GLOVES KARPOS RACE Black/karpos Green

Karpos Race are technical winter gloves made from K-Shell Soft Shell fabric, designed for high-intensity activities in cold conditions. With a low weight of just 68 g and carefully considered construction, they are an ideal choice for competitive ski mountaineering, trail running and trekking.

What conditions and activities are they designed for?

They rank among the top tier of technical gloves for winter outdoor activities. Weighing under 70 g, they are among the lightest models, prioritising breathability and a precise grip over thick insulation. They are designed for advanced ski mountaineers and trail runners who need protection from the cold without overheating during intense activity.

Key features and material

• K-Shell Soft Shell: The breathable, warm fabric on the back of the hand and palm protects against wind and cold during intense activity.
• Silicone print: The special texture on the palm provides a reliable, secure grip on ski or trekking poles.
• Ultrasuede® reinforcements: Durable inserts on the thumb and between the index finger prevent wear in the areas subject to the most stress.
• Elasticated cuff: Stretch seams and an elasticated edge with 13 % elastane ensure a close fit around the wrist and prevent cold air from getting in.

In use

When ski mountaineering and racing, the breathable back-of-hand construction prevents excessive sweating during steep, fast climbs.

On winter trail runs and treks, the silicone print on the palm and Ultrasuede® reinforcements provide a firm grip on poles without sacrificing finger sensitivity.

Cut and fit

The gloves are designed with an anatomical, close fit that follows the natural shape of the hand. Stretch seams around the wrist and the elasticated cuff edge ensure the glove stays in place even during very dynamic arm movements.
