FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for extreme cold?

Yes, they feature Primaloft Gold Insulation, which is specifically designed for performance in sub-zero temperatures, making them suitable for extreme cold conditions.

How do I clean my Seal Skinz Fransham gloves?

Hand wash in cool water with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Hang dry naturally away from direct heat.

Can I use these gloves for activities other than skiing?

While designed for skiing, their waterproofing and insulation make them suitable for other cold-weather activities such as snowboarding, winter hiking, or any situation requiring warm, dry hands.

What is the benefit of the goatskin leather palm?

The goatskin leather palm provides excellent durability and a superior grip, allowing for secure handling of equipment like ski poles, even in wet conditions.

How does the Aquasealz membrane work?

Aquasealz is a waterproof and breathable membrane that prevents external water from entering the glove while allowing moisture vapor from your hands to escape, keeping you dry and comfortable.

What does 'close fitting' mean for these gloves?

A close-fitting design means the gloves are shaped to follow the contours of the hand and fingers snugly, providing good dexterity and reducing bulk. It's important to select the correct size for optimal comfort and warmth.

Are these gloves unisex?

Yes, the Seal Skinz Fransham Waterproof Thermal Ski Gauntlet is designed as a unisex product, suitable for both men and women.

Troubleshooting

Hands feel cold despite wearing gloves

Ensure the wrist strap and cuffs are properly adjusted to create a seal. Check that the gloves are the correct size and not too tight, which can restrict circulation. Verify that the gloves are completely dry inside and out.

Water is leaking into the gloves

Inspect the gloves for any tears or damage to the outer material or Aquasealz membrane. Ensure the cuffs are securely sealed against your jacket sleeves. If damage is found, repair or replace the gloves.

Grip on ski poles feels insecure

Wipe the leather palm dry with a clean cloth. If the leather feels stiff, consider applying a suitable leather conditioner. Ensure the wrist strap is tight enough to prevent the glove from slipping on your hand.

Gloves are difficult to put on or take off when hands are damp

Ensure hands are completely dry before attempting to put on the gloves. If the inner lining feels slightly damp, allow the gloves to air dry thoroughly before next use.
