Care for your gloves

• Always let the gloves dry slowly after use – especially if they have become damp from the inside.
• Avoid heaters, drying cabinets, and underfloor heating. Quick drying dries out the material and shortens its lifespan.
• Shape the gloves lightly while damp to maintain their fit.
• Store dry and airy – not crushed in a backpack or car.

Wipe off surface dirt with a damp cloth as soon as possible – it’s easier to remove dirt before it dries into the leather. Avoid dish soap, laundry detergent, or strong cleaners, and never put leather gloves in the washing machine.

• Use lukewarm water and, if needed, a mild soap intended for leather.
• Never scrub hard – work gently with a soft brush or cloth.
• Stains of blood, fat, or resin (common in hunting and outdoor life) are easiest to remove immediately while fresh, using lukewarm water and leather soap.
• Remove any detachable lining and let it air dry separately.

Leather is a living natural material. Without proper care, it dries out, loses flexibility, and cracks over time. For best results, we recommend using a leather wax developed for this purpose.

Leather Wax – Myr Outdoor
A robust leather wax with a beeswax base specially developed for leather gloves. Conditions, moisturizes, and protects the leather against moisture – perfect for outdoor gloves in sheepskin and leather.

• When should I wax? Wax when the leather starts to feel dry, stiff, or takes on a lighter, matte tone – as a guideline, usually 1–2 times per season with regular use.
• How to do it: Apply a thin layer and let it absorb slowly. Then wipe off the excess and wear the gloves lightly to soften them.
• Better a little and often than a lot at once – too much fat can make the leather sticky.
• Gloves with fur details or textile parts should only be waxed on the leather sections – avoid fur and fabric seams.

Store gloves dry, clean, and at room temperature – preferably in a cloth bag or open box with air circulation, not compressed in a sealed plastic bag, backpack, or car. Do not store them wet or dirty before summer; clean and wax them one last time before seasonal storage so they are ready to use next winter.

Gloves with lining, insulation, or waterproof membranes require a little extra care.

• Remove any removable lining and dry separately.
• Let the glove dry open, preferably with the fingers pointing down.
• Only wash if absolutely necessary – always follow the manufacturer's recommendations.
• After washing: re-impregnate if needed to maintain water repellency.

Seams and materials are made to withstand tough use, but if something does break, there are a few things worth knowing:

• Has a seam come undone? If a seam fails under normal use and it is not due to visible wear after long-term use, it may be a manufacturing defect. Contact us and we will assist you.
• How to make a claim: Contact us at hej@myroutdoor.se with pictures of the damage, your order number, and a brief description of what happened. We will get back to you with information about replacement or repair.
• Normal wear and tear that occurs after long and frequent use, such as worn surfaces or thinner leather in grip areas, is not covered by warranty but can often have its lifespan extended through regular waxing.
• Gloves purchased from retailers are primarily handled by the point of purchase, but feel free to contact us if you are unsure.

• Putting wet gloves in a drying cabinet or on a radiator.
• Storing damp gloves in sealed bags.
• Washing leather gloves in a machine.
• Using the wrong type of impregnation on leather.
