Product Information

Full details

The SEALSKINZ Griston AQUASEAL Waterproof Gloves are designed for adults seeking reliable protection against the elements during everyday use. Their key benefit is providing 100% waterproof, windproof, and breathable performance without compromising dexterity. A potential caveat is that while durable, they are intended for everyday rather than extreme expeditions, meaning they may not withstand prolonged heavy-duty abuse.

FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for very cold winter conditions?

The AQUASEAL gloves provide warmth due to their polyester lining and windproof nature, making them suitable for cool to cold weather. For extreme sub-zero temperatures or prolonged exposure to deep cold, additional insulation or dedicated winter gloves might be necessary.

Can I use these gloves with a smartphone?

While the PU palm provides grip, the gloves are not specifically designed as touchscreen compatible. Functionality with touchscreens may vary and is not guaranteed.

How long do the waterproof properties typically last?

With proper care and regular maintenance, the waterproof properties are designed to last for the expected lifespan of the product, offering sustained performance for everyday use.

What makes these gloves 'breathable'?

The three-layer construction includes a waterproof yet breathable membrane. This allows perspiration vapor to escape from the inside of the glove, preventing the build-up of moisture and maintaining comfort.

Can I machine wash these gloves?

It is recommended to hand wash the gloves in cool or lukewarm water with a mild liquid detergent. Machine washing is not advised as it may damage the waterproof membrane and the glove's integrity.

Are these gloves good for active sports?

These gloves are designed for everyday waterproof, windproof, and breathable performance. For high-exertion sports involving significant, sustained sweating, other specialized gear might be more appropriate.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel damp inside after use.

Ensure gloves are properly dried after washing. If persistent, the waterproof membrane may be compromised; consider replacement if over-worn.

Reduced grip on the palm.

Clean the PU palm with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure the palm is completely dry before use.

Stiffness after washing.

This can be normal. Gently flex the gloves to restore suppleness. Avoid heat drying which can worsen stiffness.

Seams feel rough or uncomfortable.

Ensure the inner lining is correctly positioned. Some minor roughness may be inherent to the construction, but significant discomfort might indicate a defect.
