    Warm, comfortable, touchscreen com-patible and offering great range of motion and dexterity. Thats the list of purchase criteria glove design-ers are working to meet for winter sports enthusiasts. Consumers are

    always in search of a glove or mitten that will keep their hands warm and comfortable. The features that are vital to meet these needs include finding the right mix of insulation, weather protection and dexterity. The ability to mesh these components creates a solid design, says Joanna Tomasino, softgoods product category manager, Mammut North America

    Meghan Martens, product manager gloves, gaiters, shelter and storage, Outdoor Research, identifies touchscreen com-patible gloves, Gore-Tex shells and and competitive pricing as elements driving design at Outdoor Research.

    Outdoor enthusiasts also split preferences between finger and mitten style gloves.

    We continue to believe handwear must deliver greater warmth and tactility while reducing the bulk associated with traditional gloves and mittens, says Joe Edwards, presi-dent, Seirus Innovation.

    Were continuing to see a growing trend for mitts as a response to warmth but also as a style and fashion demand. The blend of form and function is key in handwear, and weve responded to consumer needs by expanding our mitt offering for the Winter 15-16 season, says Mechille Kiss, glove product line manager, Dakine.

    With innovations in insulation and construction methods,

    product designers can create gloves that offer less bulk, more comfort, warmth and dexterity. Innovations have had a tremendous impact on glove design. Insulation is now less bulky and lighter weight than ever and construction techniques such as external seams, articulation and supple materials brings temperature management and fit to new levels, says Tomasino.

    Design DetailsWeve done a lot of work around studying the human body

    and how we self regulate our body temperature. We know how blood flows in and out of the hand, and where its important to insulate, says Martens. We are using that knowledge to design how and where we insulate our gloves. Now, insula-tion brands offer active insulations that help heat and cool the body. This is incredibly helpful when building a glove for any high exertion activity like skinning uphill. It allows your hand to breathe on the way up. And on the way down it will keep you toasty and warm!

    Consumers are increasingly informed, and products are working better than they have in previous seasons. Staying ahead of the curve is not only a mandate for us as a manufac-turer and design house, but its also a top priority for the con-sumer. Folks whove made the move over to Outdry technol-ogy immediately notice the improvement in function, warmth, and dryness and quickly become advocates for the technol-ogy, says Robert Fry, global director of product merchandis-ing and design, Mountain Hardwear. The second element that is key for gloves is, quite obviously, fit. It seems elementary, but good fit is often forgone in the chase to manage costs or

    3 TRENDS TO WATCH

    Dakine Scout Glove.

    OI-FEB15-14.indd 24 1/9/15 12:30 PM

  • increase production efficiency. Weve recently engaged in a comprehensive fit analysis where we took measurements and created metrics from a large pool of hand samples of various sizes. Its helped us refine and master the details that make a huge difference when the try-on test occurs at point of sale. The gloves are immediately uniformly comfortable to the point that many people have stated that our gloves feel as though theyre custom made.

    Kiss says, Insulation has become more condensed while still retaining its effective-ness so we can utilize construction methods that allow for full dexterity without sacrificing any warmth.

    Mountain Hardwear uses Outdry water-proof, breathable technology for all of the brands most technical gloves and mitts. The technology vastly improves waterproofness over standard insert construction, and allows us material solutions that would be unavail-able with standard, old school inserts, says Fry. Its a relatively new way of building gloves and the consumer is just starting to understand the real benefits.

    One of the great debates in glove design deals with the way gloves interact with jack-ets. Some consumers prefer over the cuff, others under. While most brands offer wide selections to accommodate both preferences, there is still a healthy debate over which approach works better.

    Personal PreferenceIt really comes down to personal prefer-

    ence, says Edwards. Some consumers prefer the lower bulk and streamlined appearance of an under-the-cuff glove, while others like to know that any possible gap has been sealed with an extended gauntlet that they can cinch tightly. Seirus offers a variety of models to satisfy the needs of the broadest range of desires. Whether you run hot or cold, prefer mittens or gloves, or want sleek and slim over puffy insulation, Seirus has it.

    Martens notes, We offer a solid mix of both under cuff and over cuff constructions. In addition to personal preference, different activities can require different constructions. Like Belay gloves, dont need a full gaunt-let. We worked with Kyle Dempster on the Illuminator Sensor Glove. He tested this while climbing in Pakistan and he absolutely loved the under cuff fit and amount of insulation in this style. Having the Sensor technology allowed him to take an awesome selfie while at the top of one his climbs.

    Consumer cuff preferences are often influ-enced by the demands of their activity. Skiers need more coverage than winter runners. Many of our in-bounds, ski-focused gloves are under or under/hybrid designs as thats generally favored by front side rippers. That said, weve seen a recent uptick in the inter-est of gauntlet gloves again. My sense is its due to the fact that more folks are hitting the backcountry, or sidecountry and are wishing

    for a little more coverage and warmth, says Fry. It could also simply be the phenomena of whats old being new again. We have a hard time keeping up with the demand for gauntlet gloves. Whod have figured a few years ago?

    In addition to all-day comfort and warmth, consumers are now looking for gloves that can accommodate smartphones and other technology devices. Most customers want the ability to use their touchscreen devices without taking off their gloves. Dakine offers several insulated styles, as well as removable liners, that are touchscreen compatible. In addition, the brand has developed the new insulated Fillmore Trigger Mitt (MSRP $55) that includes a conductive finger to use on touchscreens while retaining the properties and design of a classic mitten. Its perfect for photographers and videographers, says Kiss.

    As technology evolves, consumers want to take it with them anywhere they go. Whether its in the backcoun-try, side country or inbounds, touch screens have become ubiquitous and con-sumers expect to be able to use them seamlessly wher-ever they go, says

    Edwards. Seirus offers its SoundTouch tech-nology throughout the line.

    Touchscreen Compatible Touchscreen compatible gloves are a

    huge part of our business. We offer 38 styles with touchscreen compatibility. We call this technology Sensor. We offer touchscreen compatible gloves ranging from $25 to $175. The everyday user is looking for this fea-ture as well as the technical mountain guide who needs to access his or her GPS, says Martens.

    Fry believes that the mad rush to make all gloves touchscreen compatible has seen its apex. He adds, We make a full range of touch compatible gloves from warm, lightweight Powerstretch Knits, to full on hard charging ski gloves. However, I think the consumer has found, in many instances, that a heavily insulated glove, with a touch com-patible palm, isnt all that easy to manipulate no matter how sensitive or high quality the conductive material.

    That coupled with the emergence of screens that work regardless of glove compat-ibility has changed the upcoming seasonal landscape somewhat, he adds. What is not changing is that the consumer is demanding that their gloves work in harmony with their activities. Right now that mandate is focused on smartphones and ATM compatibility. Around the corner, itll likely be something else and we glove builders will have to design around that new technology. l

  • When there is a chill in the air and the snow suddenly hits, Americans start

    buying apparel fit for the slopes. According to SIA SnowSports RetailTRAK, U.S. consumers spent $1.97B on apparel, equipment and accessories at snow sports specialty stores for the 2013/14 season, up 10 percent over 2012/13. While techy features are important, consumers are also buying garments based on their fashion quotient. Pieces need to transition from slope-to-street without a hitch, said Robert Yturri, SVP of global sales, prod-uct and brand management for Obermeyer. Customers depend on us for on-snow performance coupled with aprs-bar cuteness, he added.

    furs the industry has ever seen, commented Yturri. The brand also added trend-forward street wear influenced performance textured shell good materials across its line for Fall/Winter 2015. The Zermatt Jacket is waterproof and breathable with features including control zone ventilation, a custom collar lining for added breathability and an integrated water-resistant powder skirt with stretch panel. Bringing in a lifestyle element, the St. Mortiz Ski Cashmere Sweater has a 100 percent cashmere interior and 100 percent merino exterior. We believe the light is once again shining on us and our winter sports industry to be the trendsetters in performance and everyday wear, Yturri said.

    After an exciting run and on the way to dinner, you want to be fashionable and stand out, but not feel like you need to switch

    jackets, said Sympatex VP/general manager

    Stephen Kerns. The exec sees a niche evolving in technical luxury wear, where consumers first fall in love with a silhouette and aura, but

    at a price point where they get

    everything, including super

    technical features. Pieces from Arcteryxs Veilance collection (a Galvanic IS coat sells for $1,195 at Barneys) and Nobis (100 percent Canadian white duck down jackets with a Sympatex membrane windproof and waterproof lamination retailing

    up to $1,000) can be worn to the office and

    suggest what the wearer does on the weekend. It is an evolving category where lots of people are asking how they can participate, said Kerns. With more of an eco twist and accessible price point, Sympatex also recently worked with snowboard brand Lib Tech on its Strait Insulated Jacket. The shell is composed of 100 percent

    recycled polyester and has 10K waterproofing, and internal goggle pocket and storm jacket/pant connection.

    The rub with designing something that ticks both the aprs-ski and active endeavor boxes is balancing extreme changes in temperature. A lot of companies claim temperature regulation, but most are more of a reactive technology, said Heather Manuel, director of marketing for Outlast Technologies, which provides a proactive solution for reducing temperature fluctuations by controlling the production of

    moisture before it begins. The temperature regulating phase change materials technology was first developed for NASA, but now is used in snowmobile jackets for Yamaha, motorcycle jackets for Triumph and even Yummie by Heather Thomson Comfort Control shape wear for women. The firm is also promoting a new filling material called Universe which can help reduce the cost of down, which is a common concern among brands. The 30 percent viscose Outlast, 70 percent down combo offers thermal comfort through light, fluffy down and reduces overheating and sweating significantly, Manuel explained.

    Snowboard and Ski: The Great Apparel Divide

    It used to be that certain snowboarders would never be caught on the mountain wearing a ski jacket. Perhaps too technical or lacking pizzazz, such pieces were geared to a more mature audience. While that culture still exists, Strafe president John Gaston is seeing that mentality starting to change. The market for technical shell pieces is definitely growing and I think thats because younger audiences are realizing these are no longer pieces your dad would wear, the

    Snow Sports Moves Forward with Slope-to-Street Garments and Technical Luxe Offerings. By Suzanne Blecher

  • DAKINE Womens Heli Pro DLX 24L

    For Winter 15/16, a womens specic

    collection of Heli Packs addresses the t

    and functionality of female enthusiasts

    including a shortened back panel length

    to match a womens torso but with a

    wider base to maintain the same overall

    pack volume as the male version. The

    new narrow shoulder strap width span

    allows for efcient load transfer on a

    womans shoulders and the S-curve

    shape of the strap reduces pressure

    points. For comfort and t, the sternum

    strap has been raised to sit higher on

    the chest while the waist belt received a

    canted angle to match narrower waists

    and wider hips of the female form.

    Available in three colorways, including

    the new Mojave print (shown).

    exec said. Brands including Strafe are

    making apparel for the younger freeride crowd at the same level of performance formerly available only to alpinists. At the top of the market with technical, premium apparel, styling for snowboarding and ski garments are quite similar, Gaston said, while lower-to-mid tier price points are where creative design and street mentality emerge.

    Polartec has reintroduced printed surfaces in its collection because snowboarders are asking for more fashionable and graphic pieces, said Allison Spahr, Polartecs VP of global design. Through enhanced knit

    engineering, Power Wool, with its merino back plated construction with performance fibers on the face, provides that unique texture, commented Polartec VP product management, Doug Kelliher. Polartec is also developing performance sweater fabrics using vintage and retro-inspired patterns in updated constructions that are more comfortable and easier to care for than past versions.

    Dakine product line man-ager Amy Eichner is witnessing many younger riders bouncing between both sports (skiing and snowboarding) throughout the season, she said. In turn, the brand designs a balanced blend of silhouettes that appeal to both

    users, Eichner explained. For Fall/Winter 2015, Dakine will be introducing new shell and insulat-ed styles in the Gore-Tex perfor-mance category. The brand uses PrimaLoft insulations as well as traceable Allied Down in its fully insulated down jackets. Moving forward to Fall/Winter 2016, durable oxfords, textured her-ringbones and rugged denim enter into the mix, as well as wool/polyester mid layer pieces with DWR finish. A 3,000mm water-proof breathable laminated riding flannel is another versatile riding piece to come that is made to keep you warm and dry whether you are on the slopes or hanging around town, Eichner said.
