FAQs
Is this hat suitable for very cold temperatures?
Yes, the Sealskinz Fincham is designed for extreme cold, featuring a microfleece lining and polyester sherpa fleece exterior for maximum insulation.
How does the waterproofing work?
It uses a patented three-layer Aquasealz technology, featuring a 100% waterproof and breathable membrane that keeps water out while allowing internal moisture to escape.
Can I wear this hat with a hood?
Yes, while the hat provides ear flap protection, it can be worn comfortably with a hood for added warmth and protection in severe weather.
What is the best way to clean the hat?
Machine wash at 30°C (86°F) using a mild detergent. Do not use fabric softener, bleach, or tumble dry. Hang dry away from direct heat.
Does the hat come in different sizes?
The hat is designed to adapt to various head sizes due to its unstructured nature. Specific size options may vary by retailer or product listing.
Is the hat suitable for activities like skiing or snowboarding?
While it offers excellent warmth and waterproofing, it is primarily designed for general outdoor use, commuting, and country walks. For high-impact snow sports, dedicated ski/snowboard headwear might offer additional features like helmet compatibility.
How effective are the ear flaps?
The ear flaps provide increased protection against cold and wind, helping to retain warmth and reduce discomfort from the elements.
Troubleshooting
Hat feels too tight or too loose
The unstructured design is intended to mould to your head. Try wearing it for an extended period to allow it to adapt. If still uncomfortable, consider trying a different size if available.
Water ingress despite waterproof claims
Ensure all seams are intact and that the hat has been cared for according to the instructions. Avoid using harsh detergents or fabric softeners, which can compromise the waterproof membrane. Check that the ear flaps are properly positioned.
Reduced breathability or feeling clammy
This can occur if the waterproof membrane is blocked by dirt or residue. Gently hand wash the hat with mild soap and water, then air dry completely. Ensure the hat is clean before wearing in very humid conditions.
