Professor Brain explains how to take your gloves off properly so they last

Taking off your gloves feels so instinctive that you hardly think about it – and that’s exactly when mistakes creep in! Here’s why, and how, to remove your gloves the right way so they stay in perfect shape for a long time.


Why does this small gesture matter?
Your heated (or non‑heated) gloves are tiny engineering marvels. Inside, there’s a warm lining and a waterproof membrane. These layers are carefully fixed at the fingertips with… glue. Yes, glue! And even the best glue has limits:



  • Resistance to tearing: Yank too hard and you risk pulling the membrane or lining loose. Result: the lining comes out with your hand. Comfort disappears, and getting the gloves back on becomes a nightmare.

  • Cold and heat: Cold can make the glue brittle, heat can soften it. Sudden tugs? Best avoided.


Handle your gloves gently and they’ll enjoy a long life full of adventures.


How to take your gloves off the right way
1 – Free one finger at a time
No ripping them off like a sock, and never pull by the cuff! Gently pinch each finger, one after the other, and slide it out. Yes – all five fingers, please! This avoids stressing the glued points.


2 – Keep your teeth out of it
Using your teeth to grab a fingertip? Stop right there. It’s risky for your gloves, not classy, and hardly hygienic.


3 – A helping hand to finish
Once several fingers are free, grab as many freed fingertips as you can and keep pulling gently. Voilà – gloves removed with style and ready to protect you again.


Professor Brain’s ultimate tip
Remember: taking your gloves off properly preserves their lifespan. A simple habit that makes all the difference in the long run.
