Exploring Waterproof Gloves

Discover the types and features of waterproof gloves for any year-round activity

When it comes to outdoor performance, keeping your hands warm, dry, and protected is a non-negotiable priority. For adventurers, athletes, and everyday explorers, gloves can make or break the experience. That’s why waterproof gloves are essential. Sealskinz, offers a wide range of gloves that blend technology, comfort, and style. 

Protecting your hands...

Waterproof gloves are designed to keep your hands completely dry while remaining breathable and comfortable. Unlike standard gloves, which may absorb water and become heavy or cold, waterproof gloves use a multi-layer construction that blocks external moisture while allowing perspiration to escape. Our middle membrane in all of our waterproof gloves uses our patented Aquasealz™ technology which ensures waterproofness and breathability in all gloves.

Regular gloves are made with standard fabrics like wool, cotton, or synthetic blends. They tend to provide warmth but often soak through in wet weather. Once wet, they lose insulation properties and can become uncomfortable. The big difference between a regular glove and our waterproof gloves is our gloves incoporate advanced waterproof membranes. They keep your hands dry even in heavy rain or snow, whilst retaining warmth and comfort regardless of outside moisture. These gloves are more durable and engineered for more time spent outdoors!
