Glovens for Gloves Arvidsjaur Mitts.
Take care of the gloves and they will take care of you. With regular maintenance you get the most out of your gloves -for many years to come. Remember that the gloves get better and better the more they are used, in the beginning both leather and sailing cloth can be less compliant than after a period of use. Read our maintenance advice below.
Washing
With probability, your gloves will be used during tough periods and that is exactly what they are made for. Do not clean the gloves just because, as the protected wax in leather and fabric slowly disappears and needs to be replenished. These are also gloves that look better over time. The leather gets nicely darkened and the sailing cloth gets a rough surface with its wax. The best way is to brush on any stains, preferably use a dry brush at first and switch to lukewarm water if needed. Soap can be added as an extra complement. The sailing fabric / canvas fabric is very durable so you can absolutely scrub with some violence. Allow to dry well ventilated. If you think the fabric looks stained, use a hair dryer or a hot air gun that is smoothed the wax.
Drying
The glove will get wet on the outside as moisture goes through the seams (to grow in the leather occasionally reduces the penetration in seams). Over time, the glove will also be moist on the inside of the moisture of your hands, it usually takes many hours for a hand to affect the inside of the glove.
- No.1 - The absolute fastest way to dry the gloves is with a shoe dryer where you press the air hose through the manchequet, then the gloves are dry in a couple of half hours.
- No. 2 - Press something into the glove's manchequet that holds up the air flow (eg an empty toilet roll) and place the gloves standing on an element. The glove will quickly dry up.
- No. 3 - as according to paragraph 2, keep the mancheget's opening with free air flow and place in a place where the air can circuelly
Note! Never turn the gloves in and out. Also, do not twist them "like a dishcloth" (it damages the membrane).
After a period of use, lubricate the gloves with leather fat. We recommend organotex leather wax which is a completely bio -based wax. For you as a customer you can use our already good price with a 10% discount, use code: Myr10.
