Extremities Technology Explained
Next-generation performance. Built from the fabric up.
Extremities has spent decades pushing the limits of glove, hat, and accessory technology. From eco-conscious materials to specialist membranes that keep you warm, dry, and visible — every fabric in our range has a purpose.
Here’s what each Extremities fabric tech means for real-world use:
X-Therm
Maximum warmth with minimum bulk.
X-Therm is an all-season thermal fabric engineered for warmth, stretch, and breathability. The dual-layer fabric pairs a tough outer with an ultra-soft fleece lining next to the skin.
X-Dry
Waterproof, breathable, and heat-retentive.
X-Dry is our core waterproof technology. It features a water-resistant outer shell and a breathable inner membrane that lets vapour escape while keeping water out.
helping you stay dry and warm in wet conditions.
X-Dry Stretch
All the benefits of X-Dry — with added freedom.
X-Dry Stretch uses the same waterproof membrane, but with a flexible outer shell. It delivers the same protection while improving movement and dexterity — ideal for active pursuits or form-fitting gloves.
X-Block
Windproof protection when the weather turns.
X-Block stops cold air from penetrating your gear — especially important for hands exposed during high-speed or high-output activity. Breathable and insulating, without bulk.
X-Eco
Sustainable materials with no compromise on performance.
X-Eco products are made using at least 90% recycled fabric. By focusing on post-consumer materials, we reduce the environmental footprint of our manufacturing — without affecting technical performance or comfort.
X-Glo
Glow-in-the-dark safety for low light visibility.
X-Glo adds reflective visibility through integrated glass bead technology. Reflective prints and yarns bounce light back to its source, helping you stay seen in the dark.
Touchscreen Compatible
Control your devices without removing your gloves.
Some Extremities gloves include touchscreen-compatible fingertips (typically on the thumb and index finger) that allow you to operate smartphones, tablets or other capacitive screens while still wearing your glove.
Oeko-Tex
Tested for harmful substances.
Products labelled with OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 are independently tested for harmful levels of over 100 substances — ensuring they’re safe next to your skin.
Bluesign
Safer materials. Responsible production.
The bluesign® system tracks the entire supply chain — from raw materials to finished fabric — ensuring every step meets strict environmental and safety standards.
Clo Insulation
Warmth without weight.
Clo Insulation is a high-performance synthetic alternative to down. Lightweight, compressible and thermally efficient — it offers consistent warmth even when wet, ideal for outdoor use in unpredictable conditions.
Merino Wool
Natural warmth. Technical performance.
Merino is nature’s performance fabric. It insulates when wet, resists odour, and regulates temperature far better than cotton or standard wool — making it ideal for next-to-skin use in winter accessories.
