Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these gloves fully waterproof?

These mitts feature a water-repellent outer layer, but they are not classified as fully waterproof, meaning they are designed for snow and light rain rather than submersion.

Can I operate a smartphone while wearing these?

Yes, the convertible fold-back cap allows you to expose your fingers for full touchscreen functionality and precision tasks.

How do I maintain the leather palms?

Keep the leather clean and apply a leather conditioner occasionally to prevent cracking and maintain the water-repellent barrier.

Are these suitable for extreme arctic temperatures?

They are designed for cold weather with PrimaLoft Gold insulation, making them highly effective, but extreme arctic conditions may require an additional base-layer glove.

Is the magnetic closure safe for electronic equipment?

The magnets are small and designed for the glove closure; however, avoid placing them directly against sensitive magnetic storage media like legacy credit card strips.

Troubleshooting

Magnetic flap keeps falling down

Check the magnets for debris or metallic particles that might interfere with the closure. Wipe them clean with a dry cloth.

Leather palm becoming stiff after getting wet

Allow the gloves to air dry slowly away from direct sunlight or heat, then apply a high-quality leather conditioner to restore suppleness.

Gloves are not as warm as expected

Ensure the mitts fit properly; if they are too tight, they restrict circulation, preventing the insulation from working effectively.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent warmth-to-weight ratio from PrimaLoft insulation
  • High dexterity due to the fold-back mitt cap
  • Durable and grippy goatskin leather palm
  • Windproof construction protects against harsh weather
  • Secure magnetic closure for the thumb and finger flaps

Cons

  • Leather requires periodic conditioning to stay supple
  • Not fully waterproof in submersed conditions
  • Requires more maintenance than pure synthetic gloves

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your SealSkinz Walpole mitts, start by testing the fit to ensure the fingers do not feel restricted, which can impede blood flow and reduce warmth. For care, avoid machine washing the leather palms, as this can strip natural oils. Instead, spot clean the exterior with a damp cloth. If the goatskin leather becomes stiff or dry, apply a leather conditioner specifically formulated for outdoor gear. Always store the gloves in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources like radiators, as excessive heat can cause the leather to crack and the insulation to degrade.
