6. Troubleshooting
While the SHOWA Atlas 620 gloves are designed for durability and performance, occasional issues may arise.
Common Inquiries:
- Incorrect Quantity Received: If the quantity of gloves received does not match your order, please contact your retailer or the point of purchase directly for resolution. This is typically a shipping or packaging error, not a product defect.
- Reduced Flexibility: If gloves feel stiff, ensure they are stored in a moderate temperature environment. PVC can become less flexible in very cold conditions but should regain flexibility at room temperature.
- Unusual Odor: Ensure gloves are thoroughly cleaned and dried after each use to prevent odor buildup from moisture or contaminants.
