FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for extreme cold?

Yes, the combination of boiled wool, leather, and microfleece lining provides excellent insulation for cold conditions. However, extreme cold can be subjective, and individual tolerance varies.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Measure the circumference of your palm and the length of your hand from the tip of your middle finger to your wrist. Compare these measurements to the brand's sizing chart. The glove should fit snugly but comfortably, allowing for some finger movement without being loose.

Can I wash these gloves in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended. Hand wash gently in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid wringing or twisting the gloves.

What is Aquasealz™ technology?

Aquasealz™ is Sealskinz's proprietary technology that creates a fully waterproof yet breathable membrane within the glove, preventing external moisture from entering while allowing internal perspiration vapor to escape.

How often should I condition the leather palm?

Condition the leather palm periodically, especially after cleaning or if it feels dry. Typically, once or twice a season depending on usage and environmental conditions is sufficient.

Can these gloves be used for touchscreen devices?

No, these gloves are not designed with touchscreen compatibility. The materials used, particularly the boiled wool and leather, do not typically facilitate touchscreen operation.

What is the main difference between this and other Toftwood models?

This specific model features a boiled wool exterior combined with a goatskin leather palm, emphasizing insulation and durability for cold, wet conditions. Other models might vary in material composition (e.g., fully leather or different types of wool/synthetics).

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel stiff after drying

This can happen if they are over-dried or not cared for properly. Gently flex the leather and wool. Apply a small amount of leather conditioner to the palm and work it in. Air dry again, avoiding direct heat.

Reduced waterproofness over time

Ensure the gloves are clean and free of dirt or residue. Re-apply a suitable waterproofing treatment designed for leather and wool gloves. Check for any physical damage or wear.

Inner lining feels damp

This is usually due to high perspiration. Ensure the Aquasealz™ technology is functioning by allowing adequate air circulation. If the issue persists, it might be time to clean and re-condition the gloves.

Leather palm feels dry or cracked

The leather needs conditioning. Use a quality leather conditioner specifically designed for gloves. Apply sparingly and allow it to soak in before wearing. Avoid over-applying.
