged exposure, pairing them with a thin liner glove may provide additional warmth.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Measure the circumference of your palm and the length of your middle finger. Compare these measurements to the brand's sizing chart to find the best fit. A snug fit is ideal for warmth and dexterity.

Can I machine wash these gloves?

It is recommended to hand wash the gloves with cold water and mild soap. Avoid machine washing, bleach, and tumble drying, as these can damage the materials and waterproofing.

Will the touchscreen feature work with all devices?

The gloves are designed to be compatible with most capacitive touch screens. However, performance can vary depending on the device, screen sensitivity, and the presence of moisture on the glove fingertips.

How long will the waterproofing last?

With proper care, the waterproof treatment and materials are designed for durability. Regular washing with mild soap and air drying, along with avoiding harsh chemicals, will help maintain the waterproof integrity.

What is Primaloft® insulation?

Primaloft® is a synthetic insulation technology known for its warmth, water resistance, and breathability, often used as an alternative to down. It provides excellent thermal performance even when damp.

Troubleshooting

Hands feel cold despite wearing gloves

Ensure gloves are fully dry inside and out. Check that the wrist closure is snug to prevent cold air from entering. For extreme cold, consider layering with a thinner liner glove.

Touchscreen not responding

Wipe fingertips with a dry cloth to remove any moisture or dirt. Ensure the glove is dry. Sometimes, a firmer press is needed compared to bare fingers.

Water seeping through seams

Inspect gloves for any tears or damage to the waterproof membrane or seam tape. If damage is found, consider if repair is possible or if replacement is needed. Minor initial dampness may occur in prolonged heavy rain.

Grip is reduced when wet

Clean the silicone grip areas with a damp cloth and allow to air dry. Ensure the inside of the gloves is also dry, as moisture can transfer to the grip.
