With Markhof Pro V4, we’ve focused on improving waterproofing and weather performance without taking away from what has made the Markhof Pro glove series our bestseller & customer favourite.
The big changes? A new waterproof, breathable insert membrane, an upgraded outer-shell fabric with a 20K waterproof rating, and a soft antimicrobial fleece lining. The glove also gets an updated look and other smaller revamps, while staying true to the Markhof Pro signature style.

Here are the update headlines:
1. Better protection when winter turns wet
The biggest upgrade in Markhof Pro V4 is its weather-protection system. It combines two key elements: a waterproof, breathable insert membrane and an outer-shell fabric with a 20K waterproof rating.
The 20K rating describes the outer-shell fabric’s resistance to water pressure in a standard waterproofness test. It is a fabric rating, not a guarantee that the entire glove will stay dry indefinitely in every condition. The insert membrane provides an additional layer of waterproof protection within the glove.
2. A new lining: warm, antimicrobial & vegan-friendly
The V3 features a 100% Merino wool lining. For V4, we’ve switched to an antimicrobial fleece lining designed to deliver instant plush warmth.
The change also responds to requests for a non-animal lining material. It’s a fresh take on the inside of a familiar favourite, while keeping the Markhof Pro focused on everyday winter use.
