Product Information

Full details

The Sealskinz Gateley Waterproof All Weather Lightweight Insulated Mitten is designed for adults seeking reliable hand protection in colder, wet conditions. Its key benefit is the combination of waterproofing, breathability, and insulation, keeping hands warm and dry without overheating. A potential caveat is that mitten design, while providing superior warmth, may offer slightly less dexterity than fingered gloves for very fine tasks. This glove features a three-layer construction for enhanced warmth, durability, and waterproofness, an extended cuff for better heat retention, and a PU palm for a secure grip.

FAQs

Are these mittens suitable for extreme cold?

Yes, the mitten design and three-layer construction provide significant warmth, making them suitable for cold weather conditions. The ability for fingers to share heat enhances insulation.

How do I ensure the best waterproof performance?

Ensure the fitted cuff is properly secured to prevent water from entering. Regularly check the material for any damage that could compromise the waterproof membrane.

Can I use these for cycling or running?

Yes, the PU palm offers a good grip, and the waterproof/breathable features are beneficial for aerobic activities in wet and cold weather. However, the mitten design might limit dexterity for gear adjustments.

What is the main difference between these and regular gloves?

The primary difference is the mitten design, which groups all fingers together. This increases insulation and warmth retention compared to individual finger compartments in gloves. Dexterity may be slightly reduced.

How often should I wash these mittens?

Wash them only when necessary, such as after significant use in dirty conditions or if odour becomes an issue. Over-washing can impact the performance of the waterproof and insulating materials.

What does 'zero liner movement' mean?

It means the inner waterproof liner is bonded to the outer shell and insulation layers. This prevents the liner from bunching up or shifting inside the mitten, ensuring a consistent fit and preventing friction points.

Troubleshooting

Hands feel damp inside the mittens.

Ensure the cuff is sealed properly to prevent water ingress. If the dampness is from sweat, this may indicate the external temperature is not cold enough for the level of insulation, or a break in the waterproof membrane requires inspection.

Reduced grip on surfaces.

Ensure the PU palm is clean and free from dirt or debris. If the PU material shows signs of wear, it may need replacement or consideration for a new pair.

Mittens feel too bulky for fine tasks.

This is inherent to the mitten design. For tasks requiring high dexterity, consider switching to a fingered glove. The Gateley Mittens are optimized for warmth and protection over intricate manipulation.
