FAQs
How do I determine the right size?
Measure around your hand at the knuckles, excluding the thumb. Refer to the Trekmates size chart for accurate sizing information.
Are these mitts suitable for skiing or snowboarding?
These mitts can be used for light snow activities. However, they may not offer the same level of protection and dexterity as purpose-built ski or snowboard mitts. Consider your activity level and weather conditions.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
It is recommended to hand wash these mitts to preserve their waterproof and insulating properties. Machine washing may damage the materials.
What is DRY Protect technology?
DRY Protect is a waterproof and breathable technology that keeps your hands dry by preventing water from entering while allowing moisture vapor from sweat to escape.
How long will the waterproofing last?
The waterproofing will last for a reasonable amount of time with proper care. However, it may diminish with use and washing. Regularly apply a waterproofing treatment to maintain performance.
Can I use these mitts with touchscreen devices?
Yes, these mitts are touchscreen compatible. They allow you to use smartphones and other touchscreen devices without taking them off.
What type of insulation is used in these mitts?
These mitts use 120gm/m2 polyester hollowfibre insulation for warmth and comfort.
Troubleshooting
Mitts feel cold despite wearing them.
Ensure the mitts fit properly and are not too loose. Check that the cuffs are adjusted securely to prevent cold air entry. Consider adding a liner glove for extra warmth in very cold conditions.
Water is seeping into the mitts.
Check for any damage to the mitts, especially around seams. If the damage is minimal, try using a seam sealant. Consider re-applying a waterproofing treatment. If the mitts are old, it may be time to replace them.
Touch screen function isn't working.
Ensure your device screen is compatible with gloves. Apply firm pressure to the screen while using your fingers or thumb. Remove any dirt or moisture from the mitts' fingertips.
