Cold Hands Cannot Build. Cannot Drive. Cannot Create.
The Gauntlet reclaims winter dexterity. Crafted from genuine sheepskin leather with a brushed fleece lining, these gloves deliver the tactile precision required for driving, typing, and tool work — all while maintaining thermal comfort down to -10 degrees Celsius. The leather exterior blocks wind; the fleece interior traps body heat. Together, they create a microclimate that keeps fingers functional when the thermometer drops.
The touchscreen-compatible fingertips deserve special mention. Conductive fibers are woven into the leather at the thumb and index finger, enabling smartphone operation without removing the gloves. This is integrated into the leather itself during tanning, rated for thousands of screen interactions before any degradation. Answer calls, navigate GPS, and skip tracks without exposing skin to the cold.
Winter is six months long in some places. The Gauntlet makes it feel shorter.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do the touchscreen tips work with screen protectors?
A: Yes. The conductive fiber technology works through standard tempered glass and plastic screen protectors. Performance may vary with thick rugged cases.
Q: How do I determine my glove size?
A: Measure the circumference of your dominant hand across the knuckles (excluding thumb). S (18-20 cm), M (20-22 cm), L (22-24 cm), XL (24-26 cm). When between sizes, size up for relaxed fit or down for performance fit.
Q: Are these fully waterproof?
A: The sheepskin leather is water-resistant but not fully waterproof. Light rain and snow will bead on the surface. For heavy downpour, apply a leather waterproofing spray before use.
Q: Will the touchscreen capability wear off?
A: Unlike coated-tip gloves, The Gauntlet integrates conductive fiber into the leather during tanning. With proper care, the touchscreen function should last the life of the glove.
Q: Can I use these for skiing or snowboarding?
A: The Gauntlet is optimized for driving and daily winter use down to -10 degrees C. For high-intensity snow sports in colder conditions, we recommend a dedicated insulated ski glove. The Gauntlet excels as a liner or driving glove for ski trips.
Q: How does sheepskin leather compare to cowhide or goatskin for gloves?
A: Sheepskin is the preferred leather for driving and dress gloves due to its natural elasticity and fine grain. It conforms to hand contours more readily than cowhide (stiffer, better for work gloves) and offers a smoother surface than goatskin (more textured, better for grip). The tradeoff is durability — sheepskin is thinner and may show wear faster than cowhide in high-abrasion scenarios like rope handling or construction work.
Q: Can I use hand sanitizer while wearing these gloves?
A: Avoid alcohol-based hand sanitizers on the leather surface — alcohol dries and cracks leather over time. The touchscreen tips work through the conductive fiber, so you do not need sanitizer on the gloves themselves. If the leather gets soiled, spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap, then condition with a leather balm.
Q: How warm are these compared to ski gloves?
A: The Gauntlet is rated for comfort to -10 degrees C during moderate activity like walking or driving. Ski gloves are typically rated to -20 degrees C or lower with thicker insulation. For standing still in severe cold, The Gauntlet works as a liner inside a heavier outer glove. For most urban winter commutes, it provides sufficient warmth without the bulk that makes driving and phone use difficult.
Q: Will these gloves stretch out over time?
A: Sheepskin leather has natural elasticity and will conform to your hand shape over the first 10-15 wears without becoming loose or baggy. The elastic wrist closure maintains its tension indefinitely. If the gloves feel snug out of the box, wear them for a few hours indoors — they will relax to a custom fit that stays consistent for the life of the glove.
