How do I care for my gloves?Updated 5 months ago

Proper care can significantly extend the life of your gloves. We recommend impregnating ski gloves before use to improve dirt repellency and treating leather parts regularly with commercially available leather care products. The leather remains supple for longer, cracks and abrasion can be reduced. 

We also recommend always airing the gloves well, not packing them damp or wet, and regularly washing off dirt with a damp cloth. In addition, if necessary, a light hand wash in lukewarm water with a small dose of mild detergent can be used. Please do not use heavy-duty detergent. The gloves should then be wrung out only slightly and dried at room temperature. Drying in a tumble dryer, on a heater or with a hair dryer makes the materials, especially leather, stiff and brittle, and laminations can be damaged. After drying, we again recommend treating the textile parts with a commercial impregnation spray and any leather parts with a commercial leather balm.
