New from Macna, the Neutron glove is “not your average winter glove”, says the Netherlands based company, “but a heated winter glove with an Outdry membrane”.
Instead of being a “loose” layer, the waterproof Outdry membrane is laminated to the outer layer of the glove, meaning that “the glove can't suck itself full of water. It is a common problem with a lot of so-called waterproof gloves, that the waterproofing is used in such a way that it cannot prevent accumulation.
“Our technique eliminates that problem - there is no space for water to accumulate in. Simple. Problem solved. It also means that, in the wet, the glove can keep more of the warmth generated by the electric heating system in the hands, which in turn allows the electric heating system to work more efficiently”.
The 7.6V battery is tucked into the cuff, and the controller can be set to 3 different settings and can last 4 hours before it needs a recharge.
The glove has hard external knuckle and finger protection, a 30 degree buckle (on the ergonomic cuff strap), ‘Ergothumb’ (the finger and thumb part consist of one piece of leather, so no pressing seams), Side Eye (reflective elements), screencleaner (integrated mini rain wiper for the visor) and ‘Touchtip’, a conductive fingertip for smartphone/navigation control.
