FAQs

Are these mittens suitable for sub-zero temperatures?

Yes, the Primaloft Gold Insulation is specifically designed to provide excellent thermal protection even in sub-zero conditions.

How do I clean my Congham mittens?

Hand wash using cold water and a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Air dry them completely away from direct heat.

What is the main advantage of the split finger design?

The split finger design offers improved dexterity for tasks requiring finer motor skills compared to a traditional full mitten, while still retaining more warmth than a standard glove.

Can I use these for activities other than skiing?

Absolutely. They are suitable for a wide range of cold-weather activities such as winter hiking, mountaineering, ice climbing, and outdoor photography where warmth and protection are essential.

How do I ensure the best fit?

Measure your hand circumference and length according to the brand's sizing chart. Ensure the elastic drawcords on the cuffs are adjusted to create a snug fit around your wrist, preventing heat loss.

What does 'WP' in the product name stand for?

WP stands for 'Waterproof', indicating the presence of the Aquasealz™ waterproof membrane.

How do I maintain the goatskin leather palm?

After cleaning and drying, you can apply a specific leather conditioner for outdoor gear to keep the palm supple and water-resistant.

Troubleshooting

Hands feel cold despite wearing mittens

Ensure the wrist cuffs are properly tightened using the elastic drawcords to prevent cold air ingress. Check if the split-finger design is suitable for the specific activity; for extreme cold with minimal dexterity required, a full mitten might be warmer. Ensure the mittens are completely dry before wearing.

Mittens feel damp inside

This can be due to perspiration. The Aquasealz™ membrane is breathable, but high exertion can still lead to internal moisture. Allow mittens to air dry completely between uses. Ensure you are not overheating in them for the conditions.

Leather palm feels stiff or dry

Apply a suitable leather conditioner designed for outdoor gloves after cleaning and drying. This will restore suppleness and water repellency.

Clasp for pairing is difficult to use

Practice using the clasp mechanism. It is designed to be robust; ensure both parts are aligned correctly before attempting to connect.
