Product Information

Full details

The Sealskinz Gissing Waterproof Gloves are designed for adults seeking reliable hand protection in cold, wet outdoor conditions. Their key benefit is the Fusion Control technology, which integrates waterproofness, insulation, and breathability into a single, cohesive glove. A potential caveat is their lightweight design, which may offer less insulation for extreme sub-zero temperatures compared to heavier-duty winter gloves. These gloves feature a three-layer Aquasealz technology for superior waterproofing, a non-slip polyurethane palm for enhanced grip, and a Coolmax lining for warmth and comfort.

FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for very cold, icy conditions?

The Gissing gloves offer warmth and waterproofness but are designed as lightweight, all-weather gloves. For extreme sub-zero temperatures, consider a more heavily insulated glove.

How do I know if I have the right size?

A properly fitting glove should feel snug but not tight. You should be able to move your fingers freely without restriction. Refer to the brand's sizing chart for specific measurements.

Can I use these gloves for tasks involving sharp objects?

While durable, these gloves are primarily designed for weather protection and dexterity, not for heavy-duty cut or abrasion resistance. Use caution when handling sharp objects.

How often should I re-waterproof my gloves?

The need for re-waterproofing depends on usage. If you notice water is no longer beading on the surface or is soaking into the outer fabric, it's time to apply a suitable waterproof treatment.

What does 'Fusion Control' mean?

Fusion Control is a technical bonding process that combines the waterproof membrane, insulation, and breathable fabric layers into a single, cohesive unit, ensuring all three functions work effectively together.

Can I wear these for sports like skiing?

They are suitable for general outdoor activities in cold, wet conditions. For intense skiing or snowboarding in deep snow and extreme cold, gloves with higher insulation and specific ski features might be preferable.

Troubleshooting

Hands feel damp inside

This could be due to perspiration. Ensure you have the correct size gloves; a too-tight fit can impede moisture management. If the dampness is persistent and significant, check if the waterproof membrane is compromised or if the gloves require re-waterproofing treatment after extended use.

Touchscreen functionality is inconsistent

Ensure the touchscreen-compatible areas (index finger and thumb) are clean and dry. Accumulated dirt or moisture can interfere with conductivity. For best results, use a light, direct touch.

Glove material feels stiff after washing

This may be due to improper drying. Ensure gloves are air-dried naturally, away from direct heat. Avoid using fabric softeners during washing, as they can affect material flexibility.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof and breathable performance
  • Secure grip thanks to the polyurethane palm
  • Comfortable and warm with Coolmax lining
  • Maintains dexterity for outdoor tasks
  • Touchscreen compatible for convenience

Cons

  • May not be warm enough for extreme sub-zero conditions
  • Lightweight design might be less durable for highly abrasive use
  • Specific cleaning instructions required to maintain waterproofness

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These gloves require no setup; simply put them on. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal performance and comfort.

Compatibility: The index finger and thumb are designed to be touchscreen friendly, allowing interaction with most capacitive touchscreens. Compatibility is generally high with modern smartphones and tablets.

Care: To maintain the waterproof and breathable properties of the gloves:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a cool or warm cycle (40°C/104°F) with a small amount of liquid detergent. Do not use powder detergent or fabric softeners, as these can clog the pores and impair breathability and waterproofness.
  2. Drying: Do not tumble dry. Hang dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Ensure gloves are completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
