How is the finger and thumb length? Come up Long, there is space at the finger tips

“Gloves work well as advertised however they are unisex sizes and not specifically designed for the female hand. They fit as described width ways but the finger length is too long for a woman. When trying them on without the batteries inserted, the wrist fastening is great, however once the batteries are inserted it is very difficult to get the hand through and impossible to fasten the wrist strap as it is not long enough. I have normal/thin wrists so it should not be a problem. However, I have kept the gloves as they are a great help to keeping my circulation going when riding my bike in the cold. Should Sealskins redesign a female version I would be very interested in a pair.”

Hi Marion, Thanks for sharing your experience. We’re glad the gloves help with circulation, and we’ve noted your feedback about the fit for women. If you’d like, we can arrange an exchange or suggest sizing tips to help with the finger length and wrist strap when batteries are inserted. We’ll also pass your idea for a female version to our product team. Kind regards, Team Sealskinz Ltd

“I do like mine I’ve had 4 years. Main issues are. .. battery obviously doesn’t last long on full heat. And the most annoying feature is they turn on by mistake so easily. The button only needs like knock. Either placing down or putting in pocket and it sets off heat so when you go to use they are flat. Easily resolved if button designed to maybe have a 2 second hold to first activate. Or a double click to turn on. So so so many times I have put these gloves on to find they’ve gone flat where they have been sat on the side with the heating running simply from being gently knocked.”

How is the finger and thumb length? Just Right, Fit Perfect

“The heat provided by the gloves makes a difference in cold weather - mild warmth rather than intense heat. One of the batteries runs out after about half of the stated run time which is disappointing given the price of the gloves.”

“I bought the gloves for my friend, as a present. The gloves actually keep her hands warm and they are easy to use, for riding a bike - not cumbersome like other gloves she’s had in the past! We needed to swap them for a different size and the service was amazing- at no extra cost, the new gloves arrived really quickly and all is good - she now has warm hands and is happy!! Thank you!”
