- +FAQ
- +How waterproof are these gloves?
-
- The fabric is completely waterproof, but if you are riding in persistent and/or heavy rain - water will eventually run down your arms and sneak into your gloves.
- Also with extended exercise in warmish conditions you are likely to overload the breathable membrane and get sweaty/damp hands.
- So not bulletproof, but in those conditions they will still keep your hands drier than standard gloves.
- +Washing
-
- All Ground Effect clothing enjoys a warm 40ºC machine wash. Try to avoid cold-water detergents and those with bleach, 'oxygen whitener' or fabric softener.
- The cold-water varieties have little enzymes that are super-charged to brave the cold but can damage technical fabrics and cause skin irritation.
- Bleach rots natural fibres like merino, strips the dye, attacks laminates of waterproof fabrics and can also cause skin irritation.
- Sodium Percarbonate (the main ingredient in oxygen whitener) can make colours run.
- Fabric softener and stuff containing it like wool wash destroys the water repellent finish on waterproof and water resistant fabrics, and can cause colours to run.
- As a rule of thumb, a product that is easy on the planet is also easy on your body. Select a mild plant-based soap like Ecostore, Earthwise or Aware.
- Hand washing is sometimes the only option on tour, but a washing machine rinses more thoroughly and is preferable if you have the choice.
- Most Ground Effect gear dries super-fast so hanging on the line or drooping over the bedpost is generally the best option. High heat can damage some fabrics so if you do take your threads for a spin, set the device on 'medium' or 'warm' rather than hot. A lap in the dryer is recommended for your rain jacket, after it has dried on the line, as it helps recharge its water repellant finish.

Seal Skinz Gloves
I used to get cold toes and fingers cycling in early mornings - now it’s just the toes I have to work on. These gloves a good for rain and wind but, unsurprisingly, struggled with a -5 ride I did one morning. Note the large is not overly generous so if you are between sizes, go up one. The fingers fitted well but the thumb was a bit tighter.

Dry and warm - mostly!
I've been after some winter gloves to replace my much loved Ground Effect winter gloves that are now about 10 years old and have developed a split in a seam. These seemed an ideal option given they are both warm and waterproof. Firstly, they are definitely waterproof - well tested in that regard. Secondly, they are definitely warm. A couple of wee niggles that are worth pointing out though - they are not exceptionally breathable and i have found my hands getting wet from the inside. I have managed this by using them with a pair of polypropelene liner gloves and they are now perfect - warm and dry from both directions. The second thing I found is the finger length is quite long and there is definitely an overhang between where my fingers end and the end of the glove. Not a major issue but worth noting. So, 4/5 for these without the prolypropelene liners and 5/5 with them.

Waterproof gloves
These gloves are anything but waterproof! I was in a brief shower and my hands got soaked. It was then very difficult getting them on again later due to the inner layer being hard to get fingers in.

Hi Robin. Sounds like they are not doing the trick for you. We need to take a look at them. Could you fire them back to us in the post: Freepost 1861, Ground Effect, PO Box 4536, Christchurch. Pedal on. Ernie
