Choosing
Choosing gloves by temperature
X1 Lite and X2 Daily publish brand use guidance rather than a test or survival rating. X0 Kids and X3 Winter have no published numeric temperature rating. Choose a pair for your usual morning, then adjust for wind, wet weather, activity level, and how long you will be outside.
X1 Lite's brand use guidance is 5–15 °C (41–59 °F) for solo wear; it is water-repellent, not waterproof. X2 Daily's 0–10 °C (32–50 °F) solo range is also brand use guidance, with a waterproof soft-touch shell, a wind-blocking mid-layer, and a graphene-fiber fleece lining. It is built for wet-weather wear, not for soaking or submersion. Neither is an extreme-cold glove.
For colder conditions, steady rain, or longer exposure, use an appropriate shell or choose another category suited to the forecast. Treat each range as brand use guidance rather than a safety or survival claim.
Warmth tips
Common questions about staying warm.
These practical answers apply across the range. Use the product FAQ for model-specific features and boundaries.
Why are my hands cold even with gloves on?
Gloves work best as part of a warm outfit. Add layers to your torso, cover wrists and keep hands dry. Check that gloves and cuffs are not tight. Wind, moisture, activity and time outside all affect warmth.
How can I avoid sweaty gloves turning cold?
Adjust your pace or clothing before heavy sweating starts. Carry dry spare gloves for longer outings and change damp pairs. Dry gloves fully between uses; waterproof construction does not stop sweat from building up inside.
Does adding a glove liner always make hands warmer?
Only add a liner if your outer glove still allows easy finger movement. Tight layers compress insulation and can restrict circulation. Try the layers together before heading out, and choose a roomier outer glove if the fit feels squeezed.
What should I do if my fingers become numb outdoors?
Move indoors or into warm shelter and replace wet gloves. Do not rub numb skin or warm it directly on a heater. Seek medical help if frostbite is suspected, especially with persistent numbness, pale or waxy skin.
