Women's skit gloves in the Sportano shopWhen we think of ski touring, images of wild, snowy landscapes, skiers traversing difficult terrain and a set of appropriate equipment often come to mind. Amongst these, skitouring gloves play an extremely important role. If you are a woman and a passionate skydiver, you surely realise the importance of specialised gloves designed for the female hand. Many women appreciate their functionality, but also the design adapted to the female aesthetic.
In the Sportano shop you will find high-quality women's skit gloves from proven brands such as La Sportiva, ZIENER, DYNAFIT, KinetiXx and Black Diamond.Construction and technology of women's skit glovesWomen's skit gloves are the result of a combination of advanced technology and an understanding of the specific characteristics of the female hand. When you look at how these gloves are designed and manufactured, you can see many innovative solutions that translate into comfort, functionality and style.
Anatomical shaping - the female hand differs in structure from the male hand, requiring a specific approach to glove shaping. Contoured fingers, a narrower cut in the wrist area and consideration of softer leather are just some of the aspects that manufacturers take into account when creating models for ladies.
Quality materials - women's skit gloves often use a combination of natural leather and modern synthetic materials. Leather, especially that made from deer or goat, is prized for its natural insulating ability and durability. However, synthetic fabrics such as Gore-Tex or PrimaLoft add waterproofing and extra insulation, essential in extreme conditions.
Innovative membranes - the aforementioned membranes play a key role in ensuring that the gloves are both waterproof and breathable. This ensures that hands remain dry even during intense exertion and that moisture is effectively wicked away, preventing overheating.
Thermal insulation - many women's skit gloves use multi-layer insulation, combining foams, mesh and other insulating materials to ensure optimal heat retention. This often includes technologies that adjust the level of insulation depending on the outside temperature.
Reinforcements and add-ons - for better grip and durability, the fingers and palms of gloves are often reinforced with additional layers of material, especially in areas prone to abrasion. Many models also have extras such as straps to prevent loss, touch screens for smartphones or clips to connect the gloves.
Fitting and choosing the perfect women's glovesTo ensure you stay comfortable and enjoy every moment you spend skydiving, there are a few key considerations when choosing gloves.
Size is key. Gloves must be neither too tight nor too loose. A model that is too tight will restrict mobility and can cause discomfort, while gloves that are too loose can lead to heat loss.
Another consideration is the length of the cuff. Women's models often offer longer cuffs, which are great for protecting against snow and wind. However, it is worth considering whether such a cuff will restrict your movements, especially when using ski poles.
Don't forget about aesthetics either. Women's skittering gloves come in a range of styles and colours, so it's worth choosing a model that is not only functional but also matches the rest of our gear and clothing.
