Winter is looming and you know what that means. Time to introduce some new photography gloves in the lineup :)
Introducing the Guardian! Throughout the years, our gloves have helped photographers stay warm whilst photographing disappearing ice caps in the Arctic, capturing wild animals in their natural snowy habitat, and accompanied photographers as they visit some of the most impressive and remote winter locations on the planet. We’ve helped landscape photographers, wildlife photographers and urban photographers create their art in comfort and this year, we are introducing The Guardian, a limited edition glove designed for photographers and photojournalists who are tasked with covering conflict areas.
The Guardian was born out of a quest to find a solution for photojournalists working in high risk, cold locations. Many photojournalists work with the military and are required to wear protective gear whilst on duty. Being out in the field as a photojournalist requires gear that is not only warm and protective but also extremely durable. Photojournalists are at constant risk of harm and need gear that will keep them safe in order to tell their important stories through images.
The Guardian has all the bells and whistles that have become signature for our brand. FlipTech on the pointer finger and thumb allow instant access to your camera dials and settings and the sticky grippy palm print gives you a good hold on your equipment without fear of losing your grip, even when tensions are high. The Guardian is insulated with Thinsulate Insulation with a 100% merino wool liner to keep you warm and the back of the hand and fingers feature Kevlar material for maximum protection.
Glove features:
Kevlar is an extremely unique material made from synthetic fibre that is strong enough to stop bullets and knives. It’s five times stronger than steel whilst still being a relatively light material. Kevlar is made from plastic but unlike most plastics, Kevlar doesn’t melt. It stands up to relatively high temperatures and only starts to decompose around 450 degrees Celsius (850 degrees Fahrenheit). Kevlarcan resist attacks from many different chemicals and is virtually unchanged when exposed to long periods of moisture or extremely hot water.

Whether we observe mountains, hills, rivers, lakes, ponds or the sea, we get that refreshing change of perspective and joy of witnessing beautiful landscapes.
Landscape photographers like to have fun with light and exposure. There are so many things you can play with, like contrast, shadows, highlights, sunrises, sunsets, golden hours...
It's always good time for going into landscape photography.

To really let our gloves shine, keeping your hands warm and accessing your dials all winter long, it’s important to start with keeping your core warm.
Why?
When it’s cold, our bodies are experts at keeping us alive. The body takes the blood away from the hands and feet and directs it to the core. We are unconsciously willing to sacrifice our digits in order to keep our organs functioning.
So, how do you keep your core warm? It’s not as easy as just putting on a big jacket, or adding an extra hoodie.
It comes down to layering, and layering with the correct materials.
