Product Information
Full details
The Sealskinz Toftwood Glove in Blue is designed for adults seeking reliable hand protection in cold and wet conditions. Its key benefit is complete waterproofness combined with breathability, preventing hands from getting clammy. A potential caveat is that while designed for everyday wear, the boiled wool exterior may require specific care to maintain its insulative properties. This glove features Aquasealz technology, a goatskin leather palm for grip, and a microfleece lining for comfort.

FAQs
Are these gloves truly waterproof?
Yes, the gloves feature Aquasealz technology, providing a completely waterproof barrier while remaining breathable.
Can I use these gloves for high-dexterity tasks?
The gloves are designed to be lightweight and agile, assisting natural hand movement for many everyday tasks. However, extremely fine or intricate work may still be challenging.
How should I clean the boiled wool exterior?
The boiled wool should be hand washed in cold water with a mild soap and allowed to drip dry naturally. Avoid harsh detergents, bleach, and machine drying.
What is the main difference between the wool and leather components?
The boiled wool exterior provides insulation and breathability, while the goatskin leather palm offers grip and durability.
Are these gloves suitable for extreme cold?
They offer excellent insulation for cold and wet conditions, but for extreme sub-zero temperatures, consider using them with a thin liner glove for added warmth.
How often should I condition the leather palm?
Condition the leather palm as needed, typically when it feels dry or stiff, or after significant use in wet conditions, using a suitable leather balm.
What does 'Aquasealz technology' mean?
Aquasealz technology is Sealskinz's proprietary system that ensures the glove is fully waterproof and windproof while also being highly breathable, allowing moisture vapor to escape.
Troubleshooting
Gloves feel damp inside after use.
This is likely perspiration. Ensure the gloves are not too tight, allowing for airflow. After use, allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat.
Leather palm feels stiff or dry.
Condition the leather palm with a specialized leather balm designed for performance gloves. Apply sparingly and allow to absorb.
Reduced water repellency on the wool exterior.
The boiled wool may lose some of its natural water resistance over time. Consider applying a water-repellent treatment specifically designed for wool and outdoor gear, following product instructions carefully.
Seams feel uncomfortable.
Ensure you have the correct size. If discomfort persists, try wearing a thin liner glove inside for added comfort.
