FAQ: Warranty, Guarantee & Complaints

Warranty, Guarantee & Complaints

We stand behind our products. Here you will find all important information about warranty, guarantee, and the complaint process.

What do I do if my product is defective?

No problem – we will take care of it! Write to us via the contact form and include the following:

  1. Photo or short video of the defect
  2. Order number (starts with AS...)
  3. Brief description: When did the defect occur?

We will get back to you within 24 hours (Mon–Fri) with a solution.

What warranty applies?

Statutory guarantee (2 years)

As a customer, you are legally entitled to a 2-year guarantee from the date of purchase.

This applies to:

  • Material defects (e.g., cracks, seams coming undone)
  • Manufacturing defects (e.g., waterproofing failure in gloves)
  • Functional defects (e.g., defective fastening system)

This does not apply to:

  • Normal wear and tear from use
  • Damage caused by improper care or misuse
  • External impacts (falls, accidents)

How does a complaint process work?

Step 1: Fill out the contact form with a photo + order number.

Step 2: We will review and respond within 24 hours (Mon–Fri).

Step 3: Solution depending on the case:

  • Free replacement (for manufacturing/material defects)
  • Refund (if no replacement is available)
  • Voucher in goodwill cases

Good to know: In most cases, you do not have to return the product.

My gloves are no longer waterproof – what should I do?

Waterproofing can decrease due to frequent cleaning – this is normal for all weatherproof textile gloves. Our recommendation:

  1. Rinse gloves with clear water (no detergent)
  2. Treat with textile waterproofing spray (e.g., Nikwax or Grangers)
  3. Let air dry – do not use a dryer

If waterproofing decreases after only a few months despite care → possible manufacturing defect → please contact us.

Received wrong or damaged product?

Please report within 14 days of receipt via the contact form with:

  • Photo of the wrong/damaged item
  • Order number (AS...)
  • If applicable, photo of the shipping box

We will send you a free replacement – without returning the wrong item.

Goodwill beyond the guarantee?

We review each case individually. In justified cases, we also assist after the statutory guarantee period has expired.

Frequently Asked Questions

Bis wie viel °C sind die Handschuhe geeignet?

Die Thermo Handschuhe 3.0 sind ideal für Temperaturen zwischen 0 °C und 10 °C. Da jeder Mensch ein anderes Kälteempfinden hat, kann das Wärmegefühl individuell variieren. Für Fahrten bei Minusgraden empfehlen wir unsere PolarTherm Winter Handschuhe 2.0 – sie halten deine Hände warm bis –10 °C.

Für welche Sportarten sind die Handschuhe geeignet?

Die Premium Thermo Fahrrad Handschuhe 3.0 sind vielseitig einsetzbar: beim Radfahren, Laufen, Fußballspielen, Wandern oder bei anderen Outdoor-Aktivitäten. Dank ihrer rutschfesten Silikonbeschichtung hast du sicheren Grip am Lenker, auch bei Wind oder leichtem Regen.

Halten die Handschuhe Regen aus?

Die Thermo Handschuhe 3.0 sind wasserabweisend, aber nicht vollständig wasserdicht. Leichter Regen und Spritzwasser sind kein Problem – sie schützen deine Hände zuverlässig beim Radfahren. Bei dauerhaft starkem Regen empfehlen wir unsere PolarTherm Winter Handschuhe 2.0 – die sind 100 % wasserdicht.

Product doesn't fit?

No problem! Exchanges are free with us and can be done easily in our returns portal automatically.

Warum unsere Thermo Handschuhe anders sind

Viele Winterhandschuhe sind dick, steif und schränken das Gefühl in den Fingern ein.
Unsere Fahrradhandschuhe sind anders: Sie kombinieren Bewegungsfreiheit, präzises Lenkergefühl und angenehme Wärme –
ganz ohne klobiges Design oder Neopren-Schichten, die das Gefühl beim Biken mindern.

✔ ThermoCore Fleece für Wärme ohne Hitzestau
✔ Atmungsaktiv & windabweisend
✔ Touchscreen-kompatibel
✔ Rutschfester Grip
✔ Reflexionsstreifen für Sichtbarkeit im Dunkeln
✔ Leichtes Material für hohe Bewegungsfreiheit

Welche Größe brauche ich?

Miss die Breite deiner Handfläche an der breitesten Stelle, ohne Daumen. In der Größentabelle bei den Produktbildern findest du dazu die passende Größe von S bis XXXL. Liegst du zwischen zwei Größen, nimm die größere. Passt sie trotzdem nicht, tauschst du kostenlos um.

How long does the shipping take?

We ship our goods from our warehouses in Leipzig and Berlin. Any order placed before 4 PM is usually shipped the same day with DHL and arrives at the customer within 1-3 business days.
