Gordini Men's Clothing

Frequently Asked Questions

• How do Gordini GTX Storm Mittens compare to the Front Line Midi or Fall Line Glove for deep powder and backcountry use?

  The GTX Storm Mittens use GORE‑TEX® and a mitten construction for maximum waterproofing and pooled warmth, making them a strong choice for deep powder and wet backcountry days. Front Line Midi and Fall Line Glove prioritize dexterity and pole control—Front Line Midi has a shorter profile for better handling while Fall Line balances warmth with grip via CLUTCH™ or goatskin palms.
• What insulation options do Gordini gloves come with and which should I pick for very cold vs. milder spring days?

  Gordini offers Megaloft® synthetic, Primaloft® (100 GSM) and 700‑fill DownTek™ combinations; DownTek™ gives a higher warmth‑to‑weight for very cold, dry days while Megaloft® and Primaloft® retain loft and insulating performance better in damp or variable conditions. Choose down for long, cold days where weight matters and synthetic if you expect wet spring conditions or need consistent performance with heavy use.
• How should I size Gordini gloves and mittens to accommodate liners and pole use?

  Measure hand circumference and finger length and compare to Gordini’s sizing chart, allowing extra room for a liner or thicker fingers; many gauntlet styles include drawcords or hook‑and‑loop cuffs to seal over jacket sleeves. If you need fine dexterity for straps, zippers, or pole work, opt for a glove like the Fall Line or Front Line Midi rather than a full mitten.
• What’s the best way to clean and care for Gordini gloves to preserve waterproofing and insulation?

  Spot clean shells and palms and air dry—avoid machine washing and tumble drying—to protect membranes and insulation, and remove liners before cleaning when possible per the care label. Re‑apply DWR as needed and avoid high heat, which can damage Megaloft®, Primaloft®, or DownTek® fill and reduce waterproof performance.
