Any seasoned long-distance adventurer knows that hands take the brunt of whatever the weather throws at them. With the Lacus GTX you don't have to worry about the weather, not even sudden downpours or heavy storms. The GORE-TEX membrane keeps your hands and wrists dry because it waterproofs both the natural and synthetic materials used in the construction of this glove. Materials that make the difference The main component is soft, drum-dyed goatskin on the palm and back of the hand. Combining strength and flexibility with all-weather capability, the leather's water-repellent coating makes the Lacus GTX a great waterproof glove for all occasions. In addition, the fine Pittards® sheepskin leather at the contact points of the palm and thumb guarantees firm grip when it matters most. Handy on Adventures When you're on an adventure, your hands are the tools you use the most. The Lacus GTX provides protection for those elemental extremities in the form of a mix of hard shell and memory foam that encases the hands and wrists. Should you hit the pavement, a TPU hard-shell palm slider significantly reduces the risk of injury, while Temperfoam® along the fingers, thumbs and palms protects your hands without restricting your freedom of movement. There is also a thumb guard and therefore a thumbs up for adventurers.
