The Search for the Perfect Glove – from Idea to Reality at Myr Outdoor

Hello! David here, founder of Myr Outdoor. We make gloves for those who really use them – in wetness, cold, and tough weather.

For over a decade, we at Myr Outdoor have dedicated ourselves to gloves – not as a fashion accessory, but as a functional tool for everyone who spends time outdoors. From hunting and outdoor life to everyday life in a Nordic climate – our gloves are made to last in reality, not just on paper.

It started with a simple insight

My friend Per and I grew up in northern Norrland, where outdoor life is part of everyday life. After years of soaked, frozen hands, we realized that there were no gloves that really worked in the climate we live in. It was this frustration that became the starting point for Myr Outdoor. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

We began studying what actually makes a difference in a glove: choice of materials, insulation, construction, and details. We took apart old gloves, built prototypes, and tested over and over – in snowstorms, subzero temperatures, and wet snow. After hundreds of iterations, we ended up with gloves we could trust ourselves. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

Why there is no universal glove

A glove can never be the best at everything. A person standing still in subzero temperatures needs maximum insulation, while someone working on a snowmobile or taking photos wants fingertip sensitivity and mobility. That is why we always talk about choosing the right glove for the right activity.

Therefore, we often divide our gloves into three main categories:

  • Warmer winter gloves – for sedentary activity in the cold.
  • Flexible and technical gloves – when feeling and movement are most important.
  • Waterproof gloves – for wet snow, slush, hunting, and tough weather.

Combining all features in one glove often means compromises. Better to have a pair that does the job really well for your specific use.

Tested in reality – developed with the experts

The best way to build really good gloves is to listen to those who use them the most. We collaborate with everyone from reindeer herders to mountain guides and expedition leaders who expose their gloves to extreme conditions. When they say something works – then we know it’s true. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

We test gloves in everything from polar cold to wet snow and rain. Every scratched seam and every comment helps us make the next model even better.

What makes a glove perfect for you

The perfect glove is personal. It’s about what you do – and how you do it. Here are some examples of what is most often needed:

  • Hunters need precision and quiet material.
  • Skiers prioritize windproofing and insulation.
  • Reindeer herders need waterproof gloves that handle wet snow.
  • Photographers need warmth without giving up fingertip sensitivity.
  • Outdoor enthusiasts want a balance between warmth, flexibility, and durability.

Regardless of activity, the goal is the same: gloves that let you be outside longer, more often, and with warmer hands. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
