FAQs

Are these mittens suitable for extreme cold?

The Sturston Convertible Mittens are designed for cold weather and offer excellent insulation. For extremely low temperatures or prolonged exposure, consider layering with a thinner liner glove.

How do I convert the mitten to a fingerless glove?

Simply pull back the mitten flap, which is typically secured with a small button or magnet, to expose your fingers.

What activities are these mittens best for?

They are ideal for skiing, snowboarding, winter photography, hiking, and any outdoor activity requiring warmth and the occasional need for finger dexterity.

Can I machine wash these mittens?

It is recommended to hand wash the mittens in cold water to preserve the material integrity and waterproofing. Avoid machine washing and tumble drying.

What sizes are available?

The Sturston Convertible Mittens are available in adult sizes M, L, and XL.

What is the primary material of the mittens?

The primary material is a durable and insulative polyester sherpa fleece on the outer layer, with a polyester fleece lining on the inside.

How does the adjustable wrist cord work?

The cord typically features a toggle or clasp that you can tighten around your wrist to create a snug fit, preventing heat from escaping and cold air from entering.

Troubleshooting

Mittens feel too tight or too loose

Adjust the wrist cord for a snugger or looser fit. If the overall size is incorrect, consider exchanging for a different size based on the provided sizing chart.

Reduced grip on the palm

Ensure the palm area is clean and dry. Minor wear on the S-print is normal; clean with a damp cloth if dirty.

Hands feel cold despite wearing mittens

Ensure the convertible flap is fully secured over the fingers. Check that the wrist cord is adequately tightened to prevent cold air ingress. Consider wearing a thinner liner glove underneath for extreme conditions.

Mittens are damp after use

This is likely due to perspiration. Allow the mittens to air dry completely after each use. Ensure they are fully dry before storing.
