Frequently Asked Questions
Do these mittens run true to size?
Fit tends to run slightly generous — most wearers find their standard glove size works well, but if you're between sizes, sizing down gives a snugger, warmer fit.
Can I machine wash these mittens?
Hand wash only. The Sherpa pile and EXO Shield insert are best preserved with gentle hand washing in cold water and air drying flat — machine washing can mat the fleece pile and degrade the waterproof membrane over time.
How well does the EXO Shield waterproofing hold up after repeated wear?
The EXO Shield insert provides genuine waterproof-breathable protection, not just a DWR spray coating. It holds up well through a season of regular use, though performance can diminish if the mittens are machine washed against care instructions.
What's the clip for and is it useful?
The clip attaches the two mittens together for storage or while traveling — useful for keeping pairs together in a gear bag or clipped to a backpack. It's a small but practical detail that prevents the classic lost-mitten problem.
How warm are these for extended outdoor use?
The high-pile Sherpa fleece with brushed back provides substantial insulation for cold-weather activities. These are built for warmth in winter conditions, though they're not rated for extreme alpine cold — best suited for resort skiing, commuting, and everyday winter use.
