Do’s

• Keep your gloves warm and dry. Gloves have an unavoidable design flaw – an open end where water, snow, rain, beer, wine, and even gin and tonic can get in! Do your best to keep them dry and breathable.

• Understand waterproofing. The only truly waterproof gloves are rubber ones like Marigolds, but they don’t breathe. Our leather is as waterproof as possible while still allowing breathability.

• Store gloves properly when taking a break. When stopping for lunch or a break while skiing, store your gloves inside your jacket or mid-layer—under your armpits or down your side works best. It may look a little odd, but your gloves will stay warm, preventing that unpleasant chill when you put them back on.

• Dry wet gloves correctly. Bad weather, warm conditions, or compressing snow on your ski poles can lead to wet gloves. Dry them properly by keeping them open and upright to allow warm air to circulate. A toilet roll holder or a plastic cup with the bottom removed can help keep them open.

• Use boot dryers in chalets. These work well for drying gloves, but ensure the ends of the gloves are open to let air circulate. If sealed around the dryer, they will take longer to dry.

• Use the inside leather loop for wrist straps. This helps keep your gloves secure and easily

Dont's

• Don’t drop them in water. While our leather is highly water-resistant, submerging them in water is not a good test and will compromise their performance.

• Don’t use an oven to dry gloves. Our waterproof and breathable Hypora membrane does not respond well to overheating. If exposed to high heat, it will lose breathability and effectiveness.

• Don’t buy gloves that are too small. It’s better to go slightly larger, as they trap more air for insulation. On very cold days, you can wear a silk liner inside for extra warmth.

• Don’t leave gloves exposed to the cold air. Avoid placing them on a table or any cold surface during breaks—this will make them cold when you put them back on.

• Don’t lay them flat on a radiator. Instead, stand them upright on their cuffs for better drying.

• Don’t turn gloves inside out. They are difficult to get back in place. When removing new gloves, pull them off by the fingers to prevent the liners from coming out. Once broken in, the liners will stay in place much better.
