Black Diamond SPARK POWDER GTX - Gloves - smoke

Gore-Tex® with XCR: Comfort and protection. Waterproof and breathable.

All gloves made using Gore-Tex® technology have long lasting waterproof, windproof and breathable properties. The water stays on the outside, while sweat is easily wicked away. As it retains less moisture, the insulation stays dry and keeps hands warm. The result: durable comfort and protection with balanced heat regulation and optimal moisture wicking even in difficult conditions. Your hands will remain warm when it's cold and dry when you sweat.

The XCR® technology provides gloves with optimal breathability. The gloves adapt to all temperatures no matter what the activity.

PrimaLoft® GOLD: PrimaLoft® Gold is the benchmark for high performance synthetic insulation.

• Warmth: excellent weight-to-heat ratio for retaining heat without excessive volume
• Water-repellent: reduced moisture absorption to retain heat and remain dry
• Breathability: encourages moisture wicking to help protect from the damp and cold
• Compressible: easy, compact storage
• Lightweight: maximum warmth for minimum weight
• Exceptional softness: for great comfort

4 WAY STRETCH: High elasticity clothing (4 times above average) that adapts to the athlete's movements, and quickly regains its shape.

EVA: Compact and dense, EVA foam is a polymer similar to elastomer materials in terms of softness and flexibility. This material is highly resistant and has good clarity and shine, UV resistance and adhesive properties.

Kevlar®: Best known for its use in resistant armour, Kevlar® is an aramid fibre developed by DuPont™. It is a thermoplastic polymer consisting of aromatic rings which are separated by the amide groups. It is also used in various garments, accessories and equipment to enhance safety and abrasion resistance. It is light, durable and resistant.

This is a synthetic fibre which has excellent tensile properties and a high tensile strength. The toughness of Kevlar comes from its structure of hydrogen bonds held together between polymer chains.

Advantages:

• Good traction resistance
• Low density (1.45)
• Zero thermal expansion
• Vibration absorption and cushioning
• Excellent shock and wear resistance
• Good chemical behaviour

Freeride Series: Designed for powerful skiers for all terrains, BD Freeride Series gloves combine the best materials with efficient functionality for downhill and off-piste runs.
