FAQs
Are these mittens touchscreen compatible?
No, these mittens do not feature integrated touchscreen-sensitive materials on the fingertips.
Can I machine wash these mittens?
It is highly recommended to hand wash them in cool water to preserve the waterproof membrane and insulation integrity.
How do I attach the wrist leashes?
The wrist leashes typically connect via a loop or clip system located near the inner wrist. Simply feed the loop through the anchor point and secure it.
Are these suitable for temperatures below zero?
Yes, the 3M Thinsulate insulation is specifically designed to provide warmth in cold winter conditions.
Should I wear these under or over my jacket sleeve?
For the best protection against snow entry, it is generally recommended to wear the cuff inside your jacket sleeve if your sleeve has an adjustable closure.
Troubleshooting
Cold hands despite wearing high-performance mittens
Ensure the wrist cuff is pulled tight. If circulation is restricted by the fit, the mittens may actually feel colder; verify you have the correct size for your hand.
Water soaking into the outer fabric
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating may have worn off. Apply a specialized fabric re-waterproofing spray to the outer shell after cleaning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Freeride II mittens, always shake off excess snow before entering indoor environments to prevent melting and moisture absorption. When fitting, ensure the inner elasticated cuff is pulled snugly over your wrist or under your jacket sleeve for maximum thermal efficiency. For cleaning, hand wash in cool water with a mild technical detergent to avoid damaging the waterproof membrane. Avoid machine washing or harsh bleaching agents. Air dry them away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can degrade the insulation and outer synthetic materials. Store in a cool, dry place during the off-season.
