For urban photography, every piece of gear must enhance the ability to capture the dynamic essence of city life. At Vallerret Photography Gloves, we dedicate ourselves to improvement, ensuring that our products meet the needs of our community. We're excited to compare our new glove, the Djuke, to our previous version, the Urbex. We'll show the improvements that make the Djuke the best choice for urban and street photographers.

 

A Stylish Evolution: From Brown to Black

The Urbex is a trusted companion for many urban landscape photographers with its classic brown goat leather design. The Djuke takes style to the next level with a sleek black finish.

This modern update not only looks sophisticated but also ensures that you blend in seamlessly with the urban environment. This allows documentary photographers to focus on capturing those candid, unguarded moments without drawing unnecessary attention.

Enhanced Warmth: Thinsulate Insulation

One of the most significant upgrades in the Djuke is the addition of Thinsulate Insulation. We added Thinsulate Insulation on the back of the hand to keep your hands warm in cold city conditions. This advanced insulation technology delivers superior warmth without adding bulk.

It makes the Djuke the perfect glove for those early morning shoots and late-night photo walks through the city streets.

Improved Fit: Adjustable Wrist Strap

The Urbex featured a standard wrist strap, which provided a good fit for most users. However, The Djuke introduces an adjustable wrist strap, allowing you to customize the fit to your liking.

This upgrade ensures maximum comfort and dexterity, whether you prefer a tight, secure fit or something a bit looser. It guarantees that your gloves stays in place, giving you the confidence to focus on your camera settings.

Superior Touchscreen Functionality

The Urbex has good touchscreen compatibility. The Djuke's goes even further. It uses an improved touchscreen-ready material on the index fingers and thumbs. This enhancement ensures even better responsiveness, allowing you to interact with your smartphone or camera screen effortlessly. It's not visible from the top as a specific touchscreen material, instead it looks just like part of the glove. Neat, isn't it?

Whether the finger caps are open or closed, the Djuke provides full freedom to adjust settings, text, or share your latest street shots on social media with ease.

Advanced Design: Updated Pre-Curved Glove Construction

Both gloves have a pre-curved design, but the Djuke was improved based on input from our community of urban and street photographers. The pre-curved construction aligns with the natural shape of your hand, reducing fatigue during long shoots and ensuring that every movement is smooth and precise.

Versatility for All Creatives

The Djuke is not only perfect for photographers but also for all types of creatives. Whether you’re using photo cameras, video cameras, or drones, the Djuke provides the dexterity and control you need. Its versatile design makes it an essential tool for any creative professional working in the urban environment.

In summary, the Djuke represents a significant evolution from the Urbex. We added key enhancements that cater to the needs of modern urban and street photographers:

  • Sleek Black Design: A stylish upgrade from the classic brown of the Urbex.
  • Thinsulate Insulation: Superior warmth without the bulk.
  • Adjustable Wrist Strap: Adjustable fit for maximum comfort and dexterity.
  • Improved Touchscreen Material: Enhanced responsiveness for seamless interaction with devices.
  • Updated Pre-Curved Glove Design: Improved feel for the camera, influenced by community feedback.
  • Versatility for All Creatives: Ideal for photographers, videographers, and drone operators.

The Djuke sets a new standard in functionality, comfort, and style. It's not just an upgrade, it's proof of our dedication to giving street photographers the best tools for their vision.
