Here are some key features and details about the gloves: Design and Construction: The gloves resemble the classic Venitex FBF15 Chamonix bin men gloves in appearance but are actually designed as proper ski gloves. They feature extra reinforcement in the palm and thumb areas to enhance durability and grip. A leather loop is included for attaching a carabiner inside the cuff for convenience. Material and Water Resistance: The gloves are made from a new water-resistant tan leather that is durable and able to withstand various weather conditions. The leather used is thicker than newer French-style gloves, providing enhanced protection and longevity. Lining and Warmth: The gloves come with plush and thick synthetic wool liners to provide superior warmth. The lining ensures that the gloves are suitable for colder temperatures, even down to -20°C.
Sizing and Variations: The gloves are available in a full range of sizes, ranging from 3x small to XL, making them suitable for a wide range of hand sizes. This sizing range includes a ladies' size, which is a notable addition.
Comfort and Fit: The gloves are designed to feel soft right from the start, eliminating the need for a breaking-in period. They provide a snug fit with fully elasticated wrists, helping to keep them in place and maintain warmth.
Warranty and Durability: Snowshepherd offers a one-year warranty on workmanship for the gloves. The gloves are built to last, and if they wear out within the first year, Snowshepherd will replace them free of charge, even for ski workers, guides, and seasonnaires.
Testing and Endorsements: The gloves have been extensively tested on Chamonix Off Piste Instruction Courses and received positive feedback from various individuals, including ski guides, pisteurs, and instructors. They have been tested in a wide range of conditions, from extremely cold temperatures to warmer weather.
Affordability: Snowshepherd aims to offer gloves of comparable quality to the Heli brand but at a more affordable price. By working directly with the factory and eliminating middlemen and distributors, Snowshepherd can provide customers with a cost-effective option.
Technical Specifications: The gloves are made from premium full hide leather that is 2.5 to 3mm thick, ensuring durability. The synthetic wool liners are extra thick and provide excellent insulation. The high cuff design allows the gloves to be worn either under or over ski jackets.
Overall, the Snowshepherd Leather Ski Work guide gloves are designed to provide excellent performance, warmth, and durability for skiing and other outdoor activities. They are backed by testing, endorsements, and a warranty that reflects the manufacturer's confidence in their quality.
