Athlete-Driven Design

Waterproof, windproof, breathable.

Named for OR's team of athletes who were instrumental in the products' design - Mark Abma, Micah Evangelista, and Sophia Rouches - the Team Glove collection includes three styles: traditional glove, 3-finger, and mitt. Each style boasts premium materials like 2-layer stretch-woven nylon, goat leather palm, bluesignยฎ-approved, PFAS-free Gore-Tex ePE waterproof insert, and VerticalXโ„ข ECO insulation.

Team GORE-TEX Gloves

The Team GORE-TEX Gloves feature GORE-TEX ePE and VerticalXโ„ข ECO technology, bluesignยฎ approved materials, touchscreen compatibility, and a feature-loaded design, designed in collaboration with and to meet the needs of the Outdoor Research Snow Athlete Team.

Team GORE-TEX Mitts

New this season is the Team GORE-TEX Mitts which are the result of a direct collaboration among the Outdoor Research snow athlete team. This fully loaded mitt features reliable GORE-TEX ePE and VerticalXโ„ข ECO technology, bluesign approved materials and touchscreen compatibility.

Team GORE-TEX 3-Finger Gloves

Made with the same durable Gore-Tex ePE and VerticalXโ„ข ECO technology, the new 3-finger glove is the perfect hybrid between the Team glove and Team mitt. According to our Senior Product Manager of Outerwear, Charlie Berg, "the 3-finger is a ridiculously good ski glove."

Design & Materials

Barret Willet, Outdoor Research Design Manager for Accessories & Gear, weighs in.

The design team behind the Team Glove collection isn't shy: these are the best Snow gloves available from Outdoor Research. Willet said the three models perfectly blend supple goat leather with the durable, 2-layer stretch woven nylon. "It's a beautiful fabrication we use throughout a lot of our premium gloves. It's highly weather resistant, it's breathable, it's got a good feel to it."

Additional Insights

  • Durable, reinforced outseams

    Design Manager Willet said the team looked at OR snow athlete Rouchesโ€™ current pair of snow gloves, the Point N Chute, to evaluate wear and tear points to make sure the Team Glove addressed durability.

  • Wide, bonded under-cuff

    โ€œWe sent [the cuff] on a trip to K2 with professional alpinist Graham Zimmerman and just loved it. So, we started seeding it with our athlete team. Itโ€™s big, but really low bulk and not very puffy, so your jacket just slips right over it,โ€ said Willet.

  • Embossed leather OR logo

    "We started to rethink how we treat our logo. This beautiful, embossed leather logo has started to become a fan favorite around here and it's helped us put these gloves on kind of a pedestal," said Willet.
