Product Information

Full details

The SealSkinz Walcott Glove is designed for adult males seeking high-performance handwear for cold and damp outdoor activities like biking, climbing, mountaineering, and skiing. Its key benefit is superior dexterity and grip due to the innovative Fusion Control technology, ensuring your hands stay dry and comfortable without sacrificing control. A potential caveat is that the close-fitting design may not suit those preferring a looser glove fit. This glove features a 100% waterproof and windproof construction with a unique hydrophilic membrane bonded between layers, maximizing moisture transfer and preventing liner slippage for reliable performance in challenging conditions.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for extreme cold?

The gloves are designed for cold and damp conditions and feature a Merino wool liner for warmth. For extreme sub-zero temperatures, consider layering with a thinner liner glove or choosing a glove specifically rated for extreme cold.

How do I know if I have the right size?

The glove should fit snugly without being constrictive. Your fingers should be able to move freely, and the cuff should fit comfortably around your wrist or jacket sleeve. Refer to the brand's sizing chart for specific measurements.

Can I use my smartphone with these gloves on?

While the Fusion Control technology enhances dexterity, the leather and softshell materials may not offer full touchscreen compatibility. Some users may find limited functionality; however, they are not specifically designed for touchscreen use.

How long does the waterproof protection last?

The waterproof membrane is bonded between layers and is designed for long-term durability. However, performance can be maintained by following the care instructions, particularly regarding washing and drying, and avoiding physical damage.

What is the difference between this model and other SealSkinz gloves?

The Walcott Glove specifically features the Fusion Control bonding for enhanced dexterity and grip. Other SealSkinz models might focus on different aspects like insulation, specific activities, or different cuff heights.

Can these gloves be machine washed?

Yes, they can be machine washed on a gentle cycle with a small amount of liquid detergent. However, hand washing is often recommended to prolong the life of the materials, especially the leather.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel too tight or restrictive.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the gloves are new, they may require a short break-in period. Try wearing them for short periods to allow the materials to adapt.

Reduced grip or dexterity.

Check that the inside of the gloves is dry. Moisture can affect grip. Ensure the Fusion Control technology is not obstructed. Clean the glove exterior if it has become soiled.

Water leakage after prolonged use.

Inspect gloves for any tears or damage to the membrane or stitching. Ensure the cuff is properly sealed against your clothing. If damage is found, consider replacement.

Inner liner feels clammy.

While designed for moisture transfer, intense activity can still lead to sweat. Ensure gloves are allowed to air dry completely between uses. Avoid wearing them in excessively warm conditions where breathability may be overwhelmed.
