Usage and care tips

• Choose the right model according to the activity: liners for precision, hardshell for wet weather.
• Dry properly after use: avoid direct heat (no tumble drying). Let air dry on a gentle radiator if needed.
• Hand wash or according to the label. Water-repellent treatments can be reactivated according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• Store flat, away from moisture and direct light.

How to choose the right size?

Measure the circumference of your palm at the knuckles (without the thumb). Compare with the size guide provided. If you hesitate between two sizes and want to maintain mobility, take the larger size for insulated models. For liners, snug but not compressed is ideal.

Are they suitable for extreme conditions?

Yes, some models are designed for very cold or wet conditions. Choose an insulated model + waterproof membrane for extreme conditions. Check the insulation level and technical characteristics of the chosen model before heading out on an expedition.
