What are the Fransham Gauntlet Gloves?
They're warm, waterproof gauntlet-style gloves that utilise a combination of durable materials, premium insulation and innovative waterproof technology to provide the ultimate comfort and protection for adventuring in cold, snowy conditions. Primarily designed as ski gloves, they're ideal for various snow sports, mountaineering and alpinism.
What are they made from?
Sealskinz has used a combination of Primaloft® Gold insulation and their own Aquasealz™ waterproof technology to keep your hands toasty and dry, whatever the weather. Not only is this combination incredibly warm, but it's also highly breathable, allowing sweat to escape when you're working hard to maintain a better grip.
PrimaLoft® Gold Insulation is used for ample warmth throughout the gloves. This synthetic insulation is cosy, breathable and highly efficient with lower bulk and weight. The small fibres of this insulation provide maximum thermal efficiency; they're thinner than human hair, and the thinner the fibres, the warmer the insulation will be. Synthetic insulation is also effective when wet, unlike down insulation which loses all its heat as it becomes damp, making it ideal for exploring in challenging conditions.
Aquasealz™ waterproof membrane is a triple-layer design consisting of a high-performance hydrophilic membrane sandwiched between a durable outer layer and a soft, moisture-wicking inner layer. Unlike traditional hydrophobic membranes, this hydrophilic membrane is made from materials that attract water molecules, allowing them to draw moisture through the membrane much more effectively, whilst still protecting your hands from rain and snow. Allowing moisture vapor from the body to escape to the outside of the gloves, keeps you dry and comfortable, no matter how hard you’re working.
The palm of the glove is constructed from premium, supple goat skin leather, which delivers excellent grip, even after continued wear and provides added durability to the gloves, allowing them to last for many years to come. The back of the hands are lined with a soft fleece fabric for added comfort and added warmth.
What are their features?
The Fransham’s are gauntlet-style gloves, which refers to the additional length of the glove that provides greater coverage for your wrists. They feature elasticated wrists with a secure wrist strap to allow you to dial in the perfect fit around chunky layers to keep your hands warm and the elements out. As previously mentioned, the gloves feature a supple goat leather palm for excellent grip and durability, a soft fleece lining and Sealskinz Aquasealz™ technology for breathable waterproof protection.
