Icecrusher GTX Warm Gloves 26/27

The Icecrusher GTX Warm Glove is Auclair's premium alpine ski glove, built around a GORE-TEX ePE High Performance X membrane for full waterproofing and breathability. The shell pairs PFAS-free, DWR-treated goat leather with 4-way stretch polyester, and recycled 3M Thinsulate insulation keeps it warm.

Outseam construction puts the seams on the outside, which gives a cleaner, more comfortable feel inside the fingers. The trade-off for the leather and membrane is a glove that is warm and burly rather than thin and dexterous. If you want a lightweight touring glove, this is not it. If you want a glove for a full resort day in real winter, it is exactly right.

Details include a brushed fleece lining, a neoprene cuff with hook-and-loop closure, a silicone grip patch, a nose wipe, a carabiner loop and clip, and a removable leash. Auclair rates it at warmth level 4.

Choose your usual glove size. Leather gloves break in and soften with use, so a snug fit on day one is the right fit.

This is our pick for skiers who want one serious, waterproof glove that handles everything from icy groomers to storm days on the Mountain Road.
