Question 1

how to clean these gloves?

Accepted Answer

You should hand wash these gloves.  I put them in the washing machine and the sticky pads on the fingers started to come off.  You could also consider flipping them inside out, but this is not easy to do.

I like to wash my clothes, gloves, etc after I purchase and before I wear them.  Unfortunately, after the first wash, these gloves looked rather ragged because of the sticky pads coming off.  That said, I've washed the gloves since then, and the rest of the sticky pads don't really seem to be peeling off.  I was very disappointed given the price of the gloves.

I've continued to use the gloves because they are too expensive to simply replace.  Also, since I mainly wear them while driving, nobody else really seems them.  The gloves work fine and are better than the cotton ones I had before, they just look ragged.

That said, because of the hassle for washing these gloves, I would personally prefer if they didn't have the sticky pads.  I bought my gloves directly from Coolibar.

Question 2

Do these prevent getting a tan ? I hate the farmers tan I get on my hands.

Accepted Answer

These gloves should prevent  farmer hands due to the fabric and UPF factor. They ride up well past the wrist.
To prevent farmer arms you might  want to invest in a long sleeve shirt as well

Question 3

Are sunscreen ingredients added to the fabric of these gloves, or are the gloves just made of poly/spandex? Thanks.

Accepted Answer

From their website: 
Our fabrics use a combination of weave (tighter is better), color, weight and additions of the best active ingredients found in sunscreens, millions of the sun-bouncing minerals, titanium dioxide and zinc oxide infused at the fiber or fabric level. Even with multiple washings and exposure to sweat, chlorine and salt – our sun protection never washes out.

Question 4

the black do not give a size option...is that because one size fits all?

Accepted Answer

Hi, I have the gloves in pink and gray.  All colors should come in from XS to XL.  Click on the "select" to see the drop down for size selection.  If the selection shows in gray scale and if you cannot select, it means they run out of them in the size for now.  When I purchased the Pink one, I had to wait for my size to come back, too.
