Gordini, a leader in cold weather innovation for 65 years, announces it has partnered with THINDOWN® by NIPI, (Natural Insulation Products Inc.,) to bring its patented down fabric insulation to gloves. A responsible and ethical alternative that outperforms all other insulations including traditional loose down, THINDOWN® will be featured in eight new Gordini styles for Fall 2022. The brand will also expand upon product offerings utilizing its signature CLUTCH™ synthetic leather in the collection.

Gordini established an exclusive partnership with THINDOWN® in the glove category to bring its consumers relevant performance benefits, as well as the warmest gloves on the market. THINDOWN® is a premium goose down fabric that eliminates the need for quilting, thereby reducing seaming and cold spots and allowing for full-coverage insulation.  Breathable, water-repellent and machine washable, THINDOWN®’s proprietary construction enables twice the warmth as loose down without adding bulk.  The down fabric is made in Italy and exclusively with traced down that is RDS (Responsible Down Standard) certified.

“Establishing a partnership with THINDOWN® was important not only because of its superior product performance, but also as a company committed to responsible innovation and development,” said David Gellis, Gordini president.  “Whereas we are always striving to offer our customers the best in glove technology, the fact that THINDOWN® was born out of the ethical dilemma of down production and working conditions is incredibly meaningful to us.  With our new Fall ’22 product developments, we feel that Gordini is defining the new warm standard in cold weather gear.”
