The Kryptonite 3 GTX gloves pack loads of high-performance, name-brand technologies into a compact short-cuff chassis that punches well above its weight class.

If youve been shopping for shoulder-season gloves, the Kryptonite 3 GTX gloves pack quite the punch.

They've got knuckle armor, palm sliders, insulation and a Gore-Tex membraneall packed into a short-cuff glove that'll play nice with almost any jacket.

Instead of theHydratex waterproof/breathable membrane found in other Revit gloves (affectionate referred to around here as generic Gore-Tex), the Krypto's get actual bona-fide Guaranteed-to-keep-you-dry Gore-Tex waterproof laminate, which we believe is not only the best waterproofing protection, but also will breath better than others, making it worth the added coin.

Plus, theres some added insurance of the Gore-Tex quality seal on the gloves. If they give up the ghost in rain, Gore-Tex stands behind the productif it even gets to that. Revit has been great about owning any performance failures.

Another nice upgrade: instead of the fiberfill insulation of its leather-clad Boxxer cousin, the Kryptonite gets a genuine 3M Thinsulate insulation; plus a high-loft fur liner that makes them cozy from the get-go.

Protection is well accounted for in the Kryptonites, which have a sturdy knuckle armor piece, TPS reinforcements at the knuckles, and a palm thats made of reinforced goatskin which provides excellent dexterity AND abrasion resistanceand is backed by a palm slider.
