Product Information

Full details

The Sealskinz Swaffham Mitten in Black is designed for adults seeking superior protection and dexterity in extreme cold weather. Its key benefit is advanced waterproof insulation, keeping hands warm and dry without sacrificing usability. A potential caveat is its mitten design, which may offer less fine motor control than gloves for some tasks. This lightweight mitten utilizes three-layer Aquasealz technology and Fusion Control for integrated waterproofness, insulation, and breathability, featuring Primaloft® insulation and a sheepskin leather palm for grip and warmth.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these mittens suitable for very cold temperatures?

Yes, the Swaffham Mittens are designed with Primaloft® Gold Insulation and a merino wool lining, making them highly effective for extreme cold weather conditions.

Can I use my smartphone with these mittens on?

While the sheepskin palm offers some dexterity, using touchscreens might be challenging due to the mitten design. They are not specifically designed for touchscreen compatibility.

How do I clean the sheepskin leather palm?

Gently wipe the sheepskin palm with a slightly damp cloth. For conditioning and maintaining suppleness, use a dedicated sheepskin or leather conditioner, applying it sparingly.

What does 'Fusion Control' mean?

Fusion Control is an advanced bonding process used by Sealskinz that integrates the waterproof membrane, insulation, and internal lining into a single, cohesive unit. This enhances durability, comfort, and performance.

Are these mittens unisex?

Yes, the Swaffham Mittens are designed with a unisex fit, suitable for both men and women.

What is the main difference between a mitten and a glove?

A mitten has a single compartment for all four fingers and a separate thumb, while a glove has individual compartments for each finger and the thumb. Mittens generally offer more warmth due to better heat retention between fingers, while gloves offer greater dexterity.

How do I ensure I choose the correct size?

Refer to the brand's sizing guide, typically involving measuring the circumference of your hand. It is recommended to get a snug but not overly tight fit for optimal warmth and performance.

Troubleshooting

Mitten feels damp inside

Ensure mittens are completely dry before wearing. If persistent, check for damage to the waterproof membrane. Allow mittens to air dry thoroughly after use.

Reduced grip on the palm

Clean the sheepskin palm with a slightly damp cloth to remove dirt or oils. Apply a leather conditioner specifically designed for sheepskin or leather gloves to restore grip and suppleness.

Mitten seems too tight or restrictive

Allow time for the mittens to break in, especially the sheepskin palm. If they remain uncomfortably tight after several uses, ensure you have selected the correct size. Do not attempt to stretch them forcefully.

Loss of waterproofing

Inspect the mitten for any rips or punctures. If the outer fabric is clean, consider using a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment suitable for waterproof-breathable materials. Avoid harsh cleaning agents.
