What does the dexterity of a glove refer to?

A glove’s dexterity corresponds to its ability to handle objects with ease. Our liner gloves have been given a score from 1 to 5 in a laboratory study. The closer the score is to 5, the easier it is to handle objects as though you were not wearing gloves. In particular, tests were done to measure how easily it is to get a jacket on and handle the zipper while wearing these liner gloves.

Warmth

When worn under hiking gloves, these liner gloves will give you 3°C of additional warmth. This corresponds to the ambient temperature at which 100% of testers felt comfortable. For better protection, wear gloves over the liner glove.

How is usage temperature measured?

All our gloves are lab-tested using a thermal hand to determine their level of insulation and minimum temperature rating. The temperature ratings (recommended and limit) come from a study with a test panel of 23 walkers exposed to temperatures ranging from 5°C to -20°C and 10 km/h (6 mph) winds. These temperature ratings are only valid in walking conditions.

How to effectively protect your hands from the cold

Optimize insulation by applying the layering principle. Wearing liner gloves under your gloves creates several air pockets that effectively insulate your hands from the cold. The gloves must be big enough not to compress your fingers. This is because compression slows down blood flow in the fingers, which prevents them from staying warm.

How to keep your hands warm with the right clothing.

When active, the body generates heat that is preserved by your clothing’s thermal insulation. If clothing is inadequate, your body cools and circulation to your hands and feet drops to keep your upper body warm. Your clothing therefore plays a role in keeping your hands warm.

How to maintain your merino wool liner gloves

We recommend that you machine wash your merino wool liner gloves at 30°C on a normal cycle, preferably with liquid detergent. Dry them on a flat surface, away from moisture and all sources of heat. This could damage the fibre and make them lose their shape. Never put them in the dryer.

Warning!

These gloves do not protect against the spread of viruses or microbes.
