Using these gloves is a breeze. You can wear them as standalone gloves in milder winter weather. When it gets really cold, just slip them inside your heavier gloves for extra warmth. To use your touchscreen devices, you can simply use the thumb and forefinger of the gloves. When it comes to grip, the silicon printing on the palm helps you hold things firmly. If you start to sweat, use the microfiber thumb area to wipe it away. As for maintenance, it's best to follow the care instructions on the label. Usually, a gentle machine wash or hand wash in cold water is a good idea. Avoid using harsh detergents. Also, don't expose the gloves to high heat when drying, as it might damage the materials. And remember, the reflective accents are there to keep you visible in low light, so be sure to keep them clean for best results.
