What are the Extremities Contact Waterproof Power Liner Gloves?
The Extremities Contact Waterproof Power Liners are versatile thermal gloves designed for both outdoor adventures and everyday wear. They combine the popular Sticky Power Liner with an added waterproof, breathable membrane that provides protection in various weather conditions.
What are they made of?
The Extremities Contact Waterproof Power Liners come with X-Dry Stretch technology. This innovative material incorporates the same waterproof and breathable technology as the popular X-Dry but with the added benefit of a stretchy shell. The stretch shell provides great dexterity, making it easier to perform tasks that require fine motor skills. X-Dry Stretch features a water-resistant outer layer that effectively repels water particles away from the fabric, while the X-Dry membrane underneath ensures that external moisture like rain or snow cannot penetrate, helping to keep your hands dry. At the same time, this membrane allows moisture vapour to escape, preventing sweat buildup and maintaining warmth.
A soft brushed lining inside the gloves provides an extra layer of comfort against your skin. This lining adds to the overall warmth and cosiness, making the gloves pleasant to wear for extended periods. The soft texture also helps to wick away moisture, keeping your hands drier and more comfortable.
The gloves feature a silicone grip palm that enhances handling and grip. This design ensures a secure hold on various tools and equipment, such as trekking poles, ski poles, or a smartphone. The silicone material is durable and provides excellent traction, even in wet or icy conditions, ensuring you can maintain control and precision during your activities.
The inclusion of a PFC-free waterproof insert highlights the eco-conscious design of these gloves. Traditional waterproofing methods often use perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs), which harm the environment. By opting for a PFC-free insert, these gloves offer effective waterproofing and breathability while minimising environmental impact.
The gloves also incorporate XECO recycled content, further emphasising their environmentally friendly design. Using recycled materials helps reduce waste and conserves natural resources, making these gloves a responsible choice for eco-conscious consumers.
What are their features?
These gloves are designed with a long stretch cuff that ensures a close, secure fit around your wrist. The extended fitted cuff provides additional coverage to keep out the cold and wind and enhances the gloves' overall insulation by preventing heat from escaping. The stretch material allows the cuff to comfortably fit over your sleeves, creating a seamless barrier against the elements and ensuring the gloves stay in place during vigorous activities.
The Extremities Contact Waterproof Gloves incorporate advanced touchscreen technology at the fingertips, allowing you to easily operate your smartphone, GPS, or other touchscreen devices. This feature means you can stay connected, navigate trails, or capture photos without exposing your hands to the cold. The precision of the touchscreen-compatible fingertips ensures that you can type, swipe, and interact with your devices just as you would with bare hands.
The gloves feature a practical five-finger design, providing full dexterity and more precise hand movements. This design is crucial for activities that require fine motor skills and individual finger control, such as fastening zippers, tying knots, or handling small tools. Each finger is individually articulated, which enhances the gloves' flexibility and makes it easier to perform a wide range of tasks without needing to remove them.
