REVIT Kryptonite 3 GTX Gloves

Description

If you’ve been shopping for shoulder-season gloves, the Kryptonite 3 GTX gloves pack quite the punch.

They’ve got knuckle armor, palm sliders, insulation and a Gore-Tex membrane—all packed into a short-cuff glove that’ll play nice with almost any jacket. 

Instead of the“Hydratex” waterproof/breathable membrane found in other Revit gloves (affectionate referred to around here as generic Gore-Tex), the Krypto’s get actual bona-fide “Guaranteed-to-keep-you-dry” Gore-Tex waterproof laminate, which we believe is not only the best waterproofing protection, but also will breath better than others, making it worth the added coin.

Plus, there’s some added insurance of the Gore-Tex quality seal on the gloves. If they give up the ghost in rain, Gore-Tex stands behind the product—if it even gets to that. Revit has been great about owning any performance failures.

Another nice upgrade: instead of the “fiberfill” insulation of its leather-clad Boxxer cousin, the Kryptonite gets a genuine 3M Thinsulate insulation; plus a high-loft fur liner that makes them cozy from the get-go.

Protection is well accounted for in the Kryptonites, which have a sturdy knuckle armor piece, TPS reinforcements at the knuckles, and a palm that’s made of reinforced goatskin which provides excellent dexterity AND abrasion resistance—and is backed by a palm slider.
