New Vaughn Outdoor CZiP Gloves and Mittens Unzip Across Knuckles
Filed under category: Wearables
Skiers, snowboarders and winter athletes are all too familiar with the inconvenience of taking gloves off at inopportune times. Whether it's on a lift, in the middle of a ski slope or backcountry, having to take off gloves is not always easy or safe to do. Vaughn Outdoor, a new Utah-based company, provides an end to this dilemma with the new CZiP gloves and mittens. The innovative CZiP design features a zipper at the top of the hand portion (just below the knuckles) of a glove or mitten and allows the wearer to remove the material covering the hand and fingers without completely removing the glove or mitten. With hands free, the wearer can perform any function, while still having the convenience of the open portion secured around the wrist.
CZiP gloves are available in sizes small through extra-large. Colors offered are steel gray, quarry (light gray), thunder (dark blue) and black. The CZiP sports a YKK, fleece-lined zipper for warmth and is insulated with warm, non-bulky Primaloft. Over and under designs are available in both gloves and mittens. The design also features an easy-zipper pull tab and full leather palm and finger tips. Toasty.

After having the privledge of using this product for almost the whole season I can say that the convertable feature applied to these gloves is the best thing since snowboard boots and actually better.
