FAQs

Are these mittens truly waterproof?

Yes, they feature the Aquasealz™ membrane, which is designed to be both waterproof and breathable, providing protection from external moisture while allowing internal moisture to escape.

How does the split finger design improve warmth?

By separating the index finger from the other three, it allows for better heat transfer between the fingers, helping to keep them warmer than in a traditional mitten. It also offers slightly more dexterity.

What is Primaloft Gold Insulation?

Primaloft Gold is a high-performance synthetic insulation known for its excellent warmth-to-weight ratio, compressibility, and ability to retain thermal properties even when wet, making it ideal for extreme cold.

Can I machine wash these mittens?

No, machine washing is not recommended. Hand wash only with cool water and mild soap, and air dry away from direct heat to preserve the waterproof membrane and insulation.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the brand's sizing chart and measure your hand circumference and length. A proper fit is crucial for both comfort and optimal warmth, ensuring the insulation performs effectively and there's room for minor hand movement without restricting circulation.

What is the warranty period for these mittens?

Please refer to the product packaging or the official Sealskinz website for specific warranty information, as it can vary by region and retailer.

Are these mittens suitable for very cold, wet conditions?

Absolutely. The combination of waterproof materials, advanced insulation, and a durable construction makes them well-suited for extreme cold and wet environments.

Troubleshooting

Mitten feels damp inside, but not exposed to water.

This could be due to perspiration. Ensure the Aquasealz™ membrane is functioning correctly by checking for any damage. Allow mittens to air dry completely between uses. Consider using liner gloves if you experience excessive sweating.

Leather palm feels stiff.

The leather may be dry. Apply a small amount of leather conditioner specifically designed for gloves or outdoor gear. Gently work it into the leather and allow it to absorb before wiping off any excess.

Water seeping through the mitten.

Inspect the Aquasealz™ membrane and seams for any punctures or tears. If damage is found, the waterproof integrity may be compromised. Ensure all closures (cuffs, drawcords) are securely fastened.

Elastic drawcord is not holding its position.

Check the toggle or clasp mechanism for debris or damage. Ensure the cord is threaded correctly. If the elastic has lost its tension, it may need replacement by a professional or specialist repair service.
