Featuring advanced three-layer Aquasealz technology, these gloves provide a perfect balance of waterproof protection and breathability, allowing moisture to escape during intense physical activity.

FAQs
Are these gloves machine washable?
It is strongly recommended to hand wash these gloves to maintain the integrity of the waterproof membrane.
Can I use these for winter mountaineering?
While highly insulating, they are best suited for general outdoor activities. For extreme high-altitude mountaineering, you may need a glove with more technical protection.
How do I determine my size?
Sealskinz sizing is generally standard; measure the circumference of your dominant hand at the knuckles to match against the manufacturer's size guide.
Do they work on all touchscreen devices?
They are compatible with most capacitive screens, but performance may vary depending on the device's screen protector or sensitivity settings.
Are they windproof as well as waterproof?
Yes, the multi-layer construction effectively blocks wind, contributing to their high level of insulation.
Troubleshooting
Moisture inside the glove
This is likely sweat accumulation from high exertion. Ensure your hands were dry before putting on the gloves, and consider adjusting your activity level or loosening the wrist cord to increase ventilation.
Touchscreen not responding
Clean the fingertip area of the glove with a damp cloth to remove oils or dirt, and ensure your device screen is also clean.
Loss of grip over time
Clean the S-printed palm with warm water and a soft cloth to remove grit or debris that may be interfering with the texture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Sealskinz Hoveton gloves, it is important to handle them correctly. Before use, ensure the wrist cord is tightened to create a seal against your jacket sleeve. When using touchscreen devices, ensure your finger pad makes full contact with the screen for the best response. For care, avoid machine washing whenever possible to protect the waterproof membrane. Hand wash in cool water with a mild detergent and allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators or open fires, as high temperatures can damage the waterproofing layers.
