First impression
The gloves make a warm and robust impression. I haven't used thicker gloves for a long time, as I usually wear mittens or 3-finger gloves on cold days. The Mieders GTX are largely made of leather on the outside, which in my experience is always a good sign when it comes to gloves. Leather naturally needs some care, but then it not only lasts a really long time, but is also ideal in its combination of good grip, high robustness and moisture protection.
The Mieders GTX are part of the ECO.SERIES, which is characterised by the consistent use of ecologically oriented, PFC-free materials. For example, a fabric whose raw materials are obtained from old car tyres and the new GORE-TEX® membrane with bluesign® certification are used in the gloves. PrimaLoft® Gold, which is made from 90% recycled material, is used as insulation.
Testers and test conditions
My hands are pretty much exactly 20cm long, I tested the Mieders GTX in size 10, which fits me perfectly. I also normally wear other gloves in size 10.
I've been testing the Mieders GTX since autumn 2023, first on the glaciers when skiing on the slopes, then also on numerous ski tours and during freeriding.
