02/02/2021By Redaktion

If anyone needs to know how to survive the winter cold, it must be the Russian army: specialists in winter warfare, including Siberian cold. Gloves are extremely important for the man who has everything under control.

This set is part of the Level 8 winter outfit, designed to work at temperatures below minus 25 degrees. Every experienced winter fighter knows there is nothing as good as mittens, they prevent fingers from freezing.

However, the Russian also knows that mittens make it extremely difficult to grip things. Therefore, the gloves are a combination of both models.

The cuff can be fastened tightly around the wrist. The palm flips back and can be clipped.

Outdoors, there is now a fleece glove with a shooting finger. After all, one of the most important functions in winter warfare. The outer fabric repels moisture, protects from snow, wind. The insulation does not absorb moisture and keeps warm.

Mittens are placed in the side pockets of the jacket. It is possible to attach the mittens to the sleeves of the jacket of the insulated suit to prevent their loss.

And they can also be connected and secured against loss.

Interestingly, there also seems to be another version with a black palm. Or one with a gray fabric palm, where the inner mitten has no shooting finger and can be removed. The Russian army is large - it needs multiple manufacturers...

CONCLUSION: Solid glove for the coldest operations. And still in Digital Flora Camo.

The Russian winter gloves can be found in different versions at various retailers. The version without fingers and with leather is available for $16 at GREY SHOP.
