Vallerret endeavour to enable photographers to overcome the difficulties of cold weather shooting – without compromising on comfort or style. Our gloves combine functionality and high performance materials with a smash-looking design . Our core design concept is wrapped around 4 pillars outlined and elaborated below:
Nature’s best weapon against the cold as liner in all our photography glove models.
All gloves are optimized for photography with customized photography specs to fit your need.
You have to be ready to shoot in seconds. We continuously test new ways and designs to improve the functionality.
Quality comes first. We use only durable high performance fabrics to give you the best possible photo session.
A great photography glove must be functional and provide you with easy, effortless access to your camera dials. It was is well-known trade-off for all cold weather photographers that the more layers you wear on your hands, the more “camera feel” and contact with your dials you loose.
It has become our challenge to eliminate this trade-off completely inviting photographers to enjoy both comfortable warm hands and easy access to camera dials. We continuously experiment with new design solutions highly aware of the fact that if it isn’t easy, it doesn’t work.
Currently we are working with a range of flip-tech solutions and variations of thin material still allowing you great camera-feel. But we constantly progress and explore new ways.
From early on we’ve designed our photography gloves for performance using only high quality materials and fabrics. We know from experience that quality in material is closely connected to overall performance and comfort. Whether it’s the inner, the shell, the grip or the zipper, it always pays off on performance and comfort to go premium.
We – and You – love photography and spend hundreds of hours out there with our camera in hand. That’s why strive to make the absolute best photography gloves on the market and we are proud not to compromise on quality in materials in any respect.
Naturally, one of the resting pillars in our design concept is to spec all gloves with photography specific details. So far we’ve been working with flip-tech solutions, SD-card pockets, microfibre lens wipe thumbs, super sticky palm print for great camera feel, easy editable colors, grey card features etc.
We are always looking for new ways to make life easier for our fellow photographers out there. Hit us up if you’ve got a great idea we haven’t thought of!
We use 100 % Merino Wool (absolutely mulesing free of course) as inner in most our photography gloves solely for performance:
a) Even a thin layer of wool will keep your hands warm. This means that we can design fitted gloves ensuring you a great feel with your camera without compromising on warmth. b) Merino wool regulates to your body temperature and transports sweat away from your skin. As a result your hands will stay dry and comfortable even on warmer days out.
What’s the fuss about Merino Wool? In the world of outdoor wear merino wool is one of the material everyone is raving about. The secret to Merino wool’s success lies in its exceptionally fine fibres, which makes it the softest wool available.
For many years we’ve worn traditional wool clothing. Most of us will agree that wool beats synthetics out of the ring when it comes to performance. But where traditional wool has thick heavy fibres (that are very itchy) and synthetics has plastic fibres (that makes it lightweight but clammy, very stinky and highly flammable), merino wool has super thin fibres that makes it warm in cold weather and cooler in warm weather. It’s soft, light, breathable and doesn’t stink when you break a sweat.
Not all Merino sheep are created equal though. In our photography gloves we use carefully selected merino wool, primarily from merino sheep grassing in New Zealand & Australia.

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 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!
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 you the girth size on the glove is too small, you won't be able to fit the 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 chose a liner size that is snug/tight on your hand for the best Fliptech performance when wearing liners and gloves together.
