Product Information
Full details
The Barts Freesstyle Skimitts are designed for adult skiers and snowboarders who require reliable thermal protection and moisture management during long days on the mountain. These mittens excel in harsh weather thanks to their integrated waterproof Hydroshell II membrane and high-loft recycled insulation, though they may feel bulkier than thinner, high-dexterity gloves, which can make fine motor tasks more challenging while on the slopes.

FAQs
Are these mittens waterproof?
Yes, they feature a Hydroshell II waterproof membrane to keep hands dry in snowy conditions.
What material is the insulation made from?
The insulation consists of 70% recycled polyester, offering a balance of warmth and environmental sustainability.
Do these mitts come with leash straps?
Yes, they include integrated elastic bands that attach to your wrists to keep the mitts secure when you take them off.
Can I use my phone with these on?
Due to the mitten design and PU grip palm, they are not designed for touchscreen use. You will likely need to remove them to operate a device.
How should I wash them?
Spot clean only using a damp cloth. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the specialized membrane and palm coating.
Troubleshooting
Hands feel cold despite insulation
Ensure the adjustable wrist strap is tightened sufficiently to trap heat, and check that you are not wearing damp liners underneath.
Water penetrating the exterior
Ensure the cuff is properly cinched over your jacket sleeve. If the fabric looks dull, it may need a professional-grade waterproof re-treatment spray.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Barts Freesstyle Skimitts, always secure the wrist straps before heading out to avoid losing a mitt on the chairlift. When not in use, avoid storing them in damp, confined spaces to prevent odors. To clean, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth; avoid machine washing as this can damage the waterproof Hydroshell II membrane and the PU grip material. If the interior requires freshening, turn them inside out carefully and air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can degrade the synthetic materials.
