After a certain age, we all like our gloves to be stylish and fashionably acceptable according to the standards of the superficial society we live in. Although some might prefer cloth, most like to wear leather or gloves that are made out of imitation of leather. But you will not see an adult wearing those bulky, extra volume gloves that all the kids wear, unless they are in the middle of practicing some winter sport. And if those gloves also have a GPS system integrated, you might want to wear them more often.

If you are a regular glove user, you can add this new model from Zanier in the tech-glove collection, the X-Plore.XGX gloves with GPS. Because Zanier is a professional glove manufacturer and has been making sports gloves for quite some time, they probably found out that such items badly need GPS. They couldn't just stick to their regular winter-proof models, which is why they have developed theirs, and probably the world's first GPS glove set.

Definitely made for wearing on the mountains, not in the streets, the X-Plore.XGX gloves are going to lead you on predefined routes in the harshest weather conditions. They are made with Gore-Tex X-Trafit technology so that they are extremely comfortable, offering optimal grip at the same time. Made for skiing in unknown territory, they will help you orientate to a predefined destination or back to your vehicle.

The GPS system uses an outdoor computer to deliver you information about average speed, max speed, distance, altitude, total distance and more. The display of the GPS is positioned on the thumb of the glove so that you can easily read the data you need. Plan routes with the online software that they come with and control the GPS system while on a slow downhill decent with the controls positioned on the upper hand part. Also, you can document your skiing journeys via the specially designed software. They come with their own USB stick and cable and are powered via an integrated lithium battery. Available online for purchase as well.
