The Goddess of Winter in the Shape of a Photography Glove

January 15, 2020

How do you create a perfect photography glove? Combine the Norse Goddess of Winter, a loveable German filmmaker, and a whole lot of thought and planning. We're so excited to bring the updated Skadi PSP Mitt into our lineup this year but this one is more than just a glove for us. It's an embodiment of everything we're about: making gloves that keep our fellow winter lovers out in the elements even longer.

You need warmth? We’ve got it! The story behind the Ipsoot

December 09, 2019

The people want warmth? We'll give them warmth. Our Ipsoot is back this year as our heavy duty winter glove, built to withstand the elements on the coldest winter days. This glove was inspired by our Canadian team shooter, Todd Easterbrook who spends his winters as a professional snowboard photographer.

Please note, our gloves are designed to fit snuggly to give you the best camera feel without compromising on warmth. If you prefer a looser fit, please consider to go a size up.

As we learn more and more about gloves we also learn that all hands are different. Some people have long skinny fingers and slim wrists, others have wide hands with short fingers.

Our gloves wont fit all even with the right measurements from the sizing chart – but we try!

What size should I get if I'm between sizes?

For many, the best option will be to go up a size if your measurements are in between sizes.

If you are between sizes or if your hands do not fit into the measurements on our sizing chart, we recommend prioritizing the fit for the girth measurement. The girth is the most important measurement and if the girth size on the glove is too small, you won't be able to fit the glove.

Should I size up for my liner glove?

If you’re considering pairing a liner glove with your photography gloves, we recommend choosing the same size liner as photography glove. We designed our liners to be thin and fit inside of our photography gloves so we recommend your normal size in liners. There are two exceptions to this:

Exception #1: If you are at the very end of the ratio size in the sizing chart, e.g. 1 mm from being a size Large, then we advise going up a glove size if you plan to often wear the liner with the gloves.

Exception #2: If your personal preference is to wear fairly loose gloves, then you should also go up a size when adding a liner. We don't recommend this as you will compromise dexterity with loose gloves and our priority is best possible camera feel. But you know best what you like!

House tip: Make sure to choose a liner size that is snug/tight on your hand for the best Fliptech performance when wearing liners and gloves together.
