Gordini, a leader in cold weather innovation since 1956, introduces the Forge heated gloves with clim8® technology for Fall/Winter 2023/24. Clim8 heat technology monitors and warms the hands like a thermostat, automatically turning heat on and off according to the user’s needs and body temperature. The brand will also expand its Thindown® collection of gloves, add three styles within its Front Line backcountry collection, and update existing styles with bluesign® APPROVED materials.
FORGE Intelligently Heated Gloves
The Forge heated gloves utilize AI-based, intelligent heating that thermoregulates in real time according to user profile, activity, and temperature. When the Forge gloves are programmed using a paired smartphone app, the heating system automatically reads the user’s body temperature and maintains a steady and comfortable level of warmth. The smart gloves power on and off as needed, preserving battery life, and maximizing comfort.
“Having gear that responds to current conditions and addresses the needs of the unique user is a game changer,” said Brett Wagenheim. “Gordini has continued to innovate to solve for the demands of rugged environments and weather. We build gear to keep you outside longer and adventuring further – incorporating the latest intelligent heating technology with maximum battery efficiency and dexterity was a natural evolution for our glove design.”
Expansion of THINDOWN® Gloves and Mitts
Adding to its THINDOWN® collection, the Windward features THINDOWN® plus Sorona® insulation, with superior flexibility, warmth, and weather protection. The exterior of the Windward is made with a bluesign® APPROVED shell, water-resistant CLUTCH® synthetic leather palm, fingers and trim while the interior features a Gore-Tex insert, THINDOWN® plus Sorona® insulation fabric, moisture wicking lining and gauntlet cuff. The women’s-specific Ridgeline Series, available in glove and mitt styles, delivers a sculpted, high-dexterity, short cuff, and low-profile fit. The water-resistant CLUTCH® synthetic leather shell, palm, fingers, and trim, as well as a waterproof, windproof, breathable Gore-Tex insert keep hands dry and protected. The THINDOWN® plus Sorona® insulation and bluesign® APPROVED wicking fabric lining ensures warm, dry hands while the Neoprene cuff with hook and loop closure keeps gloves secure. A safety leash keeps gloves at hand.
Front Line Series in Collaboration with Athlete Rafael Pease Expands
New styles in the brand’s Front Line Series were developed with input from Gordini Team Athlete and backcountry splitboarder Rafael Pease are constructed with 100 percent bluesign® APPROVED materials. The Front Line series was designed as a mix and match backcountry kit that leverages performance layering based on the users’ needs and climate. With premium fabrics, durable construction and minimal seams, the front line system adapts to the ever-changing conditions and transitions in the backcountry.
The new Front Line Midi Glove and Mitt and Front Line Overmitt offer more layering options for high output activities. The Front Line Midi can be worn as a mid-layer or as a stand-alone breathable, insulated glove. For wet weather conditions, the Front Line Overmitt keeps users dry with waterproof 3-layer taped seam fabric, long gauntlet cuff and drawcord closure. Front Line gloves feature a minimal seam design to reduce areas of wear and tear, PrimaLoft® Gold insulation, moisture-wicking linings, and Schoeller® Keprotec® on the palm and finger wraps utilizing Kevlar® fibers for ultimate durability and grip.
Stomp Collection Revamped
Gordini’s popular Stomp collection is revamped for the 2023 season with bluesign® APPROVED shell fabric, textured palms, and fingers for enhanced grip, breathable, waterproof, and windproof AquaBloc® insert, Megaloft insulation, longer gauntlet cuff, zippered hand warmer pocket, nose wipe and leash.
