Frequently Asked Questions | Adventure Gloves
What’s the difference between waterproof and water resistant gloves?
In layman terms, the difference between water resistant and waterproof gloves is that one can withstand a drizzle, the other a downpour. Essentially, water resistant gloves will “resist” water penetration whereas waterproof gloves are impermeable to water (for a period of time).
Water resistant gloves are a great choice for wild adventures that may encounter some moisture. Throw on waterproof gloves for skiing, snowboarding, and snowball fights to combat the wet conditions you’ll find on the slopes.
What gloves are good for hiking?
When choosing gloves good for hiking, it’s all about the glove layers. Merino gloves are great for warmth however, they don’t cope with very wet and windy conditions. Pairing a merino glove with a softshell or windproof glove is a knockout combo for hiking adventures.
What are the best gloves for cold weather?
The best gloves for cold weather are designed to keep your hands warm. This could come from insulation, windproof materials or waterproof fabrics.
In our Adventure Glove collection, our Merino gloves will keep hands warm. Alternatively, our GORE-TEX Infinium gloves are 100% windproof. If you are looking for waterproof gloves, our snow glove collection is best.
Which gloves are best for winter bike riding?
We get it, biking in winter can be a hard slog. Make it easier with windproof gloves. They are the best option for winter bike riding, stopping wind in its tracks to keep your hands warm but still nimble on chilly commutes.
