Gloves might be the most underrated piece of gear when it comes to skiing and snowboarding. Of course all of the hard goods are important for your performance on the mountain, but having the perfect pair of gloves can really make or break a day out in the cold.
What exactly do I mean by that? (you’re probably asking) Think about a time when you were out on the mountain and you didn’t have the right pair of gloves. Maybe it was really cold and your fingers felt like they were going to fall off, or it was so warm out that you had puddles of sweat forming in the tips of the fingers of your gloves. Those days downright suck, right?
That’s what I mean about gloves being so underrated. You don’t really pay attention to them when they’re working correctly for the conditions, but you sure as hell notice when they aren’t.
You can probably guess by the title of this blog that I’m going to talk to you about LEKI’s Classic Collection Gloves, and that’s exactly why I hold you, our readers in such high esteem. You’re a smart group! 😉
I genuinely believe that LEKI has nailed the mark for the perfect cold weather gloves in their Classic collection. The gloves seem to find the perfect blend of a warm interior without sacrificing dexterity. That means your fingers will feel warm during those cold days, but you won’t have to sacrifice mobility. Can’t ask for much more than that in a ski glove.
It also helps that the gloves look absolutely incredible. The unique leather patterns and colors bridge the gap between high-end luxury goods built for appearance and the down-to-earth gear enjoyed by ski bums that’s focused on performance.
You get the best of both worlds with LEKI’s Classic Collection gloves.
The gloves also come with LEKI’s signature trigger system loop that’s meant to go with their poles. You can read more about the trigger system in my last blog. It’s an absolute game-changer.
Any of the LEKI Classic Collection gloves will provide you with the ultimate cold-weather glove no matter where you’re hitting the mountain, and the awesome colors and model selection will give you flexibility in picking out the perfect pair for your gear setup.
You simply can’t go wrong this season with a pair of LEKI Classic Collection Gloves and LEKI poles. Trust me, you’ll thank me later!
