Product Information
Full details
The Barts Freesstyle Mittens are high-performance handwear designed for adults who need reliable protection during winter sports and outdoor activities. These mittens excel by combining a water-repellent polyester exterior with a specialized Hydroshell II waterproof membrane to keep hands dry in snowy or wet conditions. While they offer excellent insulation using 70% recycled materials, users should note that the integrated wrist bands and heavy-duty cuff design may feel bulky if you are accustomed to lightweight glove liners.

FAQs
Are these mittens truly waterproof?
Yes, they feature a specialized Hydroshell II membrane designed to block water while allowing breathability.
Can I machine wash these mittens?
It is recommended to hand wash them with mild detergent to preserve the technical coatings and the integrity of the PU palm.
Are the wrist leashes removable?
The wrist bands are integrated into the design to ensure you do not lose your mittens while on the slopes.
Do these fit true to size?
Yes, Barts sizing is standard for adults; however, if you plan to wear liners underneath, you may prefer a slightly roomier fit.
What is the primary material used?
The exterior is made from durable polyester, complemented by a soft Bemberg interior lining.
Troubleshooting
Hands feel cold despite insulation
Ensure the cuffs are tightened properly to prevent cold air drafts and avoid wearing overly tight watches underneath that might restrict blood flow.
Outer fabric absorbing moisture
The water-repellent coating may wear off over time; consider applying a technical fabric DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray specifically designed for synthetic materials.
PU palm losing grip
Gently wipe the palms with a damp cloth to remove oils or dirt buildup that can make the surface slippery.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Barts Freesstyle Mittens, proper care is essential. When putting them on, ensure the cuff is placed over your jacket sleeve before tightening the adjustable strap to create a perfect seal against the elements. If the mittens get wet, allow them to air dry slowly at room temperature; avoid placing them directly on radiators or high-heat sources, as this can degrade the waterproof membrane and the PU palm material. Periodically check the elastic wrist bands for any fraying and ensure the Velcro on the straps remains free of lint for the strongest closure.
