Hotfingers unveils styles from six different lines, Gore-tex, Alpine Carver, After Ski, Pro Junior, and Kids Crew Tot, at SIA.
“The Hotfingers line is about simple and functional gloves made with technical components to keep hands warm, dry and comfortable”, said Bill Dzierson, Vice-President, Swany America Corp. (and Hotfingers). “We differentiate ourselves by offering a wide range of gloves that combine style and function using the latest fibers and fabrics in the market, such as Gore-Tex®, Thermore®, ComforTemp® and Thinsulate”.
Gore-Tex®-This line offers six waterproof, breathable Gore-Tex® styles including a Windstopper® glove. The highlighted model is the insulated GT1 glove made of a water repellent and breathable outer shell with a strong and durable Diamond grip palm. It features a fleece storm cuff and quick release strap. The Windstopper® GT6 glove is an all around winter glove.
Alpine Carver-This collection presents classic gloves and mittens designed for outdoor activities in wet and cold conditions. Gloves like the AP215L and AP217M feature a fleece cuff with pull tab and gartered wrist. Both gloves are insulated with Thermore®, a light loft polyester insulation which resists compression and retains its integrity even when wet. Also new in this collection are the HFP3, a gauntlet glove with a removable liner and a zipper pocket on the back to accommodate a heat pack, and CX210, a lightweight spring ski or halfpipe glove made with a soft shell fabric and leather palm.
After Ski-This program presents casual gloves using different types of fleece and leather. The OT203X is an insulated windproof micro-fleece glove with leather and safety grip palm. The OT210 glove has an anti-pill fleece shell with leather suede palm and is insulated with a fleece liner and a windproof/waterproof insert.
Pro Junior-This collection introduces several new styles and updated colors using the same technical materials as in the adult gloves. Highlighted styles are the SB70J, HF527J and KC5J. SB70J is insulated with Thinsulate C-40 and has a 2-in-1 removable inner fleece glove with a waterproof/windproof insert. HF527J is an all around glove with strong, quick drying Taslan shell fabric with fleece on the back of the hand, lined with Thinsulate and a windproof, waterproof insert, and reinforced by a Diamond grip palm.
Kids Crew Tot – The Kids Crew Tot for toddlers offers ten models. The KC6T is a new quilt mitt that also comes in a glove version, the KC5J in the Pro-Junior collection. Both gloves have a soft micro-peach shell fabric with a waterproof/windproof insert and are insulated with Thermore® insulation.

ComforTemp®-This collection introduces all new gloves insulated with ComforTemp®.
