Their key benefit lies in the combination of a waterproof Gore-Tex insert with Gore Warm technology and a durable leather palm, ensuring hands stay dry and warm.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these mitts suitable for extreme cold?

Yes, the combination of GORE-TEX with Gore Warm technology, high-loft insulation, and the removable liner provides excellent warmth for very cold conditions.

Can I use my smartphone with these mitts on?

You can use your smartphone with the removable Storm Liner glove, as it is designed to be touchscreen compatible. The outer mitt will likely hinder touch screen functionality.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to Dakine's sizing chart, typically found on their website or the product's retail page. It usually involves measuring the length and width of your hand.

What is the benefit of the removable Storm Liner?

The removable liner offers versatility. You can wear just the liner on milder days, use it inside the mitt for maximum warmth, or remove it to allow the outer mitt to dry faster.

How do I clean the leather palm?

Wipe with a damp cloth and use a specialized leather conditioner for outdoor gear to maintain its suppleness and water-repellent qualities. Avoid soaking the leather.

Is the material waterproof?

Yes, the GORE-TEX insert provides waterproof and breathable protection. The leather palm also has a water-repellent finish.

What does 'Gore Warm technology' mean?

Gore Warm technology is a system designed by Gore-Tex to provide maximum warmth. It combines the inner lining, membrane, and outer material to optimize heat retention and minimize heat loss.

Troubleshooting

Hands still feel cold

Ensure the Storm Liner glove is properly inserted and dry. Check if the gauntlet cinch is fully tightened. Consider using the stash pocket for a heat pack on extremely cold days.

Mittens feel wet inside

The GORE-TEX insert should prevent external moisture. If moisture is present, the Storm Liner might be damp, or the outer shell's DWR coating may need reapplication if it's significantly worn. Ensure the cuff closure is sealed.

Leather palm losing suppleness or water repellency

The leather requires conditioning. Apply a suitable leather treatment designed for outdoor gear to restore its properties. Reapply as needed based on usage and environmental conditions.

Zipper on stash pocket is difficult to open/close

Ensure the zipper track is clean and free of debris. Apply a small amount of wax (like beeswax or a zipper lubricant) to the zipper teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Dakine Leather Sequoia Gore-Tex Mitts come ready for immediate use. The removable Storm Liner glove can be worn separately or inserted into the outer mitt. Ensure the liner is fully dry before reinserting it into the mitt for maximum warmth.

Compatibility: The removable Storm Liner glove features a touchscreen-compatible material, allowing you to operate smartphones or other touch-enabled devices without removing the liner. The mitts themselves are designed for adult female hands.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning the Outer Mitt: Wipe down the shell and leather palm with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents. For stubborn dirt, use a specialized outdoor gear cleaner. Allow to air dry completely, away from direct heat.
  2. Caring for the Leather Palm: Periodically apply a leather conditioner specifically designed for outdoor gear to keep the goat leather supple and water-repellent. Follow the conditioner's instructions.
  3. Cleaning the Storm Liner: The fleece liner can typically be machine washed on a cold, gentle cycle with mild detergent. Air dry completely.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Ensure mitts are fully dry before storing to prevent mildew.
