Warm, weatherproof X-Cell Glove built for deep-winter laps and backcountry tours
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I turn to these when I want serious warmth without losing too much dexterity. The leather breaks in nicely, the insulation is well mapped, and the waterproof insert actually holds up on storm days. They’re not ultra-minimal, but for cold lift rides and powder touring, they’ve kept my hands comfortable and dry."
We reach for the X-Cell Glove from Swany on cold mornings when the lifts start spinning and the snow keeps piling up. The blend of leather construction and a waterproof Dryfinger II insert keeps our hands protected as we dig into powder stashes, adjust bindings, or push through fresh snow in the trees. With Tri-Plex Alpha insulation stacked across the back of the hand and mapped more lightly through the palm, the glove balances warmth with the dexterity we need for quick gear adjustments.
On longer days, the Volcotek Heat Shield helps manage internal heat by allowing vapor to move out while sealing in warmth. The back-of-hand pocket gives us the option to slip in a hand warmer when temperatures drop sharply, and the SpeedDraw cuff closure keeps snow out as we charge through soft turns. Durable materials and a flexible feel make this glove a dependable partner for resort laps and backcountry missions alike.
