Product Information
Full details
This Sealskinz Waterproof Bobble Hat and Knitted Mitten Set is designed for adults seeking reliable protection against cold and wet weather. Its key benefit is the combination of complete waterproofness with breathability, ensuring comfort during outdoor activities. A potential consideration is that the mitten design, while warm, may offer less dexterity than fingered gloves. The set features a jacquard knit bobble hat with Aquasealz technology and a soft microfleece lining, paired with matching knit mittens that include glove clips and an S-Print palm for grip. It's ideal for Autumn and Winter use in both mountain and urban environments.

FAQs
Is the hat truly waterproof or just water-resistant?
The hat features Aquasealz technology, which is designed to be fully waterproof and breathable, offering protection against prolonged exposure to wet conditions.
How do I determine the right size for the hat and mittens?
The set is available in adult sizes S/M and L/XL. It is recommended to check any available sizing charts or try them on if possible to ensure a comfortable fit.
Can I use these in very cold temperatures?
Yes, the set is highly insulative and designed for colder climates. The microfleece lining in the hat and the mitten design help retain warmth effectively.
How should I clean the hat and mittens?
Both the hat and mittens are machine washable. It is recommended to follow the specific care instructions on the product label, typically using a gentle cycle and avoiding fabric softeners or bleach.
Do the mittens have individual finger compartments?
No, these are knitted mittens with a traditional mitten design, meaning all four fingers are together, which helps to maximize warmth.
What is the S-Print palm for?
The S-Print on the palm of the mittens is a textured application designed to provide enhanced grip, making it easier to hold objects or equipment.
Are these suitable for intense physical activity?
The materials are moisture-wicking, which helps manage sweat during activity. However, the mitten design may limit dexterity for certain sports requiring fine motor skills.
Troubleshooting
Hat feels damp inside despite not being rained on.
This may be due to perspiration buildup. Ensure the hat is not too tight, allowing for better air circulation. The moisture-wicking properties should manage sweat, but intense activity can sometimes exceed its capacity. Ensure the hat is fully dry after washing.
Mittens feel cold.
Ensure the mittens are fully dry before use. For extreme cold, consider wearing a thin liner glove inside the mittens. The mitten design is intended for maximum heat retention, so check for any damage to the knit or lining.
Water seeping through the hat.
Check the Aquasealz membrane for any tears or damage. Ensure seams are intact. Proper washing and care are crucial; avoid harsh detergents that could compromise the membrane's integrity.
