The difference between wool gloves and wool mittens

The difference between gloves and mittens: gloves have fingers and mittens do not. In a glove, each finger must provide its own warmth. In a mitt, the fingers work together, making mittens warmer than gloves. We recommend woolen mittens if your hands get cold easily. Gloves have the great advantage of making it easier to grasp things.

Why are gloves important?

During the cold winter months, you want to head out the door well prepared so you don't catch a cold. That starts with a good pair of wool gloves. When it's cold outside, it's important to keep your body warm. Your hands, feet and the tip of your nose will cool off first, these extremities are less important because blood flow goes to the vital parts of your body first. With wool mittens or gloves of wool you protect your hands from the colder weather and because of this you will be less likely to feel cold. The gloves and mittens of Texelana are made of sheepskin and keep your hands wonderfully warm due to the special properties of wool. So you jump right on your bike or start your favorite outdoor activity carefree.

No, sheepskin gloves are not completely waterproof. They can withstand a bit of moisture but are primarily intended for dry and cold conditions.

Are sheepskin gloves suitable for wet weather?

Sheepskin gloves are less suitable for prolonged wet conditions. A little moisture is not a problem, but in heavy rain, the leather can be damaged and its insulating properties reduced. The leather can also harden if it gets too wet. To maintain your sheepskin gloves, we recommend spraying them with a protective spray (not a mousse) before first use and then regularly thereafter.
