Product Information

Full details

The Sealskinz Witton glove is designed for adults seeking robust protection in extreme cold weather. Its primary benefit is complete waterproofness combined with advanced insulation for maximum warmth. A potential consideration is that the heavy-duty nature might slightly reduce dexterity for very fine tasks. Key features include Aquasealz technology for waterproofing, PrimaLoft® Gold insulation, a premium goatskin leather palm, and an anti-slip lining.

FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for extreme cold temperatures?

Yes, the Witton gloves are specifically designed for extreme cold weather, featuring PrimaLoft® Gold insulation for maximum warmth.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided by Sealskinz. Generally, measure the circumference of your hand across the knuckles (excluding the thumb) and the length from your wrist to the tip of your middle finger. A proper fit should be snug but not restrict circulation.

Can I machine wash these gloves?

No, machine washing is not recommended. Hand wash only in cold water with a mild, non-detergent soap and air dry.

What makes them waterproof?

The gloves feature Aquasealz technology, a proprietary waterproof and breathable membrane integrated into their construction.

How often should I condition the leather palm?

The frequency depends on usage and environmental conditions. It's generally recommended to condition the leather palm every few months or whenever it appears dry or stiff to maintain its suppleness.

Will these gloves work for high-exertion activities like running?

While they offer breathability, their primary design is for warmth in extreme cold. For high-exertion activities, breathability might be a limiting factor, and a lighter, more breathable glove might be preferable.

What is PrimaLoft® Gold insulation?

PrimaLoft® Gold is a high-performance synthetic insulation known for its excellent warmth-to-weight ratio, water resistance, and compressibility, making it ideal for extreme cold conditions.

Troubleshooting

Water ingress despite being advertised as waterproof

Ensure the gloves are properly sized and that no gaps exist where water can enter. Check for any damage to the waterproof membrane. If damage is present, discontinue use. If no visible damage, try hand washing and air drying as per care instructions.

Hands feel cold even with the gloves on

Verify that the gloves are the correct size and not too tight, which can restrict blood flow. Ensure the inner lining is dry. For extremely cold conditions, consider wearing a thin liner glove underneath. Also, ensure the gloves have fully dried after washing.

Reduced grip effectiveness

Clean the leather palm with a slightly damp cloth to remove any dirt or oils that might be affecting the grip. Ensure the anti-slip lining is properly seated and not bunched up.

Leather feels stiff or dry

Apply a small amount of dedicated leather conditioner to the palm and fingers. Allow it to soak in and then gently wipe off any excess. Repeat if necessary after full drying.

  • Durable and comfortable goatskin leather palm.
  • Enhanced grip for secure handling.
  • Designed for extreme cold weather conditions.

Cons

  • May have reduced dexterity for intricate tasks due to heavy-duty construction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Sealskinz Witton gloves are ready to wear straight out of the packaging. Ensure you select the correct size for a snug yet comfortable fit, allowing for natural hand movement without being too tight, which could restrict circulation and reduce warmth.

Compatibility: These gloves are designed for unisex adult use and are suitable for a wide range of cold-weather activities. They are compatible with general outdoor gear and can be worn in conjunction with other accessories like wrist gaiters.

Care: To maintain the integrity and performance of your gloves:

  1. Cleaning: Hand wash using cold water and a mild, non-detergent soap. Rinse thoroughly.
  2. Drying: Hang to dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources such as radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the waterproof membrane and leather.
  3. Leather Conditioning: Periodically condition the goatskin leather palm with a suitable leather conditioner to keep it supple and prevent drying or cracking. Apply sparingly and allow to absorb fully before wearing.
