GENERAL FIT GUIDE

POW Gloves are patterned to fit the hand for the end use it was designed for. We designed some styles to fit larger to add more loft and room for air to move around creating more warmth(Lofted Fit), some styles that have a balance of loft and tactility (Common Fit), and styles that were built to fit tighter for more tactile feel (Profile Fit).
Most POW styles were built with Pre-Curve pattern construction giving you the most natural hand form and comfort throughout the day. MEN’S

FIT GUIDE STRUCTURE

LOFTED FIT
Styles that give you extra room between the lining and your hand creating better warm air circulation. These styles are insulated with higher gram insulation weights and have  greater warmth values.
COMMON FIT
Styles that give you a good balance of warmth and tactility. These styles are generally insulated with a compressed insulation for a fit that has less bulk.
PROFILE FIT
Styles that give you ultimate tactical feel. These styles are lightly insulated or not insulated at all for a real feel type fit.

WARMTH RATING

POW Gloves warm rating icons are meant to be interpreted as a general guide for the insulation build and performance of said glove/mitt. It is generally known that mitts are
warmer than gloves due to the fact that your fingers share heat when they are not separated by fabric.
