The German glove specialist KinetiXx is launching two new models for those target groups who do not want to commit themselves to a single sport. The gloves Malthe and Meru are aimed at outdoor sports enthusiasts who practise various activities in winter weather. Areas of use include snowshoeing, winter trekking, skiing and cycling.
Both models are designed to offer the necessary freedom of movement for different sports, while the touchscreen compatibility and well thought-out details emphasise their claim to be all-round gloves for active multisport athletes. Both models come from the Change2Green product line and use recycled materials.
Meru: PrimaLoft and Gore Windstopper for extreme cold
The Meru is aimed at particularly cold-sensitive athletes and offers maximum warmth for winter activities in sub-zero temperatures. The Gore Windstopper softshell material protects against the wind chill effect, which cools hands quickly. The generously sized 200 gram PrimaLoft Gold filling provides insulation. A tight-fitting knitted cuff on the wrist prevents cold and snow from penetrating. The gloves are suitable for Kinetixx or Decathlon available.
According to glove specialist KinetiXx, the palm is made of high-quality sheepskin, which should be supple and non-slip at the same time. The material is designed to offer reliable protection against rough contact with stones, branches or ski edges. The combination of soft upper material and flexible sheepskin is used to ensure high tactility. The index finger and thumb have a touchscreen function for operating mobile devices. The glove is made from 40 per cent recycled materials and costs 99.99 euros.
Malthe: breathable despite protection from the cold
The Malthe model uses breathable Gore Windstopper fleece and is suitable for a wide range of outdoor activities. The material is designed to provide reliable protection against icy winds and offer high vapour permeability during strenuous activities. According to the manufacturer, snowflakes and raindrops simply roll off thanks to the water-repellent properties. A soft knitted cuff on the wrist provides additional warmth and comfort.
The palm has a micro suede trim with silicone grip for a secure hold of your smartphone, bike handlebars, trekking pole or other equipment. The integrated touchscreen function enables device operation without removing the gloves. Reflective elements increase visibility at dusk or at night. The glove uses up to 75 per cent recycled materials and is suitable for 49.99 Euro available.
