Care Guide

Avoid the washing machine. Leather gloves should always be cleaned by hand. Use a soft damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap or leather balm to remove dirt and stains.

Air dry only. Hang your gloves upright in a well-ventilated area. Some models include a small clip or carabiner — perfect for keeping them together while they dry.

Once your gloves are clean and (mostly) dry, you can apply a waterproofing coat to protect the leather and improve performance. While applying a waterproofing coating is optional, we generally recommend it as a best practice for maximum durability and weather resistance.

Shake out the glove to make sure there’s no grit or dirt inside the main hand chamber and finger cavities. Hand wash in lukewarm water. Don't machine wash (machines can be too rough) or dry clean. Don't use fabric softeners or bleach.

Gently squeeze water off, from the fingers to the wrist. Line dry. Position the gloves with the wrists pointing down. Shell gloves can be tumble dried on a low heat setting. When gloves are half dry, put them on and make a fist to restore their original shape. Don't place in the sun, or on a heater. Don't iron your gloves.

When water no longer beads and runs off the gloves after washing and drying, you’ll need to re-apply a durable water repellent (DWR). Use the waterproofing spray.
