In short
Good for
- Cold, wet winter days on the hill: Sealskinz markets it for skiing, mountaineering and climbing
- Tasks that need grip with a waterproof glove on, from the goatskin palm
Strengths
- Sealed Aquasealz membrane bonded to the other layers with Fusion Control, an 'open mesh' bonding that Sealskinz says speeds moisture out of the glove
- Merino wool lining and a goatskin leather palm and outer panels (50% goatskin, 46% polyester, 4% elastane)
- Sealskinz sells it as a premium cold-weather glove for skiing, mountaineering and climbing
Weaknesses
- Spot clean only: Sealskinz says not to machine wash it
- Sealskinz.com's page makes no touchscreen claim
- Only 18 Sealskinz.com reviews of the current glove, so little feedback on wear: one reports the lining detaching, one that it wasn't warm enough
- Sealskinz publishes no weight
