Handschuhe

Hand warmers now accompany me in winter and summer. No matter what time of year - high up in the mountains, they prove to be my savior in times of need!

The Zanier Revolution.XZX is a robust glove for the medium temperature range, which I put through its paces in the backcountry. The glove appears to be very well made. Fit and comfort are just as important as functionality.

There was already a GOTW article about this product some time ago. In it, I described my first impressions. Since then, the gloves have regularly accompanied me into the mountains, not only for skiing, but also as a warm glove for summer mountaineering in the Alps.

You would think that ski gloves would have the least influence on our performance on the ascent and descent. However, as everyone knows, cold fingers and wet gloves can spoil the fun. Since the overall experience usually counts when skiing, snowboarding or any other snow sports activity, it's worth taking a close look at your gloves.

Now that the current winter has got off to a brilliant start, at least compared to previous years, and has already brought us snow right down to the valleys, Christmas may come as less of a surprise to some than when the tulips are blooming in the garden. Nevertheless, we would like to give you some inspiration for last-minute gifts. As usual, the PowderGuide editorial team presents its Christmas wishes and gift tips.

According to Arc'teryx, gloves are among the most demanding products in the entire range. This statement is quite understandable when you consider the performance profile of a glove in relation to the complex anatomy of the hand. As usual, Arc'teryx pays great attention to this insight. The expectations of us discerning consumers are correspondingly high. Will the numerous technical features pass the everyday test?

For the new Lithic gloves released for the 2015/2016 season, the Canadians from Arc'teryx use high-tech materials and processing techniques to achieve the best possible performance. Despite their low weight, the gloves are designed to offer high thermal performance, excellent grip and top weather protection.

If you stroll through the DIY store, you can discover all kinds of items for skiers that will make your heart beat faster. Whether screwdrivers, fabric tape, epoxy, cable ties or good work gloves for everyday use at a sensational price.

A thin-skinned workhorse made of full-grain leather for all areas of use - that's what you want in a glove.

Gloves are a matter of taste. Nevertheless, some are more convincing than others. We tell you how the Super Rambla from Black Diamond performs.
