Best Gloves for Drone Operators: The Skadi LRS Mitt

As temperatures plummet, our extremities experience reduced blood flow, impacting our dexterity. The act of flying a drone demands unwavering precision and control, making the Skadi LRS the ultimate glove choice. It stands out as our most adaptable and multifaceted glove offering. Beginning with a liner, followed by a mitt, we enhance the photographer's control with finger zippers and ingenious FlipTech on the thumb for maximum control.

The Liner:

The Skadi LRS comes with an included liner made from PowerStretch Pro from Polartec, a revolutionary fabric that features reinforced elastic fibres creating 4-way stretch that meets the demanding push and pull of activity. This agile, dual-surface fabric absorbs moisture from the skin while continuously wicking it to the outer layer for fast evaporation. The liner has a windproof panel on the back of the fingers to protect against the elements and is touch-screen compatible meaning you can operate your devices without ever having to expose your skin.

The Mitt:

The mitt slides snugly over the PSP liner and includes our unique FlipTech on the thumb. Plus, there's a finger zip that lets you uncover just one or all four fingers—giving you the level of control you need. And here's the kicker: a handy button on the hand's side keeps the unzipped mitt securely tucked away, making equipment operation a breeze.

Crafted from sleek PU faux leather boasting a laminated DWR outer shell, it is engineered to keep you effortlessly dry. Even if some moisture sneaks in, the 100% Merino wool insulation ensures you stay warm. The palm offers an excellent grip on your controller, while the storm leash prevents you from losing the mitts in the powder when you need to drop them.

The Combo:

Numerous photographers contend that the best glove for flying drones is none at all. However, as this isn't feasible, especially for seasoned winter photographers, the Skadi LRS emerges as the next optimal choice. Operating a drone demands precise control and nimbleness, and with its customizable features, touchscreen compatibility, and comfortable warmth, the Skadi LRS stands out as an excellent option for all winter aerial photographers.
