The perfect weapon for fighting cold spring slush or hot hands on the skin track. Not only do your fingers get numb, but taking gloves on and off is just a pain, especially if you prefer under-the-cuff gloves. At the back of the Pro Ski Glove’s hand, the Hand Out’s new zipper solves all those problems.
Your fingers are just a quick zip away and your hands are comfy with the Hand Out Lightweight Gloves. You can skin without sweaty hands by simply unzipping and stick your hand out of the shell. The entire leather shell with its breathable waterproof Hipora insert as the zipper is ruggedly protective against the elements.
These gloves are a go-to for sunny days in inbounds and out and are made from a durable waterproof zipper and breathable neoprene.
