FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for extreme cold?

These are lightweight gloves designed for cold and wet weather. While they offer warmth and waterproofness, they may not provide sufficient insulation for extreme sub-zero temperatures. For very cold conditions, consider layering with a warmer glove or using a more heavily insulated model.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the size guide provided: S - Mens 6-7, Womens 5-6; M - Mens 8-9, Womens 7; L - Mens 9-10, Womens 8; XL - Mens 10-11, Womens 9; XXL - Mens 11-12, Womens 10. Measure your hand circumference for the best fit.

Can I wear these for activities other than hiking?

Yes, the gloves are versatile and suitable for various outdoor activities including cycling, running, fishing, photography, and general outdoor work in wet and cold conditions where dexterity and grip are important.

How do I clean the touchscreen fingertips?

The fingertips should be kept clean and dry. You can gently wipe them with a soft, dry cloth to remove any dirt or residue that might affect sensitivity.

What does 'Fusion Control' mean?

Fusion Control is a technical bonding process used by Sealskinz that integrates the waterproof membrane, insulation, and breathable outer layers into a single, cohesive unit within the glove. This ensures optimal performance and durability.

How long do the waterproof properties last?

With proper care and washing, the waterproof properties are designed to last for the lifespan of the glove. Avoid harsh chemicals, high heat drying, and physical damage to the membrane.

Are these gloves insulated?

Yes, they feature a Coolmax lining for warmth and are constructed with multiple layers for insulation against the cold. However, they are considered lightweight and may require a liner for extreme cold.

Troubleshooting

Hands feel damp inside the gloves.

Ensure the gloves are completely dry before wearing. If the issue persists, the waterproof membrane may be compromised; check for damage and consider replacement if necessary. Ensure the correct size is being worn, as a poor fit can cause internal moisture from sweat.

Reduced touchscreen functionality.

Ensure the fingertips are clean and dry. Gently rub the touchscreen area with a clean, dry cloth. If the issue persists, the touchscreen sensitivity may be reduced due to external conditions or wear and tear on the fingertip material.

Gloves feel stiff or lose flexibility.

This can sometimes occur after washing or prolonged storage. Gently flex the gloves by hand. Avoid using heat to soften them. If the material is dry, a very light application of a specialized fabric conditioner for technical outerwear might help, but always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Loss of grip on the palm.

Clean the polyurethane palm with a damp cloth and mild soap, then rinse and air dry. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can degrade the material.
