FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for very cold winter conditions?

Yes, the Sherpa fleece lining provides significant insulation, making them ideal for cold weather. For extreme sub-zero temperatures, consider layering or additional insulation depending on activity level.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the sizing guide provided by the retailer or Sealskinz. Typically, you measure the circumference of your palm and the length of your hand from the tip of your middle finger to your wrist.

Can I wear these for activities other than hiking?

Absolutely. They are suitable for any cold and wet outdoor activity, such as camping, trekking, cycling in cold weather, or even daily wear in harsh conditions.

How often should I condition the leather palm?

Condition the leather palm only when it feels stiff or dry, especially after washing. Over-conditioning can affect the glove's feel and grip.

Will my hands sweat in these gloves?

The Aquasealz technology is designed to be breathable, allowing perspiration to escape. While some moisture may build up during high-exertion activities in warmer conditions, they are significantly more breathable than non-breathable waterproof gloves.

What is the difference between the Garvestone and other Sealskinz gloves?

The Garvestone model specifically combines goatskin leather with sherpa fleece and Aquasealz technology, focusing on warmth, grip, and waterproofing for demanding cold-weather activities.

Are the clasps on the gloves secure?

The clasps are designed for convenience to keep the gloves paired when not in use. They are generally secure for storage but not intended for active use while wearing the gloves.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel damp inside after use.

This can be due to perspiration. Ensure you are using the gloves in appropriate cold/wet conditions. Allow gloves to air dry completely after each use. If persistent, check for any damage to the waterproof membrane.

Leather palm feels stiff or dry.

This often occurs after washing or prolonged exposure to dry air. Apply a small amount of leather conditioner specifically designed for goatskin leather to the palm after the gloves have fully dried. Avoid excessive conditioner.

Drawcord adjustment is difficult.

Ensure the drawcord channel is free of debris. If it feels tight, gently work the cord back and forth. Avoid forcing the adjustment.

Water seeps through the glove material.

Check for visible tears or damage to the fabric or seams. Ensure the cuff is properly adjusted and sealed. If damage is present, the waterproof integrity may be compromised.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproofing and breathability combination.
  • Durable and provides a secure grip due to the leather palm.
  • Very warm and comfortable thanks to sherpa fleece lining.
  • Adjustable cuff ensures a snug and effective seal against the elements.
  • Easy to maintain with machine washability.

Cons

  • May require specific care to maintain waterproofing properties.
  • Leather palm can stiffen if not properly cared for after washing.
  • Primarily designed for cold, wet conditions; may be too warm for milder weather.
  • The drawcord mechanism could potentially be a point of wear over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These gloves require no setup. Simply put them on.

Compatibility: Designed for adult use in cold and wet outdoor conditions. They are suitable for a wide range of activities including hiking, trekking, camping, and general cold-weather wear.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a cool or warm (not hot) cycle with a small amount of liquid detergent. Do *not* use powder detergent, fabric softeners, or bleach.
  2. Drying: Hang dry naturally away from direct heat sources or sunlight. Avoid tumble drying, as high heat can damage the waterproof membrane and leather.
  3. Leather Care: After washing and drying, if the leather feels stiff, apply a small amount of leather conditioner to the palm. Ensure the conditioner is suitable for goatskin leather.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Use the integrated clasps to keep the pair together when not in use to prevent loss.
