Adult Downhill Skiing Mittens - Plum

COMPONENT REPELLENCY

All Wedze gloves and mittens have a water-repellent treatment that means their fabric does not absorb water, but instead ensures it slides across the surface. This means the fabric does not become saturated with water. It remains light and warm. A fabric becomes water-repellent thanks to a treatment applied to its outer surface. To remain effective, this treatment must be renewed every 2 to 3 washes with specific products that are available in our stores.

WATERPROOF MEMBRANE

This ski glove incorporates a water-resistant membrane that consists of a very thin polymer film placed between the lining & the part of the glove in contact with outside. This membrane acts as barrier to water and makes the product waterproof. In addition, external materials of the product have a water-repellent treatment that reduces water absorption. Only a rubber-type glove is completely waterproof. A glove with a membrane, under extremely humid conditions, will have limited watertightness.

WINDPROOFING

All Wedze gloves and mittens are windproof. Did you know that the wind makes you feel colder? At an outside temperature of 0°C and a wind speed of 20 km/h, the temperature will feel like -10°C. Windproof fabrics limit windchill and cold caused by the speed of the sport.

EASY ON

Simply pull the wrist-strap with the opposite hand for speedy and effective adjustment.

ANTI-LOSS SYSTEM

An elastic drawstring that goes around the wrist can be used to take off the gloves on ski lifts without losing them.

WHAT IS THE DEXTERITY OF A GLOVE/MITTEN ?

It's the ability of the glove to handle objects. The dexterity of each of our gloves was rated in a field test, on a scale of 1 to 5. When the dexterity of the glove is 5, it is as easy to handle objects as it is with a bare hand.

To assess the level of dexterity of our gloves, we tested the ability to put on and take off ski goggles, adjust the hooks on ski boots, and fasten or unfasten a jacket.
