Product Information

Full details

This guide is for adults seeking robust hand protection in extreme cold. The key benefit is superior warmth and waterproofing thanks to advanced insulation and membrane technology. A potential caveat is the split-finger design, which may take some adjustment for users accustomed to full mittens or gloves. These premier split-finger mittens offer a durable polyester exterior, a grippy goatskin leather palm, a waterproof and breathable Aquasealz™ membrane, and Primaloft Gold Insulation for exceptional thermal performance. Features include a secure clasp and adjustable cuff drawcords for a customized fit.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these mittens suitable for very cold weather?

Yes, the Primaloft Gold Insulation is specifically designed for performance in sub-zero temperatures, making them ideal for extreme cold.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the brand's sizing chart for accurate measurements. Typically, you would measure the circumference of your palm and the length of your hand.

Can I use my smartphone with these mittens on?

The split-finger design offers some dexterity, but touch screen compatibility is not a primary feature. You may need to remove a finger or the mitten for precise touchscreen use.

How often should I re-waterproof them?

The Aquasealz™ membrane is durable. Regular cleaning and conditioning of the leather are more critical. Re-waterproofing is generally not needed unless performance is noticeably degraded, which is unlikely with proper care.

Will my fingers get too hot if I don't need maximum warmth?

While designed for extreme cold, the breathable membrane helps manage moisture. For very mild conditions, they might be warmer than necessary, but the split-finger design does offer more ventilation than a full mitten.

What is the advantage of the split-finger design?

It provides a balance between the warmth of a mitten and the dexterity of a glove. It allows for better grip and control, and helps transfer heat between fingers for added warmth.

How do I care for the goatskin leather palm?

Clean off dirt with a damp cloth. Apply a specialized leather conditioner periodically to keep it supple and durable. Always allow the mittens to air dry naturally.

Troubleshooting

Mitten feels damp inside.

Ensure the outer shell and cuffs are clean. Check for any damage to the Aquasealz™ membrane. If washing, ensure they are completely dry before wearing. Consider that heavy sweating can sometimes lead to internal moisture, even with a breathable membrane.

Reduced warmth over time.

Insulation can compress over time. Ensure the mittens are not being stored compressed. Check for any damage to the Primaloft Gold Insulation. Proper cleaning and drying are essential to maintain loft.

Leather palm feels stiff.

Apply a quality leather conditioner specifically designed for outdoor gear. Avoid over-conditioning, which can make the leather too soft or damage the membrane. Ensure the leather is clean and dry before conditioning.

Clasp is difficult to use.

Ensure the clasp is free of debris. Try warming the plastic slightly in your hands if it feels stiff in extreme cold.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

These mittens require no specific setup. Simply put them on and adjust the elastic drawcords on the cuffs for a secure, comfortable fit. Use the clasp to keep them paired when not in use.

Compatibility:

Designed for adult unisex use, these mittens are compatible with a wide range of winter outdoor activities. They are suitable for anyone needing maximum warmth and waterproofing for their hands.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Hand wash using cold water and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly.
  • Drying: Drip dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Avoid machine washing, tumble drying, or using bleach, as these can damage the waterproof membrane and insulation.
  • Leather Care: Occasionally condition the goatskin leather palm with a suitable leather conditioner to maintain its suppleness and durability. Ensure any conditioner used is compatible with waterproof membranes.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
