FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for freezing temperatures?

They provide warmth for chilly days and light winter use, but they are not heavily insulated and are not intended for extreme cold-weather mountaineering.

Can I put these in the dryer?

No, you should never put these gloves in a tumble dryer. Excess heat will damage the Aquasealz membrane and the grip material.

Are they truly 100% waterproof?

Yes, they feature a waterproof membrane that keeps hands dry in rain, snow, and sleet.

Do these gloves come in different genders?

The Sealskinz Acle model is designed as a unisex product suitable for both men and women, provided the correct size is selected.

Will the grip pattern wear off over time?

While durable, the S-grip material is subject to normal wear and tear based on the intensity and frequency of use.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel tight or restrictive

These gloves run small by design; ensure you are using the correct size, and consider sizing up if you are between measurements.

Touchscreen sensitivity is low

Ensure the gloves are pulled fully onto the hand so that the conductive tip is in direct contact with your fingertip. Clean the screen of your device to ensure optimal input.

Water appears to be soaking into the outer fabric

The outer fabric is water-repellent, not waterproof itself. If it saturates, re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray designed for synthetic fabrics to restore the 'beading' effect.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longest lifespan for your Sealskinz Acle gloves, follow these maintenance guidelines:

Fit: Because these gloves tend to run small, we strongly recommend choosing one size larger than your usual glove size to ensure proper blood circulation and flexibility.
Washing: Machine wash your gloves at 30ºC using a mild detergent. Do not use fabric softeners as these can compromise the waterproof membrane performance.
Drying: Always allow the gloves to air-dry naturally. Hang them or lay them flat; avoid using high-heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as direct heat can damage the waterproof coating and synthetic fibers.
Compatibility: These are unisex gloves designed for adult use and are compatible with standard capacitive touchscreen devices.
