FAQs
Are these gloves touchscreen compatible?
Due to the leather palm construction and thick insulation, these gloves are not optimized for touchscreen use.
Can I wash these in a machine?
It is recommended to spot clean the exterior to protect the leather elements and the structural integrity of the Aquasealz membrane.
What is the purpose of the internal finger sections?
They provide individual warmth for each finger and better dexterity than a standard mitten, while still keeping your fingers together to share heat.
Are these suitable for mountaineering?
Yes, their rugged leather construction and thermal properties make them suitable for a wide range of alpine and mountain activities.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Use the adjustment straps on the wrist and the drawcord at the cuff to cinch the glove so it is snug but not constricting, allowing blood flow to remain consistent.
Troubleshooting
Gloves feel cold despite insulation
Ensure the wrist strap is cinched properly to prevent heat loss and ensure your hands were dry before putting the gloves on.
Water penetrating the surface
The exterior may need to be cleaned and treated; check if the waterproof membrane has been compromised by sharp objects or severe abrasion.
Leather palm becoming stiff
Clean the leather with a soft damp cloth, allow it to air dry, and apply a specialized leather conditioner to restore flexibility.
Pros and Cons

- Effective waterproofing in deep snow

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Sealskinz Whinburgh mittens perform optimally, adjust the webbing strap snugly around your wrist and tighten the drawcord cuff over your jacket sleeve to form an airtight seal. For care, avoid machine washing the leather palm, as this can cause cracking and loss of grip. Instead, clean the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow the gloves to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can degrade the membrane. Apply a leather conditioner periodically to keep the palms supple and water-repellent.
