Product Information

Full details

The Sealskinz Garvestone Gloves are designed for adults seeking reliable hand protection in cold, wet weather conditions. Their key benefit is complete waterproofness combined with excellent insulation, ensuring your hands stay dry and warm during outdoor activities. A potential caveat is that while highly insulative, they may not be suitable for extremely mild conditions. These gloves feature a three-layer Aquasealz technology, a combination of soft goatskin leather and sherpa fleece, offering both grip and comfort.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for very cold temperatures?

Yes, the Sherpa fleece lining offers high insulation, making them suitable for cold weather. For extreme cold, consider layering with liner gloves.

How do I determine the correct size?

Consult the brand's sizing chart, typically available on their website or retailer's product page, and measure your hand circumference.

Can I use these for activities other than hiking?

Yes, their waterproof and warm features make them suitable for a range of cold-weather activities such as winter cycling, snowshoeing, or general outdoor use.

How often should I condition the leather palm?

Condition the leather palm every few months, or when it feels dry, to maintain its suppleness and prevent cracking. Frequency depends on usage and environmental conditions.

Will my hands get sweaty in these gloves?

The gloves are designed to be breathable, allowing perspiration to escape. However, during very high-intensity activities, some moisture buildup may occur. Ensuring the gloves are dry between uses helps manage this.

What does 'Aquasealz technology' mean?

Aquasealz is the brand's proprietary three-layer technology that provides waterproof protection while maintaining breathability.

Can the clasps be removed?

The clasps are typically permanently attached and are designed to keep the gloves paired when not in use.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel damp inside after use

Ensure the gloves are fully dry between uses. If excessive perspiration is an issue, consider using liner gloves or ensure the outer material is clean and breathable.

Reduced grip on the leather palm

Clean the leather palm with a damp cloth and ensure it is fully dry. If the leather feels dry, apply a small amount of leather conditioner suitable for goatskin.

Water seeping through seams

Inspect seams for any damage. Minor seepage might occur after prolonged extreme saturation. Ensure the outer material is clean, as dirt can affect water repellency.

Fleece lining feels less soft

Hand wash gently with mild soap and cold water. Avoid harsh detergents or high heat drying, which can affect the texture of the fleece.
