My gloves are not warm enough?Updated 12 hours ago
During cold weather, our bodies react to being cold by re-directing our blood supply to our vital organs, and away from our extremities. In order to keep our hands and feet warm it is important to keep the whole body warm and protected.
Top Tips
During the colder months, we naturally layer up with warmer jumpers and coats.
If your hands are feeling cold in your gloves then it may be that they are not thick enough for your needs, just like wearing a lightweight coat in winter.
Our cosy merino glove liners can be added in under any of our waterproof gloves, just like adding in a jumper;
SOLO MERINO LINER GLOVE
Close fitting inner gloves in fine Merino wool for increased comfort. Ideally worn under our range of waterproof gloves to give added insulation.
Warm up your hands first and pull down your sleeves
Make sure that your hands are warm when you first put your gloves on. Pull your sleeves down to minimise any gaps between your gloves and clothing so cold air can't get in.
Make sure that gloves are not tight on the hands as this may restrict circulation and make hands feel colder. Warm air needs to be able to circulate around your fingers.
Wearing a hat alongside gloves is one of the best ways to keep warmer overall, as you are keeping more body heat in.
Wear mittens rather than gloves
Mittens keep all fingers together, allowing them to share warmth more effectively than separate glove fingers.
Keep active
Activity generates heat to help the body hands and feet keep warm.
If you feel your hands getting cold, try moving your arms or clenching your fists to improve circulation.
Each of our products includes a detailed description to help you make an informed choice about which item best suits your activity.
Comfort in cold conditions is highly individual and depends on the level of activity. Therefore, we recommend selecting your product based on your own personal comfort and operating temperature.
Please note that Sealskinz cannot accept returns for products deemed “not warm enough” after use, unless a manufacturing fault is identified as the cause.
