Product Information
Full details
The Mountain Warehouse Ski Gloves are designed for adult males seeking reliable hand protection during cold-weather activities. Their key benefit is superior insulation and water resistance, keeping hands warm and dry on the slopes. A potential consideration is their specific focus on ski use, which may make them less versatile for other casual winter wear. These gloves are constructed from 100% polyester with a fleece lining, featuring durable, DWR finish, and snowproof fabric technology. They also include an elasticated and stretch cuff, a grip palm, and are insulating.

FAQs
Are these gloves suitable for extreme cold temperatures?
The gloves are designed for skiing and offer good insulation. For extremely low temperatures or prolonged inactivity in the cold, additional hand warmers might be considered.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the brand's sizing chart for Mountain Warehouse gloves. Typically, you would measure the circumference of your palm and the length of your hand.
Can I wash these gloves in a washing machine?
Hand washing in cool water is recommended to preserve the fabric integrity and DWR treatment. Avoid machine washing and harsh detergents.
What does DWR Finish mean?
DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. It's a coating applied to fabrics to make them shed water and resist stains, helping to keep the fabric dry.
Are the gloves waterproof or water-resistant?
The gloves feature a DWR finish and are described as snowproof, indicating they are water-resistant against snow and light moisture, rather than fully waterproof.
Can these gloves be used for activities other than skiing?
Yes, they can be used for other cold-weather activities like snowboarding, hiking, or any situation requiring warm, protected hands. However, they might be warmer than needed for casual wear.
Troubleshooting
Hands feel cold despite wearing gloves
Ensure gloves are dry. If wet, allow them to dry completely before use. Check if the cuff is properly sealed around your jacket sleeve to prevent drafts.
Gloves feel damp inside after use
This could be due to perspiration. Ensure the gloves are fully dried after each use. The DWR finish might be compromised if the dampness is due to external moisture penetration; consider re-applying a DWR treatment.
Reduced grip on ski poles
Ensure the grip palm is clean and free from dirt or debris. Check for any wear and tear on the textured surface.
