Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for very cold temperatures?

Yes, the merino wool lining provides excellent warmth, making them suitable for cold weather activities. For extreme cold, consider layering or ensuring a snug fit for optimal insulation.

How do I know if I have the right size?

A proper fit is crucial. The glove should feel snug but not tight, allowing for full dexterity. Measure your hand circumference and length according to the Sealskinz sizing chart.

Can I use these gloves with touchscreen devices?

The product description does not specify touchscreen compatibility. While some gloves with similar materials can offer limited functionality, it is not a guaranteed feature.

How often should I re-waterproof the gloves?

Re-waterproofing is generally needed when water no longer beads up on the outer surface. This depends on usage frequency and environmental conditions, but typically after extended periods of heavy use or washing.

What is the difference between this model and the Twyford glove?

The Howe glove features a Stepped Stretch Lycra blend and Fusion Control technology for enhanced dexterity and a seamless waterproof barrier. The Twyford glove is a leather alternative, suggesting a different material feel and potentially a different performance profile.

Can these gloves be machine washed?

No, these gloves should be hand washed only with a mild detergent and rinsed thoroughly. Do not use fabric softeners, and never machine dry them.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel damp inside

Ensure the outer material is not compromised. Allow gloves to air dry completely, away from direct heat. If the issue persists, the waterproof membrane may be damaged.

Reduced grip on the palm

Wipe the polyurethane suede palm with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or residue that may be affecting grip. Ensure hands are dry before wearing.

Liner slippage or bunching

This is rare due to Fusion Control. If experienced, ensure the gloves are the correct size. If they persist, contact customer support.

Loss of warmth

Check if the merino wool lining is clean and dry. Moisture can reduce insulation. Ensure there are no holes or tears in the glove's construction.
