Product Information
Full details
The Sealskinz Acle Waterproof Gloves are designed for adults seeking a versatile, lightweight solution for everyday outdoor activities like walking, hiking, or commuting in unpredictable weather. These unisex gloves excel at providing a balance of thermal warmth and dexterity, utilizing a waterproof Aquasealz membrane to keep hands dry in rain, snow, or sleet; however, while they offer great protection, they are primarily suited for mild-to-moderate cold rather than extreme alpine conditions.

FAQs
Are these gloves machine washable?
No, they should be hand-washed at 30 degrees Celsius to protect the waterproof membrane.
Can I use these for cycling in the rain?
Yes, the S-grip palms provide excellent grip on handlebars in wet weather.
Do these gloves come in different sizes?
Yes, they are available in various sizes ranging from S to XL depending on the specific model variant.
Are these gloves fully waterproof or just water-resistant?
They are fully waterproof, featuring an Aquasealz membrane designed to block water entry completely.
Can I use my smartphone with these gloves on?
Yes, they are designed with touchscreen-compatible material on the fingertips.
Are these suitable for deep winter mountain climbing?
These are designed for everyday wear and light hiking. For extreme mountain conditions, you may require a heavier, insulated technical glove.
Troubleshooting
Touchscreen sensitivity is low
Ensure your fingertips are positioned correctly against the contact points. If the gloves are wet, wipe the touchscreen dry to improve responsiveness.
Gloves feel cold in extreme wind
While waterproof, these gloves are lightweight. Consider layering them under a larger shell mitt if you are heading into extreme, high-altitude wind chill.
Water seems to be getting inside
Check that the cuff is properly tucked under your sleeve to prevent water from running down the arm and into the glove opening.

Care Instructions
To maintain the integrity of the Aquasealz membrane, please adhere to the following:
- Hand Wash Only: Use cool water at a maximum of 30 degrees Celsius.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use bleach or aggressive detergents.
- Natural Drying: Hang the gloves to drip dry naturally. Do not use a tumble dryer or place them on a direct heat source like a radiator, as excessive heat can damage the waterproof membrane.
