Must-Know Technology

HiPora

HiPora

High waterproofing for all-winter protection in some of the wettest conditions.

TechLeather

TechLeather

Leather fits and flexes better than anything else for snowboard gloves. Fact. It just feels great on the hand for locked-in grabs and slapping high fives with your crew. To make leather better than nature made it, we impregnate the structure of the leather with waterproofing treatment to create TechLeather. Teamed up with our Hipora inserts, there’s no better solution for flexible, feel-good waterproof protection.

TouchTec

TouchTec

Riders want to stay in contact constantly these days, whether touching base with friends or checking the latest weather report. With TouchTec, fingertip nipples let you type and surf your favorite touch-screen device, available even in our warmest Index model for quick communication on the coldest days without taking your gloves off.

Flexible Insulation

Flexible Insulation

Rome exclusive insulating strategy that maximizes flex-friendly fit while keeping your hands warm. The strategy relates to the basics of your hand anatomy—your palms have ample natural insulation compared to the bones and skin of the back of your hand. Using Primaloft, Thinsulate, fiberfill and micro fleeces, we place more insulation on the back of the hand and less on the palms. Then we rate them like wet-suits to designate the insulating weights with the back-of-hand number first and the palm side second.
