Gore-Tex Gloves

Gore-Tex Gloves: THE solution for keeping your hands warm in the mountains

An essential aspect of outdoor sports practiced in high mountains is the equipment. To face harsh weather conditions, it is crucial to equip yourself with suitable clothing and accessories. The extremities of the body, such as hands, feet, or head, suffer more from low temperatures, so it is very important to protect them properly against the cold. One solution to keep your hands warm, both during exertion and during breaks, is to opt for Gore-Tex Gloves. The Gore-Tex Gloves are waterproof and breathable, protecting you from snow and rain without feeling the moisture from sweat. In addition to achieving this technical feat, Gore-Tex Gloves are comfortable and will shield you from the wind, allowing you to face the changing and demanding weather of the high mountains!

What is Gore-Tex?

Gore-Tex is a membrane that is sufficiently waterproof to prevent water droplets from passing through when it rains or snows. However, Gore-Tex Gloves allow sweat to escape in the form of water vapour. Invented in the late 1950s, the Gore-Tex membrane has established itself in the market and become the leading waterproof solution in sports textiles. The Gore-Tex membrane must be placed between two other layers of fabric: a lining inside the glove and another layer on top, outside of it. 

Why choose Gore-Tex Gloves

Gore-Tex Gloves are waterproof

The main characteristic of Gore-Tex Gloves is that they are waterproof. The Gore-Tex Gloves do not allow rain droplets or melting snowflakes to penetrate your Gore-Tex glove. Thus, your hands will be protected from moisture by these gloves. Thanks to Gore-Tex Gloves, you will not experience that unpleasant sensation of damp hands, and you will not get cold. This is the case with Gore-Tex ski gloves Worldcup Race Coach Flex S Gtx from Leki or the women's gloves Icon GTX® W by Salomon. Both pairs of Gore-Tex Gloves will keep your hands dry throughout your effort.

Gore-Tex Gloves are breathable

In addition to being waterproof, Gore-Tex Gloves are breathable! The Gore-Tex Gloves prevent rain and snow from getting in while ensuring good moisture management. With Gore-Tex Gloves, no more damp hands after intense effort! Whether it's raining, snowing, or sunny, Gore-Tex Gloves will keep your hands dry for a successful adventure and more enjoyment during exertion. You will appreciate this quality in the men's gloves Force Gtx M from Salomon as well as in the women's Gore-Tex ski gloves LD Powder Gtx Mitten from Millet. Both pairs of Gore-Tex Gloves maintain a good level of breathability despite their waterproofness.

Gore-Tex Gloves are windproof

Another major advantage of Gore-Tex Gloves is that they are windproof. While other breathable materials allow air to enter the glove, Gore-Tex Gloves prevent wind from passing through. Thanks to Gore-Tex Gloves, you will not get cold during your outdoor adventure. Indeed, while air circulates sufficiently in the Gore-Tex glove to allow sweat to escape, it does not allow the wind to penetrate the glove, creating that cold sensation in your hand. This is the case, for example, with the men's Gore-Tex gloves Alpenglow II Gtx by Eider and the women's gloves Force GTX® W from Salomon, two pairs of Gore-Tex Gloves that will effectively protect you from the wind, even at high altitudes.

Gore-Tex Gloves are comfortable

As the Gore-Tex membrane is ultrathin, it allows Gore-Tex Gloves to be very flexible. Thanks to this flexibility, Gore-Tex Gloves are very comfortable and provide you with good freedom of movement. With Gore-Tex Gloves, you will feel like you are in a cocoon and more precise in your movements, just like in the men's gloves K 3 In 1 Gtx Glove from Millet.
