FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for snowboarding as well as skiing?

Yes, the robust construction, waterproofness, and insulation make them suitable for snowboarding and other snow sports where hand protection is crucial.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the brand's sizing chart, typically found on their website or in product listings, and measure your hand circumference for the best fit.

Can I use these gloves for activities other than skiing?

While designed for skiing, their waterproof and thermal properties make them excellent for any cold-weather outdoor activity such as ice climbing, snowshoeing, or even working in cold conditions.

How do I re-waterproof the gloves if needed?

For significant re-waterproofing, consult the manufacturer's recommendations. Specialized sprays for waterproof gloves and leather can sometimes be used, but always test on an inconspicuous area first.

What is the main difference between this model and other Sealskinz gloves?

This model features premium goatskin leather palm and superior Primaloft® Gold Insulation, making it a top-tier option for extreme cold and demanding ski use, combining advanced technical features with high-quality materials.

Are the gloves machine washable?

It is recommended to hand wash these gloves in cold water with a mild detergent to preserve the waterproof membrane and leather components. Machine washing is not advised.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel damp inside

Ensure the gloves are completely dry before wearing. If they are consistently damp, check that they were washed and dried according to care instructions. The waterproof membrane may be compromised if damaged.

Reduced grip on the palm

Clean the leather palm with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or residue. If the leather feels dry, apply a specialized leather conditioner.

Elastic drawcord is not secure

Check the drawcord for any fraying or damage. Ensure the stopper mechanism is functioning correctly. If damaged, contact customer support for replacement parts.
