Frequently Asked Questions

• What is the difference between Seirus HeatTouch, Heatlock, and HeatWave insulation in kids' gloves?

  HeatTouch is an active heating system with a thin rechargeable battery and three heat settings that can run 12+ hours for adjustable warmth during long sessions. Heatlock is passive synthetic insulation offered in varying weights (roughly 240–460g) for consistent loft and cold-weather warmth without batteries. HeatWave uses a reflective/kinetic layer to boost retained heat and is best combined with other insulation for extra warmth in wet or windy conditions.
• How do I choose between the Jr Stitch Glove, Jr Puff Pal Mitt, and the Junior HeatTouch Atlas Glove for my child?

  Pick the Jr Stitch Glove when you need 100% waterproof protection (DryHand membrane) and dexterity for all-day active play in wet snow. Choose the Jr Puff Pal Mitt or Hot Pocket Mitt when maximum passive warmth and simple on/off coverage matter—mitts trap shared finger heat and are great for very cold, less-mobile kids. Opt for the Junior HeatTouch Atlas Glove when adjustable, battery-powered heat is useful for long storms or kids who run cold; it combines heated zones with glove-style dexterity.
• How does the HeatTouch Atlas Glove compare to a Jr Puff Pal Mitt for skiing and snowboarding?

  The HeatTouch Atlas Glove gives heated, adjustable warmth and better finger dexterity for pole plants, buckle adjustments, and grips on skis or boards. The Jr Puff Pal Mitt provides more passive insulation and typically keeps hands warmer in extremely cold, inactive moments because fingers share heat inside a mitten. For alpine skiing or snowboard lessons where grip matters, choose gloves; for very young kids or extremely cold, low-mobility situations, mitts often keep hands warmer.
• What size and fit features should I look for when buying Seirus kids' gloves, mittens, and balaclavas?

  Look for youth/toddler/junior sizing and a fit where fingertips reach the end of the glove with a bit of wiggle room—too-tight insulation loses effectiveness. Gauntlet cuffs, wrist straps, and secure closures (including magnetic quick-release features on some models) help seal out snow, while 4-way stretch Polartec fleece and softshell combodana panels provide comfortable mobility and easier layering under jackets. For balaclavas like the Kids' 3‑In‑1 or Jr Fuzzy Hood, ensure the face opening and neck coverage match helmet and jacket collar fit for full element protection.
• How should I care for Seirus heated gloves and waterproof kids' accessories to maintain performance?

  Always remove the rechargeable HeatTouch battery before washing and follow the product care tag—most heated gloves tolerate gentle machine wash or hand wash with mild detergent and should be air-dried away from direct heat or tumble drying. For waterproof items with DryHand membranes and DWR finishes, close straps and fasteners before washing, use a technical wash, and refresh DWR as needed to restore water beading. Balaclavas and combodanas made from fleece or softshell can typically be machine-washed on low agitation and air-dried to preserve stretch and breathability.
