What are the Extremities Tuff Bags Gore-Tex Gloves?
Meet the Extremities Tuff Bags Gore-tex Gloves, the ultimate over-mitts for your winter adventures. They are designed to slip over your regular gloves and offer extra protection and grip, making them perfect for hiking, skiing, or any other outdoor sport.
What are they made of?
The Extremities Tuff Bags Gore-tex Gloves have a 100% nylon shell and are built to withstand tough conditions, ensuring they remain a reliable companion in any environment.
The palms of these gloves are crafted from 100% PU (polyurethane), a material known for its superior grip and durability. This enhanced grip is particularly beneficial for winter sports where handling equipment, such as ski poles, snowboards, or ice axes, requires precision and control. The abrasion resistance of PU ensures that the gloves can withstand the wear and tear associated with frequent contact with rough surfaces, such as ice, snow, and rock. This added layer of functionality and protection helps to maintain a secure hold on your gear, reducing the risk of slippage and enhancing overall safety.
Central to the design of these gloves is the Gore-tex Active membrane, renowned for its breathability and waterproof properties. The Gore-Tex membrane excels in moisture management, allowing sweat to escape while preventing external moisture, such as snow and rain, from penetrating the gloves.
The breathable nature of the Gore-tex Active membrane efficiently wicked away moisture from the skin, reducing the likelihood of sweat buildup. This breathability is essential for maintaining a comfortable internal environment within the gloves, preventing overheating, and ensuring that hands remain dry even during the most intense activities.
What are their features?
The Tuff Bags Gloves have a one-handed drawcord closure that ensures a snug fit, keeping the gloves more in place during vigorous activities.
The easy-to-use closure system allows you to adjust the fit quickly, even while on the move.
The secure fit provided by the drawcord closure minimises the ingress of cold air and snow, helping to maintain a consistent and warm internal environment.
Engineered to prevent water penetration, the cuffs provide an additional barrier against wet conditions. This feature is precious in snowy or rainy environments, where keeping your hands dry is paramount. By preventing water from seeping in, the cuffs help maintain dry and warm hands, which is crucial for sustained comfort and performance during winter sports.
These gloves can be packed down to a palm-sized ball, making them easy to stow away in your backpack when not in use. This compact design ensures that they take up minimal space, which is essential for maximising your packing efficiency.
The Tuff Bags Gloves also come with handy touchscreen technology, letting you use your devices without having to take the gloves off. This means you can stay connected and easily use your smartphone or tablet, even when the weather isn’t great.
