Down is one of the best materials for providing comfortable warmth on extremely cold days. It provides the ideal insulation in cold and dry climatic conditions. Down is also perfect for outdoor activities in cold conditions, such as expeditions, where weight plays a crucial role.

Not only does down do wonders when it comes to heat retention, it is also an exceptionally light and compact material.

The advantages of down at a glance:

Warmth: Do you tend to have cold hands or are you out and about in extremely cold weather? Then down gloves are perfect for you. We use high-quality down in our Reusch gloves that feature this wonderful material, which makes for particularly warm gloves.

Lightweight: One of the great advantages of down as a filling material is its small pack size: down is as light as a feather and effective at the same time. It traps air particularly well and forms a warm layer around the hands with minimal weight.

Compressible: Down can be easily compressed. Gloves with down can therefore be easily packed and stowed away. This is a great advantage for backpackers, skiers and snowboarders who need to minimize weight and volume in their backpacks.

Last but not least, down is very comfortable and pleasantly soft.
