Karpos RACE GLOVE Gloves

Karpos RACE GLOVE: Technical warmth and precise support for mountain activities

The Karpos RACE GLOVE is designed for ski mountaineering competitions and high-intensity activities in extremely cold weather. Its technical construction combines a breathable K-Shell Soft Shell back, a palm engineered for grip, and targeted Ultrasuede® reinforcements . The result is a lightweight glove—weighing just 68 g—designed to offer a good balance between protection, comfort, and precision. The Karpos RACE GLOVE is ideal for athletes seeking high-performance gear for demanding mountain excursions.

Breathability and Protection for Sustained Effort

The breathable K-Shell Soft Shell back helps wick away moisture generated during activity, helping to keep your hands more comfortable during intense exertion. This construction meets the need for ventilation in activities where intensity varies and where managing internal climate remains important. The manufacturer’s specifications describe these gloves as technical thermal gloves, suitable for very cold conditions while still being designed for active use.

The K-Shell Soft Shell palm with silicone print provides better grip, which is useful for maintaining a secure hold on your equipment during activity.

Precise Fit and Freedom of Movement

The Karpos RACE GLOVE features a stretch seam that ensures a snug fit around the wrist. This construction minimizes loose areas and better accommodates movement, which is essential for ski mountaineering, trail running, and trekking. The elastic cuff at the wrist also contributes to a more secure fit, without adding unnecessary complexity.

Ultrasuede® reinforcements between the index finger and thumb, as well as on the thumb, protect areas subject to repeated friction. This targeted placement helps preserve the durability of the areas most stressed during frequent use.

Technical Features and Versatile Use

The design combines multiple materials in different areas to meet the specific demands of each part of the hand. This construction provides a balance of flexibility, support, and durability where it’s needed most.
