Snowshepherd Leather Ski Guide Pro gloves colour Tan with reinforced palm, thumb and fingers, were designed and tested on our Chamonix Off Piste Ski Courses.

New reinforcing on the palm and thumb area for this season, following feedback from heavy rope users, they are now super bullet proof!

These new gloves are based around the Kinco 901 gloves from the USA, however we have improved on them, by adding a waterproof Hipora® membrane, plus our gloves are 100% leather not pigskin, so they are softer and much easier to live with. We have also added a extra long cuff, plus leather tab that folds back inside the glove to provide even more durabilty when putting your gloves on.

Plus the leather is all leather side on our gloves so no suede type effect.

They have a Hipora® waterproof membrane, plus the membrane and the lining is not sewn into the seams so ours are much more comfortable to wear.

The leather is pre-treated as well, so they have good water resistance, we recommend using the Nikwax, use a Nikwax top up over time to keep them nice and supple and the leather water proof.  We recommend that this is applied before use, to maximise the life of your gloves.

So what else is new with these gloves, well, we have a full range of sizes, from XXS small to XL, this is a first for this style of glove, so finally a ladies size! Plus with the membrane and the construction they are pretty much totally wind proof so no more chilly drafts creeping into the seams.

Insulation is Thinsulate TM we have gone for a super level of warmth on both the gloves and mittens, we believe they are warmer, if thats possible, than the competition.

They feel soft straight away, so no need to break them in for the first week, but they are better after a few days use, they do give a little with use this is quite normal for a 100% leather glove.
