FAQs

Is this set suitable for extreme cold?

The set is designed for colder climates and offers good insulation and waterproof protection. For extreme sub-zero conditions, consider layering or a more specialized extreme weather gear.

How does the Aquasealz technology work?

Aquasealz is a membrane technology integrated into the hat's construction. It acts as a barrier to prevent water from entering while allowing water vapor (perspiration) to escape, keeping you dry from both external moisture and internal sweat.

Can I wash the hat and mittens in a washing machine?

Yes, you can machine wash them at 30°C (86°F) using a small amount of liquid detergent. Avoid bleach, fabric softener, and tumble drying.

What materials are the hat and mittens made from?

The hat is made from an acrylic knit outer, an Aquasealz waterproof/breathable membrane, and a polyester microfleece lining. The mittens are crafted from acrylic knit.

How do I ensure the correct size?

The set is available in adult sizes S/M and L/XL. Refer to the brand's sizing chart for measurements to ensure a proper fit for both the hat and mittens.

Are the mittens insulated separately?

The mittens are crafted from a warm acrylic knit. The mitten design itself helps trap heat between fingers, and the material provides insulation suitable for cold weather.

What is the purpose of the glove clips?

The glove clips are designed to attach the pair of mittens together, preventing them from getting separated and lost when not in use.

Troubleshooting

Hat feels too tight or too loose

Check the available sizes (S/M, L/XL) and ensure you have selected the appropriate one. The knit material has some natural give, but a fundamentally incorrect size will not be comfortable.

Water is penetrating the hat

Ensure the hat has been washed according to care instructions and that no detergents or fabric softeners have been used, as these can compromise waterproof membranes. Check for any visible damage to the fabric or membrane.

Mittens feel less warm than expected

Confirm that the mittens are dry. Moisture trapped within the fibers can reduce insulation. Ensure the mitten design is suitable for the specific temperature; while insulative, they are optimized for cold, wet conditions.

Grip on mitten palm is reduced

The S-Print palm is designed for grip. Ensure the palm area is clean and free from dirt or oils that could affect traction. Some initial wear may be required for the grip to reach its full potential.
