Design details
WARMTH OF THE GLOVE
All our gloves are laboratory tested on a thermal hand. The minimum temperatures for use (recommended and limit) come from a study carried out with a test panel of 23 walkers exposed to temperatures ranging from 5°C to -20°C and 10 km/h winds.
For the SPRINT glove:
- Temperature rating = 5°C
- Minimum temperature = -1°C
WATERPROOFING OF THE GLOVE
The resistance of a fabric is measured by the height of a water column in mm that can be supported by the fabric (test based on the ISO 811 standard). The higher the pressure, the more waterproof the fabric.
These are the waterproof ratings of the SPRINT gloves: our glove is designed with a membrane that is resistant to a 10,000 mm column of water after 5 washes.
DEXTERITY OF THE GLOVE
The entire palm is made of full grain goatskin offering incredible flexibility and dexterity.
In particular, we tested the ability to easily adjust your mountaineering crampons with your gloves on.
For better grip and precision, the fingers of the gloves are preformed.
EASE OF USE OF THE GLOVE
An elastic tie keeps the gloves attached to your wrists when you want to remove them.
The cuff is adjusted with velcro.
These gloves have loops so they can be paired together for easy storage
