Product Information
Full details
The SEALSKINZ Walton Kids Mittens in Pink (size 5-6) are designed for active children needing to keep their hands warm and dry during winter outdoor activities. Their key benefit is combining complete waterproofness with breathability, ensuring comfort and preventing overheating. A potential caveat is that mittens, while warmer, offer less dexterity than gloves. These lightweight mittens feature a micro fleece lining for maximum comfort and warmth, highly insulative properties, and a stretch construction for a full range of movement. They are perfect for snowy walks, play, and general outdoor adventures, ensuring children can play happily all day.

FAQs
Are these mittens suitable for very cold temperatures?
Yes, the mitten design and micro fleece lining are highly insulative and designed to keep hands warm in cold, wet conditions. For extreme cold, ensure they are paired with a suitable base layer if needed.
How do I know if I'm ordering the right size?
This guide is for size 5-6 years. Please refer to the brand's specific sizing chart for accurate measurements. Ensure the mittens fit snugly but do not restrict circulation.
Can these mittens be used for skiing or snowboarding?
Yes, they are suitable for general winter outdoor activities. The waterproof features and grip make them practical for snow sports, though specialized ski gloves might offer more dexterity for advanced maneuvers.
How long will the waterproof feature last?
With proper care and following the washing instructions, the Aquasealz waterproof technology is designed for durability. Avoid harsh detergents and high heat drying, which can degrade the membrane.
Are these mittens machine washable?
Yes, they can be machine washed on a cold cycle (30°C) with a mild liquid detergent. Do not use fabric softener, bleach, or tumble dry.
What is the main difference between these mittens and gloves?
Mittens keep all fingers together, which maximizes warmth retention. Gloves separate each finger, offering greater dexterity and finer motor control but typically less warmth than a comparable mitten.
Can my child wear these in milder, rainy weather?
Yes, the breathability of the Aquasealz technology makes them suitable for milder rainy conditions as well, preventing hands from becoming clammy due to sweat.
Troubleshooting
Hands feel damp inside the mittens.
Ensure the mittens are fully dry before wearing. If the issue persists, it may be due to excessive perspiration. Wash the mittens according to care instructions. Check that the cuff is snug to prevent water ingress.
Mittens feel stiff after washing.
Avoid using fabric softener, as this can stiffen the material. If stiffness occurs, re-wash on a cold cycle with a mild liquid detergent and air dry as instructed.
Water seems to be leaking through.
Inspect the mittens for any tears or damage to the fabric or seams. Ensure the cuff is properly positioned and snug. If the waterproof membrane is compromised, the mittens may need replacing.
Silicone grip is wearing off.
This is a sign of normal wear and tear from frequent use. Continue to use the mittens as normal; while the grip may be reduced, the core warmth and waterproof features remain functional.
