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 in 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, some pilots are in so much pain that they have to cut short their flight. Winter and autumn are not the only seasons affected by this phenomenon. 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 ascent. 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. Using gloves is the best way 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 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 wrist to toe, paragliding gloves offer both waterproof protection and insulation. The palm of the glove has a surface that provides the grip needed 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 sleeves: Winter gloves are used when mid-season gloves are no longer effective enough to reduce the cold in the hands. Because of their thickness, they are generally used from December to late April and early May. They should keep the palm and back of the hand warm and provide good ventilation to prevent perspiration. Gore-Tex fabrics and leathers are available for protection against wind and cold. There are even heated gloves ! What's more, some riders prefer sleeves at this time of year. Not only do they provide protection from the cold, but they also allow the controls used in the blanket itself to fit better.
