1. What sort of activities can I use these leather gloves for?
The Lightweight Give'r Gloves are perfect for a wide range of activities. Whether you're going for a hike or a bike, setting up your kids' camp, or building a bonfire, these leather work gloves can meet your needs. They're tough and durable, but also lightweight and comfortable, so you can wear them all day without feeling weighed down. Plus, the leather construction ensures that your hands will be well protected from the elements, rain or shine.
2. On first wear, my Give'r gloves are snug — is this normal?
Yes! Our leather gloves are designed to fit snugly at first, as they'll begin breaking in on the first use. The leather glove itself will gradually mold to your individual hands the more you use them, becoming an extension of your hand and fingers for a comfortable, tailored fit. We recommend breaking in your work gloves by using them for light activities at first, such as household chores or gardening. The more you use them, the better they'll fit and the more comfortable they'll be.
3. Can I expedite the break-in process for these leather gloves?
When it comes to the best gloves, having the perfect fit is key to both performance and overall comfort as the wearer. That's why we always recommend breaking in your Lightweight Give'r gloves before you take them out on the trail. This time and love will give you a final result you'll be stoked on. However, we also understand that breaking in a pair of great gloves can take time. If you want to expedite the break-in process, try our Oven Method!
4. How can I make these leather gloves last as long as possible?
The key to making our leather gloves last as long as possible is patience and proper storage. First and foremost, always take your time putting your work gloves on and taking them off. This may seem like common sense, but it's easy to rush and pull the seams out of place. In addition, make sure you haven't stretched the leather gloves out of shape — this will cause them to wear down more quickly.
If you're not going to be using these great gloves for an extended period of time, it's important to store them in a cool, dry place. This will help to prevent the leather from cracking and becoming brittle.
With a little bit of patience and proper care, your leather gloves will last for years to come.
5. Can I wax the Lightweight Give'r Gloves?
While your Lightweight Give'r gloves come unwaxed, you can wax them yourself if you want some additional weatherproofing. First, make sure the work gloves are clean and free of any dirt or debris. Then, heat up the wax. You can do this by microwaving the wax for a few seconds, or by melting it over a stovetop. Be careful not to overheat the wax, or it could damage the leather gloves.
Once the wax is melted, apply it liberally to the leather gloves. You may want to use a brush to help distribute the wax evenly. Let the work gloves sit for a few minutes so the wax can soak in. Then, buff them with a cloth to remove any excess wax.
If you wax your leather gloves regularly, they'll stay in good condition for a long time. The wax will help protect the leather from the elements, and it will also make them more water-resistant.
