Wet trails. Dry hands. Keep moving.
Drizzle at the start, damp paths ahead. The Sealskinz Drayton women's waterproof lightweight gauntlet gloves bring weather protection without the bulk of heavy winter handwear. Built for milder conditions, they are a practical addition to your hiking kit when bare hands are not enough.
A three-layer construction with an Aquasealz® waterproof membrane helps keep water out, while the longer gauntlet cuff adds coverage at the wrist. Lightweight and packable, they are easy to carry for cool starts, changeable forecasts and the walk back as the temperature drops.
Protection without unnecessary bulk
-
Waterproof Aquasealz® membrane: helps protect hands from rain and wet conditions.

Three-layer construction: combines comfort, durability and weather protection.
-
Gauntlet-length cuff: provides extra wrist coverage where gloves meet jacket sleeves.

-
Suited to milder weather: a lighter option rather than heavy insulation for severe cold.
Run, hike, climb: where they fit
Hiking and hillwalking: use these lightweight waterproof gloves for damp trails, cooler mornings and changeable days when you want coverage without bulky winter gloves.
Running: consider them for cool, wet outings when weather protection is your priority. Choose handwear that feels comfortable at your pace and adjust layers as you warm up.
Climbing: think wet approach walks and time away from the rock. These are not presented as specialist climbing or rope-handling gloves.
Mountaineering: treat them as a lightweight option for milder approach conditions, not as your sole hand protection for severe cold or technical winter routes.
AEC field advice
Before setting off, check how the gauntlet cuffs sit with your jacket sleeves so rain is not channelled into the openings. Put gloves on before your hands become chilled, and carry spare dry handwear for longer days in the hills. Waterproof protection does not replace the insulation you need for the forecast.
