4.1 General Use

These gloves are suitable for various tasks in cold and wet environments where hand protection, grip, and dexterity are required. Always ensure the gloves are clean and dry before use for optimal performance.

4.2 Touchscreen Functionality

The fingertips of these gloves are designed to interact with capacitive touchscreens. To ensure effective touchscreen operation:

• Ensure your fingertips are fully extended into the glove's finger tips.
• Use the pad of your finger, not the nail, for interaction.
• Clean your device's screen regularly to remove dirt or smudges that may interfere with touch sensitivity.
• In extremely cold conditions, touchscreen responsiveness may vary depending on the device and glove material temperature.

5. Maintenance and Care

5.1 Cleaning

To maintain the performance and longevity of your gloves:

• Hand wash with mild soap and lukewarm water.
• Do not use harsh detergents, bleach, or solvents, as these can damage the materials and protective coatings.
• Gently squeeze out excess water. Do not wring.

5.2 Drying

• Air dry thoroughly at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources (e.g., radiators, open flames).
• Ensure gloves are completely dry before storage to prevent mildew or odor.

5.3 Storage

• Store gloves in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Keep away from sharp objects or chemicals that could damage the material.

6. Troubleshooting

• Check Fit: Ensure your fingers are fully extended into the glove tips. A loose fit can prevent proper contact.
• Clean Screen: Wipe your device's screen to remove any dirt, moisture, or smudges.
