Full details
The Sealskinz Whinburgh Hybrid Mittens are designed for outdoor enthusiasts seeking the perfect balance between high-end thermal protection and manual dexterity. Ideal for skiing, winter hiking, and cold-weather mountaineering, these mittens feature an innovative internal five-finger design that provides the grip of a glove with the superior heat retention of a mitten. While they offer exceptional weather resistance and comfort, users should note that the integrated finger sections require a break-in period to feel fully natural during intricate tasks.

FAQs
Can I use touchscreen devices while wearing these?
These mittens are designed primarily for warmth and dexterity, and are not specifically treated for touchscreen compatibility.
Are these suitable for sub-zero temperatures?
Yes, the PrimaLoft Gold insulation is engineered to provide high levels of warmth in extreme cold-weather environments.
How do I know which size to choose?
We recommend measuring your hand circumference across the knuckles and comparing it to the standard Sealskinz sizing chart to ensure the internal finger sections fit comfortably.
Are the mittens machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the waterproof membrane and the leather palm. Hand-cleaning is recommended.
What is the purpose of the internal elastic loop?
The internal elastic loop is designed to act as a security tether, allowing you to slip your wrists through so the mittens hang on your arms rather than falling in the snow when removed.
Troubleshooting
Internal fingers feeling misaligned
Remove the mitten and shake it out to reset the inner lining; ensure your fingers are fully pushed into the internal stalls before tightening the wrist strap.
Leather palm becoming stiff after wetting
Allow the mittens to air dry slowly in a cool, ventilated area, then apply a specialized leather conditioner once dry.
Cuff not staying secure
Check the drawcord tensioner for any debris; ensure the webbing strap is pulled taut before tightening the secondary cuff cord.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Sealskinz mittens last for many seasons, proper maintenance is essential. Always adjust the wrist strap and drawcord while wearing the mittens to achieve a snug, comfortable fit that doesn't restrict circulation. When not in use, utilize the exterior pairing clips to keep the pair together. For cleaning, avoid machine washing; instead, spot clean the outer shell with a damp cloth. Because these mittens feature a leather palm, it is recommended to apply a leather conditioner occasionally to prevent the material from drying out and cracking. Always air-dry your mittens away from direct heat sources like radiators to preserve the structural integrity of the insulation and waterproof membrane.
