FAQs
What makes these mittens suitable for extremely cold days?
The mittens feature down insulation, which offers the best warmth-to-weight ratio, providing maximum warmth without excessive bulk. They also include a waterproof, windproof, and breathable R-TEX membrane for comprehensive protection.
How do I ensure the mittens stay on my infant's hands?
The mittens have a long closure with a drawstring that can be tightened around the wrist. Additionally, there is a wrist loop (leash) that can be used to secure them, preventing them from getting lost.
Can these mittens be machine washed?
It is recommended to hand wash the mittens gently with a mild detergent. While some sources might suggest a gentle machine cycle, hand washing is the safest method to preserve the down and R-TEX membrane.
What is the primary material used for the lining?
The lining is made of very soft polyester, designed for high wearing comfort, to prevent skin irritation, and to provide moisture and temperature regulating effects.
Are these mittens suitable for toddlers as well as infants?
While specifically designed for infants due to their insulation needs and potential sizing, the general features of warmth and protection may also be beneficial for toddlers in extremely cold conditions, depending on the specific size and fit.
How often should I clean my Reusch Kaden Down Mittens?
Clean the mittens as needed. Over-washing can degrade the insulation and membrane. Spot cleaning minor marks is preferable to full washing. Follow the specific care instructions for down and waterproof garments when washing is necessary.
Troubleshooting
Mittens feel damp inside.
Ensure mittens are completely dry after washing. If used in very humid conditions, the R-TEX membrane may need time to fully wick moisture. Check for proper fit; if too tight, it can impede circulation and moisture management.
Drawstring closure not secure.
Adjust the drawstring for a snug fit around the wrist. If the drawstring is excessively long, consider tucking it securely inside the mitten or tying a small knot to maintain tension.
Down insulation appears clumpy after washing.
Place the mittens back in the dryer on a low heat setting with clean tennis balls or dryer balls. Gently toss or agitate them periodically to help break up clumps and restore loft.
