FAQs

Are these mittens suitable for very cold, sub-zero temperatures?

Yes, the Primaloft® Gold Insulation is specifically designed to thrive in sub-zero temperatures, making these mittens highly effective for extreme cold conditions.

How does the split-finger design improve functionality?

The split-finger design allows for greater individual finger movement and dexterity compared to a traditional mitten, making it easier to perform tasks like adjusting gear or using electronic devices.

Can I machine wash these mittens?

It is not recommended to machine wash these mittens. Hand wash gently with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary, and always air dry away from heat.

How do I ensure the waterproof protection lasts?

Avoid harsh detergents and tumble drying. Regularly check the exterior for damage and consider reapplying a DWR treatment if you notice a decrease in water repellency.

What is the advantage of the goatskin leather palm?

Goatskin leather provides a natural feel, excellent durability, and a reliable grip, enhancing control when handling equipment in cold, wet conditions.

How do I store the mittens when not in use?

Use the included clasp to clip both mittens together. This prevents them from getting separated and keeps them organized.

Are these mittens unisex?

Yes, the design is unisex, catering to adult users of any gender.

Troubleshooting

Hands feel cold despite wearing mittens

Ensure the elastic drawcords and wrist straps are tightened to create a secure seal. Check if the split-finger design is properly accommodating your fingers for optimal heat circulation. Consider layering a thin liner glove if extreme cold persists.

Water seeping through the material

Inspect the mitten for any damage to the waterproof membrane or seams. Ensure the cuffs are sealed correctly over or under your jacket sleeves. Re-waterproof the exterior with a suitable DWR treatment if necessary.

Leather palm feels stiff

Apply a small amount of leather conditioner specifically designed for gloves. Gently massage it into the leather and allow it to absorb before wiping off any excess. Air dry completely.

Difficult to find the right fit

Refer to the sizing guide provided by Sealskinz. Ensure you are measuring your hand correctly. The split-finger design might feel different initially; try wearing them around the house to get accustomed to the fit.
