What are the best gloves for wet weather?

For guaranteed protection in wet conditions, look for gloves with our signature three-layer, 100% waterproof construction. Our Aquasealz™ membrane, our core waterproof technology, creates an impenetrable barrier against rain and snow while remaining highly breathable. This prevents water from getting in, while allowing perspiration to escape, keeping your hands dry from both the inside and out.

What are the best gloves for outdoor activities?

The best gloves for outdoor activities are those that deliver a blend of grip, weather protection, durability and comfort across a variety of conditions, from wet, windy days to cold, snowy adventures. Our high-performance outdoor gloves are crafted with durable outer shells, reinforced palms and moisture-managing liners to keep hands protected whether you’re hiking, cycling, running, walking the dog or working outdoors. Look for gloves with an Aquasealz™ membrane, ergonomic fit and breathable fabrics so your hands stay dry, flexible and comfortable throughout every stride, sprint or shift.

How do I choose gloves for waterproof protection?

To choose gloves that provide reliable waterproof protection, focus on materials and construction rather than water-resistant coatings alone. The most effective waterproof gloves use a waterproof, breathable membrane such as our Aquasealz™ membrane that blocks rain, spray and moisture from entering while allowing sweat vapour to escape. This dual action keeps your hands dry and comfortable during wet-weather outdoor activities. Also consider gloves with sealed seams, secure cuff closures and quick-dry linings, as these help prevent water ingress at common leak points and enhance overall performance in rain, sleet or snow.

How do I choose gloves for cold conditions?

When temperatures drop, the key is insulation. Our range of cold-weather gloves features different levels of thermal protection to suit your needs. For moderate cold, our insulated gloves with a soft Merino wool or micro-fleece lining offer a perfect balance of warmth and dexterity. For more extreme conditions, look for gloves with high-performance insulation like PrimaLoft® Gold. For those who feel the cold intensely or engage in very low-activity pursuits, our heated gloves provide instant and adjustable warmth to combat the most severe temperatures. Remember, a well-fitting glove is vital; ensure you have enough room for circulation to keep your hands warm.

What are the most durable outdoor gloves?

Durability is built into the Sealskinz DNA. Our most durable outdoor gloves are crafted with premium materials designed to withstand the rigours of your adventure. Look for gloves featuring robust outer layers and reinforced palms. Many of our high-performance models, such as the Waterproof Extreme Cold Gloves and those with Fusion Control™, incorporate goatskin leather or PU suede palms for superior grip and long-lasting wear. These materials provide exceptional abrasion resistance, making them ideal for everything from handling gear to navigating rough terrain. Our commitment to quality ensures that your gloves will be a reliable part of your kit for many seasons to come.

Are insulated gloves necessary for winter?

Insulated gloves are highly recommended for winter, especially when temperatures drop below comfortable levels, or your activity exposes your hands to wind, wet conditions or prolonged cold exposure. Insulation, whether fleece, synthetic thermal fill, merino wool blend or technical liners, helps trap body heat and reduce heat loss, keeping your hands warm without excess bulk that restricts movement. If you’re commuting, hiking, cycling or simply spending extended time outdoors in winter, insulated gloves offer a clear advantage over unlined gloves. For milder winter days or high-intensity activities, you might choose gloves with lighter insulation, but for true cold‐weather protection, insulation is a key performance feature.
