FAQs

Are these gloves touch-screen compatible?

No, due to the heavy-duty goatskin leather construction, they are not designed for direct touch-screen interaction.

Can I wash the Congham mittens in a machine?

It is not recommended. Machine washing can damage the waterproof membrane and dry out the leather. Spot clean only.

What is the primary benefit of the split finger design?

It allows your fingers to share warmth, which is much more efficient than isolating each finger, while still allowing slightly more dexterity than a standard mitten.

Are these suitable for mild weather?

These are heavy-duty mittens meant for extreme, sub-zero conditions and may cause overheating in mild temperatures.

How should I store them during the off-season?

Store them in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight, ideally keeping them clipped together using the integrated clasp.

Troubleshooting

Hands feel cold despite insulation

Ensure the wrist drawcord is fully tightened to trap heat inside and check that the gloves are not too tight, which can restrict blood flow.

Water penetrating the leather

Leather is naturally porous over time; apply a leather-specific waterproofing wax to restore the water-repellent finish.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior warmth provided by Primaloft Gold insulation
  • Reliable waterproof protection in wet climates
  • High-quality, durable goatskin leather construction
  • Effective heat sharing design due to split finger configuration

Cons

  • Bulky design reduces tactile sensitivity for fine tasks
  • Leather requires periodic maintenance to stay supple
  • Not intended for high-intensity activity where overheating is a risk

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maximize the life of your Congham mittens, ensure the elastic drawcord is snug but not overtightened before heading into wind or snow. For compatibility, these mittens are generally meant to be worn over minimal base-layer gloves if extra insulation is needed, though they are warm enough to be worn alone. To care for the goatskin leather, wipe away dirt with a damp cloth and allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources. Avoid machine washing to protect the structural integrity of the leather and the waterproof membrane; use a specialized leather conditioner periodically to prevent cracking.
