Gloves and sleeves

Our paragliding shop offers a wide range of gloves and sleeves for paragliding. We have men's, women's and unisex gloves to suit all tastes and sizes.

One of the biggest problems with paragliding is cold hands. It can cause severe pain in the fingers, making it difficult to operate the controls and accessories in flight. All too often, this causes some pilots so much pain that they have to cut short the flight. Winter and autumn are not the only seasons affected by this phenomenon. The use of paragliding gloves may also be necessary in summer and spring. It is generally estimated that there is a drop of 1°C for every 100 metres of elevation gain. Even if the temperature seems mild when you land or take off, it can be much colder in the air and at higher altitudes, forcing you to land.

The use of gloves is the best solution to combat these phenomena. There are two main categories of gloves and sleeves.

Mid-season paragliding gloves :

This type of glove is mainly used in the autumn and spring, before or just after the onset of winter temperatures. Our paragliding shop offers a wide range of transitional gloves to protect and comfort your hands. From the wrists to the tips, paragliding gloves offer both waterproof protection and insulation. The palm of the glove has a surface that provides the grip necessary for a firm hold on the flight controls. In addition, paragliding may require interaction with touch screen flight instruments. The fingers may therefore contain a tactile coating.

Winter gloves and paragliding muffs :

Winter gloves are used when mid-season gloves are no longer effective enough to reduce hand cold. Because of its thickness, it is usually used from December to late April and early May. It should keep the palm and back of the hand warm and provide good ventilation to prevent sweating. Gore-Tex fabrics and leathers are available for protection against wind and cold.
There are even heated gloves !
In addition, some pilots prefer sleeves at this time of year. These not only protect from the cold, but also allow the controls used in the blanket itself to fit better.
