DAKINE

Wristguard Glove - Men's

DWR, or Durable Water Repellent, is a special coating applied to fabrics that makes them water-resistant. This means that when it rains or snows, water will bead up and roll off instead of soaking into the material. For outdoor gear like gloves, this treatment is essential to keep your hands dry and comfortable in wet conditions, enhancing your overall experience during activities like skiing or snowboarding.

The DK Dry Membrane is a waterproof and breathable layer used in Dakine products. It prevents water from entering while allowing moisture, such as sweat, to escape. This is particularly important during high-energy activities like skiing, where you may sweat but still need to stay dry. The membrane ensures that you remain comfortable and focused on your performance.

Rubbertec is a synthetic material specifically designed for the palms of gloves. It offers excellent grip and durability, making it ideal for activities that require a firm hold, such as skiing or snowboarding. With Rubbertec, you can confidently grip your ski poles or snowboard handles without worrying about slippage, enhancing your control and safety on the slopes.

High Loft Synthetic Insulation is a type of insulation that features a fluffy, thick structure designed to trap heat. The "high loft" aspect means it creates air pockets that retain warmth, keeping your hands cozy even in cold conditions. Unlike natural insulation, synthetic materials maintain their insulating properties even when wet, ensuring your hands stay warm and dry during winter sports.

Removable wrist guards provide added protection for your wrists, which is especially important in sports like snowboarding where falls are common. The ability to remove them allows you to customize your gloves based on your activity or personal preference. If you’re looking for flexibility and safety, gloves with removable wrist guards are a great choice for both casual and serious athletes.

While gloves with DWR Treatment are designed to repel water and keep your hands dry in light to moderate rain or snow, they may not be fully waterproof in heavy downpours or prolonged exposure to wet conditions. For extreme weather, consider gloves with additional waterproof features, like the DK Dry Membrane, to ensure maximum protection and comfort.
