Winter is just around the corner and brings along frosty temperatures, icy winds and bone-chilling cold. It's time to prepare for the upcoming cold season and to find the best gloves for keeping your hands warm. But how do you find gloves that are not only suitable for everyday use, but also warm enough? The answer is: warm leather gloves! When it comes to gloves, the right choice of materials is crucial. Gloves made of leather offer the perfect combination of warmth, durability and style. Leather gloves insulate well, keeping your hands extra warm. Another great advantage of natural leather over other materials such as wool or synthetics is its durability. Choose warm leather gloves and be prepared for the cold season.

Why Our Innovative Leather Gloves Are the Best Choice for Winter

Leather gloves have always been a sign of style and class. However, they often have a reputation for not being the warmest option, especially during the freezing winter months. Many traditional leather gloves are thin and not adequately insulated, making them a rather poor choice when battling the cold. But our warm leather gloves, like our DURABLE LINER PRO finger glove or our SHELL FULL LEATHER mitten glove are different. Both feature sophisticated details in combination with excellent material properties, setting new standards in terms of warmth and comfort.

What Makes Our Leather Gloves Like the DURABLE LINER PRO and the SHELL FULL LEATHER So Unique?

DURABLE LINER PRO LINER GLOVE

The DURABLE LINER PRO ensures that your hands stay dry and warm even in extreme conditions. The DURABLE LINER PRO is the first layer of the innovative HEAT LAYER SYSTEM. The HEAT LAYER SYSTEM is a 3-layer glove system with countless possible combinations. The glove system offers solutions for the most diverse requirements and can be individually adapted to your needs.

The back of the glove is made of high-quality Polartec® Wind Pro® fabric. This fabric is not only particularly wind-resistant, but also highly water-repellent. It is up to 4 times more wind resistant than conventional fleece and thus protects your hands from icy gusts of wind. Thanks to the tight knit construction, the DURABLE LINER PRO wicks away moisture and keeps your hands pleasantly dry. The palm of the DURABLE LINER PRO glove is made from soft sheepskin with 3M Thinsulate insulation. This combination not only provides excellent thermal insulation, but also optimal anti-slip properties. Whether you're holding ski poles or operating your camera, you'll always have a secure grip.

Perfect Performance: the Versatile DURABLE LINER PRO Glove

Next to the optimal fit and high wearing comfort, the DURABLE LINER PRO glove offers many other practical features. The long knitted cuff not only warms your wrists, but also ensures a secure fit. The gloves also have touchscreen fingertips on thumbs, index and middle fingers, allowing you to operate your smartphone or other touchscreen devices without the hassle of taking off your gloves. An additional pocket on the back of the hand of the DURABLE LINER PRO glove offers space for a HEAT hand warmer. These practical warmers can be inserted in the extra pockets and provide even more warmth. Therefore, you can adjust the warmth of your gloves to the current weather conditions.

The DURABLE LINER PRO glove has not only been optimized for functionality and performance, but it also meets high standards in terms of skin compatibility and sustainability. It is OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certified and is therefore tested for harmful substances and suitable for safe use. In addition, the glove is bluesign® certified, which ensures sustainable production and responsible use of resources. With this leather glove as the first layer of the HEAT LAYER SYSTEM you are optimally equipped for cold winter days, because it offers warmth, protection and comfort in one. Whether you are skiing, hiking, photographing or other winter activities, this glove will accompany and protect you.

SHELL FULL LEATHER MITTEN GLOVE

The SHELL FULL LEATHER mitten is the second layer of the HEAT LAYER SYSTEM and is our warmest mitten made from 100% goatskin. This high-quality material not only offers exceptional thermal performance, but is also extremely breathable and thus offers a comfortable wearing experience. The thumb and mitten can be easily folded back, which is ideal when you need to do fine work with your hands or need free fingers for handling. You have the flexibility to use your fingers without having to take off the entire SHELL FULL LEATHER. This way you can better handle tools, cameras or other items, while still keeping your hands warm by wearing a LINER of our first layer underneath.

The strong wind and water repellent properties of the SHELL FULL LEATHER glove make it perfect for outdoor activities. It protects against icy wind and keeps your hands dry, even in adverse weather conditions. Thus, the mitten retains its insulating effect and you can rely on long-lasting warmth. The premium insulation Primaloft Gold & Grip Control in the SHELL FULL LEATHER glove is an environmentally friendly synthetic down with a recycled content of 100%. This insulation effectively keeps your hands warm without being bulky. At the same time, it is moisture-regulating and breathable to ensure a comfortable climate in the SHELL FULL LEATHER. Even when wet, the insulation retains its effect and the glove dries quickly.

Ultimate Functionality: the SHELL FULL LEATHER

The SHELL FULL LEATHER glove is equipped with elastic catch loops for the wrist. These loops ensure a secure fit and allow the glove to be quickly taken off and put back on without the risk of losing it. An additional pocket on the back of the glove provides space for a hand warmer. The use of hand warmers in combination with the mitten provides additional warmth on particularly cold days.

What Is the Difference Between the SHELL FULL LEATHER and SHELL FULL LEATHER PRO

The SHELL FULL LEATHER and SHELL FULL LEATHER PRO gloves are both part of the high quality HEAT glove collection. While the SHELL FULL LEATHER glove has a foldable thumb for added flexibility and functionality, the SHELL FULL LEATHER PRO glove has a closed thumb for maximum thermal insulation and protection from the cold. This makes the SHELL FULL LEATHER glove ideal for outdoor activities where dexterity is required, while the SHELL FULL LEATHER PRO glove is particularly well suited for expeditions and extremely cold conditions where maximum thermal performance is required. The closed thumb of the Shell Full Leather Pro glove adds even more extra warmth, while the long, fold-out cuff protects your wrists from cold and drafts. In both cases, you can count on premium quality, superior insulation and optimal comfort.

Take Care of Your Leather Gloves Properly: LEATHER BALM

Our HEAT Leather Balm is the ideal care for the smooth leather of the DURABLE LINER PRO and SHELL FULL LEATHER glove. With a unique blend of high-quality ingredients such as beeswax, jojoba oil and avocado oil, the Leather Balm nourishes the leather, protects it from drying out and keeps it soft and supple. Small scratches or scuffs can be significantly reduced and the gloves will stay like new longer. Leather gloves should not be dried near heat sources, but preferably in a dry and airy place.

I am Francesco Gola, an engineer from Italy with a great passion for long exposures of coasts, cliffs and the sea. Thanks to my love for the seaside and travelling, I have had the opportunity to visit some of the most famous coastal places in the world, such as Lofoten (Norway) or the Algarve (Portugal).

It is a fascinating journey of discovery and I look forward to capturing many more unforgettable moments, supported by my trusted companion, the DURABLE LINER PRO.

The Fascination of the Summits: Maximilian Gierl - Doctor, Alpinist and Photographer

I am Maximilian Gierl, a doctor from Bavaria who moved to Switzerland ten years ago.
