A combination of three different materials are used in the palm of this high-tech ski glove. Swiss Aramid Fiber in the center area for the best grip and wear, Amara in the lower palm and mid fingers for a more sensitive feel, and rubberized fingertip "nubs" for that last bit of grip right at the fingertips. The strap on the back of the hand helps to pull the palm tight and eliminate "bunching". The wide wrist strap helps fight fatigue and insures a great fit. You'll love the new Icon.
