Full details
These Reusch Ben Mitten Gloves in Black are designed for adults seeking warm and windproof hand protection during cold weather. Their key benefit is the soft R-Loft insulation providing significant warmth with minimal weight, and a water-repellent outer. A potential caveat is that while windproof, they may not be fully waterproof for prolonged exposure to heavy rain. Key features include R-Loft synthetic insulation, a windproof exterior, a regular zip closure for easy wear, and a wrist loop to prevent loss.

FAQs
Are these gloves suitable for extreme cold?
The R-Loft insulation provides significant warmth for cold days. For extremely low temperatures or arctic conditions, consider using them with a thin liner glove.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The gloves should fit snugly but not be uncomfortably tight. There should be no significant pressure points. Ensure you can easily close your hand. Refer to the brand's sizing chart for specific measurements.
Can I machine wash these gloves?
It is recommended to hand wash the gloves gently with cold water and mild soap to preserve the insulation and materials. Avoid machine washing and harsh detergents.
What does 'water-repellent' mean for these gloves?
Water-repellent means the outer fabric resists water penetration for a period, making them suitable for light rain or snow. They are not designed to be fully waterproof for submersion or heavy, prolonged rainfall.
How does the R-Loft insulation work?
R-Loft is a synthetic insulation designed to trap air, providing warmth similar to down but with better performance when damp. It combines high loft (volume) with minimal weight.
What is the purpose of the wrist loop?
The wrist loop, often called a leash, is a strap that goes around your wrist. It prevents the gloves from falling to the ground and getting lost if you take them off briefly.
Are these gloves suitable for skiing?
They are suitable for recreational skiing and snowboarding, especially in dry, cold conditions. For demanding off-piste or all-day resort skiing in variable weather, a more specialized ski glove might be preferable.
Troubleshooting
Gloves feel too tight
Ensure the zip closure is fully open when putting them on. If still tight, check the size guide for a correct fit or consider a larger size. The lining may also loosen slightly with wear.
Hands still feel cold
For extreme cold, consider wearing a thin liner glove underneath. Ensure the gloves are fully dry, as dampness reduces insulation effectiveness. Check that the zip closure is fully secured.
Water seeps through
These gloves are water-repellent, not waterproof. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet snow, consider a fully waterproof glove. Ensure the zip closure area is kept clean and free of debris.
Zipper is stiff
Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. If it persists, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the zipper teeth.
