FAQs

Are these mittens truly waterproof?

The durable leather exterior offers resistance to wind and light moisture, but they are not fully waterproof. They are best suited for cold, dry conditions or light snow. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain or deep snow may saturate the materials.

How do I determine the right size?

Refer to the product sizing chart provided by TruClothing. Typically, measure the circumference of your hand at the widest point (excluding the thumb) and compare it to the chart. Ensure the wrist cuff provides a snug, not tight, fit.

Can I wear these for strenuous winter sports?

These mittens are primarily designed for warmth and casual outdoor activities. For highly strenuous sports like skiing or snowboarding where significant moisture and abrasion are involved, dedicated technical gloves or mittens may offer better performance and durability.

How often should I condition the leather?

The frequency depends on usage and environmental conditions. For regular use in dry, cold weather, conditioning every few months or when the leather appears dry is generally sufficient. Avoid over-conditioning, which can soften the leather too much.

What is the difference between shearling and wool lining?

Shearling refers to sheepskin with the wool still attached, offering exceptional insulation. The wool interior lining is the natural fleece of the sheep, providing a soft, breathable, and warm feel against the skin.

Are these mittens suitable for very low temperatures?

Yes, the genuine sheepskin and wool lining provide excellent insulation and are designed for cold winter temperatures. They are effective in keeping hands warm in sub-zero conditions, provided they remain dry.

Troubleshooting

Mittens feel too tight

Leather can stretch slightly with wear. Try wearing them for a few extended periods. If still too tight, ensure the correct size was purchased.

Leather exterior shows dry spots

Apply a leather conditioner specifically designed for sheepskin or soft leather to restore moisture and suppleness. Use sparingly and follow product instructions.

Interior feels damp after use

Allow mittens to air dry completely between uses. Ensure they are fully dry before storing. If they become significantly wet, stuff with paper and air dry.

Stitching appears loose

For minor loose threads, carefully trim them. If stitching is significantly unraveling, contact customer support for potential repair or replacement options.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

These mittens require no setup; they are ready to wear out of the packaging.

Compatibility:

Designed for adult hands, these unisex mittens are compatible with most winter outerwear. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal performance and comfort.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: For light dirt, gently wipe the leather exterior with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking the mittens. For the interior wool lining, spot clean gently if necessary. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
  • Conditioning: To maintain the suppleness of the leather, use a specialized leather conditioner periodically, following the product's instructions.
  • Drying: If mittens become wet, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers. Stuffing them with paper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a breathable bag, to prevent mildew and preserve the materials.
