Gabriele Lorenzini, www.fotocorsi.it – Photographer: "Every year we organize various photo tours in the coldest areas of the Earth. The SMART 3 gloves are an essential part of our clothing because they allow us to shoot outdoor for several hours without having cold hands. The built in mitten allows us to keep our hands warm when waiting for the next shot."
Material
Elastic Microfibre - Elastic microfibre with water resistant and breathable membrane ensures the highest level of dryness.
Goat Leather (Palm Side) - With development of HEAT 3 gloves we opted for high-quality goatskin, since it is one of the most robust types of leather, yet is very soft and thus enables high wearing comfort. Our Gloves are certified and checked for contaminants and toxins and comply with the REACH agreement, which is the European Union Chemicals Regulation.
Primaloft Gold Insulation - We use only Primaloft Gold insulation, which currently is the “BEST-OF-THE-BEST”: Warm as down, warm without bulk, highly breathable, light weight, superior softness, moisture management, highly water resistant, fast drying, 95% heat retention even in wet condition.

Technical Specification.
PROPRIETARY FABRIC DEVELOPMENT
840D HT Nylon for industry leading toughness. High Tenacity (HT) Nylon yarn for exceptional durability, abrasion and chemical resistance. 1000D Cordura® Nylon on the MultiCam® model.
Coated both sides with a thick layer of ether based TPU for prolonged contact with moisture and mildew resistance. These thick layers give the fabric a hydrostatic head of 100,000 mm, high abrasion resistance, high puncture resistance and an incredibly strong bond when RF welded.
To help reduced detection by IR thermal imaging, we modify the texture of the outer coating.
RF WELDED CONSTRUCTION
Seams are joined by means of RF welding (Radio Frequency). This creates a waterproof and extremely durable connection as strong as the fabric.
YKK AQUASEAL® #10
Waterproof, airtight and pressure-resistant. Providing complete protection from the elements in or out of the water. Highly resistant to damage caused by dirt or sand.
WING DESIGN
Unique end wing design, gives easy access to the main compartment with an extended length zipper.
STABLE LOADING
The tapered sidewalls of the bag make it stable when stacked on the floor of a boat or roof rack on an expedition vehicle.
INNER ZIPPED POCKET
Internal zipped pocket is big enough for documents or valuables: L36 x H25 cm.
TOUGH CARRY HANDLES
Curved half-moon bartack design on all carry handles, which spreads the load no matter which way the handle is pulled. This is vital when carrying loads exceeding 40kg.
TIE DOWN POINTS
Daisy chain lash points on both sides of the bag.
AIR RELEASE VALVE
Top mounted air valve allows for inflation or deflation of the bag. PRO colours come with a Halkey Roberts oral inflation system. This comes with a high flow, push-to-open valve.
BACKPACK COMFORT
The carrying straps are made of dual density EVA foam, a material designed for large expedition backpacks which gives you great weight balance, durability and comfort.
ONE-HANDED CHEST STRAP
Chest strap designed to be used with one hand. It has a flat design which makes it extremely hard to break.
Dimensions: L92 x W44 x H37 cm
Weight: 2300g
Precise volume: 140L

SELECTING LENGTH
Ski length ?
Length is determined based on body length and weight. The table here is intended as an aid and must not be followed slavish. Skills, terrain, weight, backpack and individual needs / habits are factors that influence the choice of length.
General advice: Skiing rough terrain requires shorter skis than open mountain areas. For beginners, it will often be easier with short skis. If the person is lighter than average, the user should consider shorter skis, and vice versa. If you often got heavy load (sledge), the ski should be a bit longer.
