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.

Troubleshooting
Mitts feel itchy or uncomfortable
Ensure they are washed with a dedicated wool conditioner or fabric softener to soften the fibers.
