Gear of the Week | ZANIER Gloves Evolution.XZX

Robust, water-repellent 3-finger glove made from goatskin and polyester mix

by Benjamin Eggert 12/30/2017
The Evolution.XZX is not a classic 3-finger glove in which the middle, ring and little fingers form a single unit. In this model, these three fingers are individually insulated by the inner material, as in a conventional 5-finger glove.

The upper material combines the 3 fingers to create a 3-finger glove. This construction of the glove leads to increased thermal insulation. The inner material of the glove is firmly bonded to the outer material, which is noticeable in terms of comfort, as the inner glove does not slip inside the outer glove.

The glove makes a very high-quality impression. Soft goatskin on the palm is complemented by stretch material on the backhand. Here, the Evolution.XZX sets color accents, such as on the test model in red-black-grey camouflage. There is a rubber-like stretch material on the top of the thumb, which can be helpful for frequent face shots to wipe off your glasses and keep your vision clear.

Thanks to the rubber patch on the palm, the glove sticks to everything you grab. This was very helpful outdoors when carrying skis, for example. The annoying loss of skis during the run to the next gondola is now a thing of the past. I could also confidently leave the ski pole straps at home thanks to the rubber patch, as losing a ski pole is unlikely.

The cuff of the glove ends just behind the wrist, emphasizing its lightness.

The ProLock fastener - a combination of Velcro fastener and pull cord, which also guarantees a secure hold on the wrist - helps to prevent snow from getting in.

PrimaLoft is used for the insulation material. This keeps hands warm on most days in winter. However, this is not a down or expedition glove. At temperatures around -20 °C, your fingers will start to cool down.

Overall, the glove makes a great impression and scores points for its well thought-out details.
