Heat Layer System

These liner gloves are part of the Heat Layer System, which was developed for military units in Germany and Austria but now popular worldwide as multifunctional outdoor gloves. With this system, you combine different inner gloves (liners) with other layers depending on how much the weather hates you. This way you have one glove system that works in very versatile weather conditions and you get insulating air in-between the layers.

1st Layer: Liner gloves

The first layer of the system offers 10-20% of the total heat output. Choose the liner according to the weather and what you do in it.

2nd Layer: Warm Shell Mittens

The second layer on top of the Liners is the super warm Shell Mittens that are made in different material combinations. The finger compartment zips open and folds down when you need to be able to use your fingers or operate touch screens.

3rd LAYER: Polar Hood

The outermost layer consists of windproof and water-resistant pullover mittens that offer additional protection against wind and moisture. These triple layers are fit for the coldest and harshest regions of the world.

Heat2 Gloves

Fingerless gloves with a mitten cap. Made from fleece or softshell fabric and perfect for the transition seasons.

1st + 2nd Layer: Heat 3 Gloves

These combine the first and second layer into one entity. The liner and shell mitten are sewn together, which is excellent for folks that have a tendency to misplace gloves or those that just need winter gloves for one type of winter, cold.

Materials

Strong wind- and water-repellent fabric made from 100% nylon with a membrane coating makes the Polar Hood robust and extremely durable. Thanks to the soft fabric on the thumb, you can wipe off glasses and displays without leaving scratches.
