Maintenance advice for ski gloves
Care and Feeding
As with any piece of equipment, proper care and maintenance will extend the useful life of glove sand mitts. Therefore never wring out wet gloves!
Never dry leather with direct heat! It will dry and crack the leather.
Remove from gear bag promptly and dry in an area with good air circulation.
Water Repellent Finishes
All KJUS gloves are manufactured with Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finishes. These treatments are designed to make water bead up on the outer surface. Over time these treatments wear off and water will no longer bead up. Instead the fabric wets out. The gloves should still be waterproof due to internal fabric coatings and waterproof membranes, but the breathability will be greatly reduced and the glove will feel colder due to evaporative heat loss. In fact, many consumers may think their gloves are leaking when in fact it is only their own sweat condensing inside the glove because it cannot escape through the cold, wet surface material. To keep the gloves performing at their peak breathability, they should be kept clean and treated periodically with an aftermarket waterproofing. When water no longer beads up on the surface or actually soaks into the material, it is time to retreat.
Cleaning
The surface of most gloves can be cleaned simply by gently rubbing the material with clean snow.
Fabric gloves can usually be hand washed with ‘sports wash’ or powdered detergent.
Be sure to rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent.
Soap has surfactants that reduce the surface tension of water and dramatically reduce waterproofness.
Be sure to never wring out gloves, it will ruin the internal stitching and lining materials.
Be careful if you dry-clean your hand wear. Insure your dry-cleaner knows how to clean your gloves.
