Ah, your HYBRID gloves – those little marvels of technology that keep your hands warm even in the harshest conditions! But to keep them performing well and lasting longer, they deserve proper care.
1. Take care of the leather – that’s key!
All our HYBRID gloves have a goat leather palm, a fine material that needs some TLC:
✔️ After moisture: Came back soaked? Gently pat the leather with a dry cloth. Never use a radiator or direct sunlight – they ruin both the leather and the heating wires!
✔️ A bit of cream: Apply a leather care cream to prevent cracks. Supple leather means happy gloves (and happy hands).
✔️ Protected lining: Sprinkle a touch of talcum powder to absorb residual moisture. It protects the heating wires and avoids unpleasant surprises.
✔️ Anti-slip zones: Be gentle with the silicone grips – they’re made to last, but avoiding excess rubbing helps them stay in top shape.
2. If your gloves are textile… handle with care!
✔️ Hand wash only: Use lukewarm water and mild soap. Don’t soak them or wring them like an old rag.
✔️ Natural drying: Gently press out excess water (no twisting, please!) and let them air-dry, away from any heat source.
3. Golden rules for heated gloves – be gentle!
✔️ Handle with care: These gloves contain heating wires and electronics. Bending or mistreating them can damage them permanently.
✔️ No washing machines or tumble dryers: These are your gloves’ worst enemies.
✔️ Store them dry: Always dry your gloves completely before storing them. Keep them in a dry, dark place. Mould or electrical damage? Not on our watch!
Follow these tips and your HYBRID heated gloves will stay comfortable and efficient, ride after ride. As Professor Brain says: “If you want to travel far and stay warm – take care of your gloves.”
