Swany The Air Men's Glove

Skin tracks, boot packs and hard-charging bump runs are where the Swany The Air Men's Glove shines. It's a lightly insulated softshell ski glove with a leather palm and a waterproof, breathable membrane, built to breathe more than a typical resort glove. The payoff is full finger dexterity and hands that stay dry from the inside as well as the outside when you're working hard.

Why we like it:

This is one of the few waterproof gloves we'd wear on a skin track. The enhanced breathability means you're not wringing out sweat at the summit.

Features and Functions:

Swany rates The Air Glove for high-output use, and the Gore-Tex waterproof, breathable membrane is the core of that promise. Over it, a soft shell back gives flexibility and weather resistance, and the performance leather palm uses Swany's Aerodyne construction for grip with fewer seams at stress points. Warmth comes from the Triplex system with Thermolite Micro insulation, layered in different weights across the hand so the fingers can move freely. A secure leash lets you hang it from your wrist during transitions.

Fit and Sizing:

Five-finger men's fit with a gauntlet cuff. The Aerodyne palm is shaped to the hand, so it feels close and controlled when you grab poles or skins.

Bottom Line:

Top choice for men who tour, hike or ski aggressively and want a glove that breathes without giving up weather protection.
