Myr Outdoor – The Search for the Perfect Winter Glove
Creating the perfect winter glove is no easy task. At Myr Outdoor, we have spent several years developing what we believe to be one of the most versatile, durable, and comfortable winter gloves for the Nordic climate. In this article, we explain how we went from understanding our customers' needs to producing a finished glove that keeps you warm, dry, and secure all winter long.
From Customer Needs to Functional Design
We started by listening to you – our customers. Through feedback, surveys, and practical tests, we gained a clear picture of what is demanded in a really good winter glove: warmth, waterproofing, durability, and functionality. This became our foundation.
At the same time, we wanted to avoid making the gloves too specialized. Most gloves are either everyday gloves or purely outdoor gloves. We wanted to create an all-round glove that works in a snowstorm in the mountains, during skiing, hunting – but also on a chilly city walk. Therefore, we combined durable materials with insulation that retains heat without making the glove bulky.
Warmth and Waterproofing in a Nordic Climate
Few things ruin a winter day faster than cold or wet hands. That’s why our highest priority was to develop a glove that is both waterproof and extremely warm. Regular gloves can often resist moisture at first, but after a while, they give in. Our winter gloves are designed to keep water completely out – whether you’re throwing snowballs, shoveling slush, or getting rain on the mountain.
Regarding warmth, we have tested the gloves in Lapland during winter, where temperatures often drop far below -20 degrees Celsius. The insulation provides even protection without compromising finger mobility. The result is a glove that keeps hands warm in all situations, from ice fishing to everyday commuting.
Durability, Style, and Details That Make a Difference
A winter glove should not only perform well – it should also last long and feel natural to wear. That’s why we have chosen high-quality materials such as leather and durable textiles. The design is sleek and timeless, making our winter gloves for men and women just as suitable in the mountains as in the city.
We have also placed great emphasis on the details. The glove is equipped with a wrist strap, so you can hang it around your wrist when using your hands. A carabiner is included, perfect for hanging the gloves to dry or attaching them to your backpack. Additionally, we have reinforced seams and an ergonomic fit – small things that together make a big difference in everyday life.
