Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these mittens truly waterproof?

Yes, the Swaffham Mitten features a three-layer Aquasealz construction with Fusion Control technology, designed to provide complete waterproofness.

What makes the insulation special?

They use Primaloft® Gold Insulation on the back of the hand and Primaloft® Gold Areogel Insulation behind the palm, offering advanced thermal performance and biodegradability.

Can I use these for everyday wear in cold weather?

While they offer excellent warmth, they are engineered for extreme cold and demanding outdoor activities. For casual use, they might be warmer than necessary.

How do I clean my Swaffham Mittens?

Hand wash only in cold water with a mild detergent. Do not bleach, use fabric softener, or tumble dry. Squeeze out excess water and air dry away from direct heat.

Will my hands get sweaty in these?

The mittens are made from a breathable fabric blend, and the Fusion Control technology helps manage moisture. However, high-intensity activities can still lead to some perspiration.

What is Fusion Control Technology?

Fusion Control is a technical bonding process that securely joins the waterproof, insulating, and breathable layers of the mitten, preventing movement and ensuring a cohesive, high-performance fit.

Can I use a washing machine to clean them?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the waterproof membrane and insulation. Hand washing is the only recommended cleaning method.

Troubleshooting

Mitten feels damp inside.

Ensure the mitten is completely dry before wearing. If frequently experiencing dampness, check that it is fully air-dried after washing and that it is not exposed to extreme moisture for prolonged periods without allowing it to dry.

Reduced grip on the palm.

Clean the sheepskin palm with a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry. Avoid using oils or conditioners not specifically designed for sheepskin leather.

Stiffness after drying.

Gently flex the mitten to soften the materials. Natural sheepskin can become stiff if dried improperly. Ensure it dries away from direct heat.

Seams feel uncomfortable.

The internal lining is designed to be seamless. If discomfort persists, ensure the mitten is the correct size and worn without excessive bulk underneath.
