Product Information
Full details
The Dakine Sequoia GORE-TEX Glove is designed for adult women seeking superior warmth and waterproofing during winter activities. Its key benefit is providing complete weather protection in harsh, cold environments, ensuring your hands stay dry and comfortable all day. A potential consideration is that while durable, the leather palm may require specific care to maintain its water-repellent properties over time. Key features include GORE-TEX membrane with Gore Warm technology for insulation, a water-repellent leather palm for enhanced durability, and a removable Storm Liner glove for added versatility and touch screen compatibility.

FAQs
Are these gloves suitable for extreme cold?
Yes, the combination of GORE-TEX, Gore Warm technology, and Hi-Loft insulation is designed for harsh, cold environments and provides excellent warmth and protection.
How do I clean the leather palm?
Wipe with a damp cloth and condition periodically with a leather conditioner. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals that can damage the leather and its water-repellent treatment.
Can I use my smartphone with these gloves on?
Yes, the removable Storm Liner glove is touch screen compatible, allowing you to operate your phone or other devices.
What is the purpose of the external zippered pocket?
The water-resistant zippered pocket is designed to securely store small items like keys, cards, or cash. It can also be used to hold a disposable heat pack for extra warmth.
Are the materials used recycled?
Yes, the gloves feature Hi-Loft insulation made with 50% recycled polyester and 50% polyester. The shell materials also include 55% recycled polyester.
What is the difference between the Sequoia and Leather Sequoia gloves?
The Leather Sequoia Glove features a water-repellent leather palm for enhanced durability in high-wear areas, offering improved grip and longevity compared to the standard Sequoia glove.
How do I care for the GORE-TEX membrane?
To maintain the GORE-TEX membrane's performance, clean the glove exterior with a damp cloth and avoid using fabric softeners or bleach. Reapply a DWR treatment as needed, following product instructions.
Troubleshooting
Hands feel cold despite wearing the gloves.
Ensure the Storm Liner is properly inserted and dry. Check if the gauntlet is sealed correctly to prevent drafts. For extreme cold, consider using the heat pack pocket.
Water is seeping through the gloves.
Inspect the GORE-TEX membrane for damage. Ensure all seams are intact. Re-apply a DWR treatment if the water repellency has diminished, especially on the shell and leather palm.
Leather palm feels stiff or dry.
Apply a dedicated leather conditioner to the palm area. Allow it to absorb fully before using the gloves again.
Removable liner is lost.
The gloves can still be used without the liner, but warmth and touch screen functionality will be reduced. Contact customer support for potential replacement options.
Zipper is difficult to open or close.
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Gently clean the zipper teeth with a small brush and apply a lubricant like wax or silicone spray if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: The removable Storm Liner is touch screen compatible, allowing you to use smartphones or other devices without removing the liner. The main glove shell is designed for general winter activities and offers no electronic device compatibility.
Care:
- Cleaning the Shell: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, which can damage the GORE-TEX membrane and leather.
- Cleaning the Liner: The removable Storm Liner can be machine washed on a gentle cycle with cold water and mild soap. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry completely.
- Leather Care: Condition the leather palm periodically with a suitable leather conditioner to maintain its suppleness and water-repellent properties. Allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Storage: Store gloves in a cool, dry place. Ensure they are completely dry before long-term storage to prevent mold or mildew.
