HOW DO I KNOW WHAT SIZE WINTER GLOVES I WEAR? These gloves run small, and are best for women/girls with small or petite hands. Use our size chart in the alternate images to find the best fit for your hand. You only need two measurements – tip of middle finger to bottom of palm and width of palm right below the fingers. If between sizes select the next size up
WHAT IS THE THINSULATE TEMPERATURE RATING ON COLD WEATHER GLOVES? These ski gloves come with 40 gram Thinsulate lining and are best for temperatures of 20 degrees Fahrenheit and up, making them the perfect weight for most regions in the United States with exception to those in extreme cold. Ski gloves for women or girls with 40 gram Thinsulate are thin enough to allow for great flexibility yet aren’t too hot – heavier weight can lead to sweaty hands which isn’t ideal in cold weather.
ARE THESE WINTER GLOVES WATERPROOF? The quick answer is “yes”, but the more accurate answer is “yes, these winter gloves are waterproof under NORMAL use conditions”. Normal use conditions include playing in the snow, shoveling snow, going to the store, all standard outdoor activities in the cold and snow. Feel good using your gloves outside and expect your hands to be warm and dry under these normal use situations.
HOW DO YOU WASH / CARE FOR THESE WATEPROOF THINSULATE GLOVES? While hand washing is ideal, it’s not always practical. These gloves can go in the wash machine on delicate and be partially dried on delicate. We recommend NOT drying them fully and allow them to partially air dry. The exterior shell, liner, and filling are 100% polyester, and the Thinsulate is 65% Olefin/35% Polyester, but there is a synthetic waterproof shield between the shell and liner that could be compromised by extreme heat.
WHAT OTHER FEATURES DO THESE GLOVES HAVE? Gloves have an elastic wrist band and adjustable strap that allows you to slip them on easily and then tighten the glove to keep cold air out. A bungee cord strap at the wrist keeps snow out when tightened. Rubber Tech grip on the things and palms increase durability and grip. An external pocket holds hand warmers or keys. Quilted decorative design. Windproof fabric. Two exterior hooks keep gloves together in the off season.
