Purchased about 3 years ago. I haven't used these gloves for their intended outdoor purpose. My child used them as a toy indoors, so the surface was a little dirty, and I washed only the surface with soap. I apologize if I missed anything. There may be slight fuzzing on the ribbed parts. For those who understand. I think I've only worn them on my hands a few times. The inside is warm and the outside is waterproof, so unless something extreme happens (playing in slushy snow for a long time, etc.), water shouldn't seep through. They may be slightly compressed during shipping. Glove type: Mittens
