A New Approach to Waterproof Protection from Showers Pass
What would previously have sounded like an oxymoron is now a definitive truth: fully waterproof and breathable gloves and hats with a KNIT exterior of all things.
How’s that possible you ask? It all comes down to 3 bonded layers: a wear resistant knit exterior, a waterproof/breathable Artex membrane and a Coolmax moisture-wicking, antibacterial knit lining, working together so you can focus on what you’re doing and not the weather (Pro Wool glove features a luxurious lining of merino wool that naturally offers temperature regulation and odor fighting properties).
Our one complaint about winter cycling gloves is that they can be stiff and un-accommodating if they aren’t a perfect fit. Terry testers went from skeptics to advocates over this latest technology to come out of the Pacific Northwest. In addition to the outstanding performance properties and grippy palms, the gloves feel great next-to-skin and fit a variety of hand sizes.
Beyond the gloves, there are Crosspoint Beanies made of the same 3-layer knit that also provide both warmth and waterproofing. Great for winter, great for gifts, great value, as well.
