FAQs

What makes these gloves 'Shooters Mitts'?

The name originates from their utility for sports like shooting, where one needs dexterity for handling equipment but also warmth. The design allows for quick transition between fingerless use and full coverage.

How warm are these gloves?

They are lined with Thinsulate, which offers good warmth for their weight and bulk. They are suitable for cool to cold conditions but not extreme sub-zero temperatures.

Can I use my smartphone with the fingerless part?

Yes, the fingerless design provides full dexterity for operating touchscreens and other fine-motor tasks.

How do I clean the Thinsulate lining?

You can hand wash the gloves in cold water. Avoid harsh detergents and do not machine dry, as this can degrade the insulation properties and the fleece.

What is the primary benefit of the flip-over mitten?

The flip-over mitten provides an extra layer of insulation and protection for the fingers when not engaged in detailed work, significantly increasing warmth.

Are these gloves waterproof?

These gloves are made from polyester fleece and are not designed to be waterproof. They offer protection against wind and light moisture but will saturate in heavy rain or snow.

Troubleshooting

Mitten flap does not stay closed

Ensure the flap is aligned correctly with its securing mechanism. If the securing mechanism is worn, consider if the glove is nearing the end of its lifespan.

Gloves feel too tight

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Polyester fleece can sometimes feel snug when new and may stretch slightly with use. Avoid stretching them excessively.

Reduced warmth over time

The Thinsulate lining is designed for long-term insulation. If warmth decreases significantly, check for any damage to the material or lining. Ensure they are fully dry after use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These gloves require no setup. Simply put them on. Ensure the mitten flap is securely secured with its closure when not in use to maintain its shape.

Care Instructions:
