Product Information

Full details

The Sealskinz Thornham Solo Merino Mitt is an ideal choice for adults seeking lightweight, versatile hand warmth during the cooler months. Designed to offer the superior natural insulation of merino wool, these fingerless mitts excel at temperature regulation while maintaining full tactile dexterity for tasks like handling phones, keys, or camera gear. While they provide excellent comfort as a standalone layer or as a base layer under waterproof shells, they are not intended for use as a primary barrier against heavy rain or snow due to their breathable, non-waterproof construction.

FAQs

Are these mitts waterproof?

No, they are made from natural merino wool and are not waterproof. They are designed for warmth and breathability.

Can I wear these under other gloves?

Yes, their slim design makes them an excellent base layer for additional protection under heavier gloves.

Are they suitable for touchscreen use?

Since they are fingerless, you can use your devices directly with your fingertips.

How do I wash them?

Machine wash on a cool, gentle wool cycle or hand wash. Always air dry.

Is the material itchy?

Merino wool is much finer than traditional wool and is typically very soft and comfortable against the skin.

Are they unisex?

Yes, the design and fit are suitable for both men and women.

Troubleshooting

Mitts feel itchy or uncomfortable

Ensure they are washed with a dedicated wool conditioner or fabric softener to soften the fibers.

Material pilling after use

Pilling is a natural characteristic of high-quality merino wool. Use a fabric shaver or wool comb to gently remove surface lint.

Mitts feel loose or stretched

Reshape the mitts while damp after washing and allow them to dry flat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  • Washing: Use a gentle wool wash cycle in the machine or hand wash in cool water.
  • Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent shrinking or damage to the fibers.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place and ensure they are clean before long-term seasonal storage to prevent moth damage.
