Technology - Gloves
We leveraged the most advanced technology available to develop a line of gloves that meets every demand for the hunter, optimizing dexterity, durability, breathability, and weatherproof protection for uncompromising performance in the field.
The Mirka Gloves feature AX® Synthetic Suede, which utilizes high-density synthetic yarns woven with proprietary fibers in a custom knitting process to create a long-lasting material that resists abrasion, breathes exceptionally well, and remains supple for maximum dexterity.
The Chinook Gloves, Mirka Gloves, and Graupel Gloves feature AX® Connect in the thumbs and forefingers for seamless operation of a touchscreen while wearing the gloves.
The Graupel Gloves feature an innovative Dry-Tex laminate that provides thermal regulation for warmth and breathability while remaining highly resistant to wind and water.
Our proprietary waterproof HydraShield™ technology is profoundly durable, breathable, and packable while remaining ultralight. This technology works perfectly for the weatherproof Altimeter Series shells, preventing rain and snow from passing through to your hands while transporting sweat vapors to the exterior of the textile to prevent cold and clammy hands.
The Altimeter Series features a PrimaLoft® CrossCore™ synthetic insulation liner, which uses a highly porous, lightweight structure originally developed by NASA scientists to create an ultralight, highly packable insulation that recovers its complete loft, dries instantly, and provides warmth even when wet.
Merino6™ is our proprietary blend of the highest quality Merino Wool and high performing Nylon 6.6 micro denier yarns. After extensive testing, we found the perfect combination to be 89% Merino Wool and 11% Nylon. By blending Wool and Nylon, we created a textile that leverages the benefits of Merino with all the advantages of Nylon. Merino6™ products have an extremely soft hand feel, regulate your body temperature while eliminating odor, and won't stretch or shrink like traditional 100% Merino textiles. Additionally, the Nylon fibers increase the moisture-wicking ability of the garment and enhance the durability of the textile, creating the perfect backcountry, next-to-skin, layering piece.
