FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for activities other than skiing?

Yes, while designed for skiing, their waterproofing and insulation make them suitable for various cold-weather outdoor activities like snowboarding, ice fishing, or even very cold commutes.

How do I know if I have the right size?

The gloves should fit snugly but not be so tight that they restrict blood flow. Measure the circumference of your palm and the length of your middle finger, comparing these measurements to the brand's sizing chart. The adjustable strap can help fine-tune the fit.

Can I machine wash these gloves?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the waterproof membrane and insulation. Always hand wash in cold water.

What is the advantage of Primaloft Gold Insulation?

Primaloft Gold is a high-performance synthetic insulation known for its excellent warmth-to-weight ratio, superior water resistance compared to down, and breathability, ensuring comfort in cold and wet conditions.

How durable is the goatskin leather palm?

Goatskin leather is naturally soft, durable, and water-resistant, offering excellent dexterity and grip. With proper care, it will maintain its integrity through rigorous use.

Will these gloves keep my hands warm in extreme cold (below -10°C / 14°F)?

The combination of Primaloft Gold Insulation and the waterproof design is intended for sub-zero temperatures. Performance can vary based on individual circulation and activity level, but they are engineered for such conditions.

How should I maintain the waterproofing?

Regularly clean the gloves according to the care instructions. Periodically, after cleaning and drying, you can apply a waterproofing treatment specifically designed for outdoor gear and leather to replenish the protective DWR finish.

Troubleshooting

Hands feel cold despite wearing the gloves.

Ensure the wrist strap and cuff are properly tightened to seal out cold air. Check if the glove size is appropriate; a too-tight glove can restrict circulation. Allow time for the insulation to warm up with body heat.

Gloves feel damp inside after use.

This could be due to internal perspiration. Ensure the gloves are dried thoroughly after each use, following the care instructions. If the issue persists, the waterproof membrane might be compromised, or the gloves may need re-waterproofing treatment.

Grip on ski poles feels insecure.

Clean the goatskin palm with a slightly damp cloth and allow it to dry completely. Ensure no residues from care products are affecting the grip. Reapply leather conditioner if the palm feels dry.

Clasp for storage is difficult to fasten.

Ensure the fabric is not caught in the clasp mechanism. Gently align the clasp pieces before pressing them together.
