The KinetiXx Tarun ski mountaineering gloves combine maximum functionality with innovative sustainability and are the perfect companion for ambitious mountaineers. Thanks to their warm FLOCUS® kapok lining and heat-reflective HEIQ layer, they ensure optimal warmth and thermoregulation even in harsh weather conditions. Kapok, a sustainable warm insulation made from natural fibers, impresses with its lightness, water repellency, and ecological harvesting from regenerative agriculture and forestry. It also has a higher volume than cotton and impresses with its excellent insulating properties, regulates temperature and moisture, and is antimicrobial and antibacterial. The plant fiber is therefore also suitable for allergy sufferers.
The back of the glove is made of GORE® WINDSTOPPER® softshell to protect against wind and cold, while the soft merino lining ensures a comfortable fit. The palm is reinforced with robust goatskin for maximum durability and grip. Emphasis is also placed on breathability to ensure a dry climate inside the glove during strenuous ascents.
Thanks to the Velcro fastening and pull-on aid with integrated hanging loop, the glove fits like a glove and is easy to handle. Reflective elements increase your safety at dusk and in the dark, while the touchscreen function allows you to operate your smartphone or GPS device without having to take off your gloves.
The Tarun ski touring gloves are part of KinetiXx's Change2Green series and are made from 50% recycled materials and natural fibers. This initiative combines all of KinetiXx's measures for more environmentally friendly production and underlines its commitment to more sustainable winter sports equipment.>

GORE WINDSTOPPER®
We use GORE WINDSTOPPER® fabrics as a windproof layer for our gloves.
For all new models from the 24/25 collection, we mainly use a new ePE membrane laminated into the fabric. This has the same properties as the original membrane, but is made from a more environmentally friendly material that no longer contains PFAS (perfluorinated and polyfluorinated alkyl compounds). GORE WINDSTOPPER® fabric is durable, windproof, water-repellent, and breathable.>
Cahnge2GREEN 40% recycled
In a world where every person's consumption leaves a mark, it is up to manufacturers to take responsibility for people and the environment. Environmental protection is already in the DNA of a glove manufacturer whose products are designed for outdoor activities. Whether it's winter sports, cycling, or other outdoor activities, exercise is no longer possible without an intact environment.
Our Change2Green initiative brings together all measures and products that contribute to sustainable environmental improvement. Products with this label contain at least 40% recycled material, and we use natural raw materials wherever possible. For us, sustainability also means
ensuring high product quality so that products can be used for a long time. We want to continue improving many of our products in the future. Our goal is to label at least 50% of our products with the Change2Green label by 2030 and to further expand our company's activities in the area of resource conservation and environmental protection.
FLOCUS®– Made in Kapok
In our new Ski Touring collection, we use natural Kapok fiber from Flocus as a sustainable insulation layer in the Tarun model. Kapok is a sustainable plant fiber obtained from the fruit of the kapok tree. It is grown in regenerative agroforestry and does not require irrigation or the use of pesticides. Kapok fibers are extremely lightweight, thermoregulatory, and water-repellent. Kapok trees also store approximately 393.68 kg of carbon annually, making them an ecologically valuable raw material.
