The Technology
Protection,
Built in.
Our innovative tanning process fixes leather fibers with a proprietary wax-like coating that helps form an invisible shield on the finished leather. The result is a material that naturally repels moisture while staying supple and strong.

From alpine expeditions to everyday winter commutes, WaxHide™ Leather was engineered for these environments, providing a rare balance of rugged protection and refined comfort. Its wax-like finish helps keep your hands dry, while its premium grain keeps gloves flexible and responsive in extreme cold.
WaxHide™ Leather
Rugged. Technical. Timeless.
WaxHide™ Leather represents the next evolution in glove design, bringing together the natural character of leather and the performance demanded by life outside.
Glove Technology
Waterproof
AquaBloc® is our proprietary waterproof, windproof, breathable technology. Engineered exclusively for hand wear, our seam-sealed AquaBloc® inserts allow moisture molecules to escape without letting water molecules in. It is the best of both worlds: let your sweaty hands breath while staying warm and dry.
Our waterproof Dri-Max® inserts provide optimal protection in cold and wet conditions.
GORE-TEX® technology keeps water out of our gloves, while allowing moisture from the inside (perspiration) to easily escape. The result is a glove that’s highly breathable and totally waterproof. The microporous structure of the GORE-TEX® membrane is what makes GORE-TEX® products completely water proof. Each microscopic pore is about 20,000 times.
Down Insulation
THINDOWN® brings the insulating advantages of conventional down into a simple, versatile, and streamlined textile. Lightweight, soft and breathable, this innovative cut and sew fabric provides uniform coverage that promises performance. THINDOWN® is an active insulation, helping retain and regulate natural body temperature. Proven to be 2 times warmer than the equivalent down fill and 4 times warmer than polyfill. Available in different weights and sourced solely from traceable and responsible down, RDS or GRS certified. OEKO-Tex certified to meet transparency standards for a more sustainable future for our health and our planet.
Downtek® DownTek™ Water Repellent Down is down that has been treated with water-repellent-nano-treatment. A proprietary application method instead of a bath treatment is used, thereby eliminating waste run-off. Gordini supports the Responsible Down Standard in our use of down.
Synthetic Insulation
Polartec® Thermal Pro advances fleece fashion with new knit structure for the most diverse style options without sacrificing performance. Technical fiber compositions maintain a soft texture and air pockets for thermoregulation and breathability. The adapted look and feel delivers the warmth and comfort of classic fleece. Knit with premium polyester yarns, Thermal Pro is cozy, resilient and stylish.
Megaloft® offers a reliable and durable alternative to down. This synthetic insulation retains its loft minimizing bulk but promising superior, lightweight, warmth. Water-resistant and versatile, Megaloft insulation provides distinct protection and comfort.
Fiber Tech
A patented weave combining the inherent insulating properties of wool with synthetics that wick moisture away from your skin. The warmth of wool with the wicking comfort of fleece.
Goggle Technology
With the reload magnetic lens interchange system, quickly remove lens and replace with a magnetic click.
Safety shouldn’t be secondary to performance and comfort. Gordini® Outrigger Helmet Compatibility System utilizes hinged outriggers to fit any helmet profile, providing a superior goggle seal, while distributing pressure evenly across the face. The outriggers lay flat when not in use, so you can wear any Helmet Compatible goggle with or without the helmet.
Gordini® takes the fight against fog seriously— our mission is to deliver the maximum optical experience so you can take your skills further. Our Air Flow Design maximizes air circulation throughout the goggle, using vents in the lens and frame to constantly scoop out moisture, keeping your field of vision dry and fog-free. Hiking the pipe or into the backcountry, or just lapping the lift, AFD® equals uncompromised performance.
Fogging happens when there is a lot of humidity in the air. Gordini® Venting System (GVS) keeps the inner lens warm and dry all day long.
Memory Face Foam
Features an open cell structure that reacts to body heat and pressure by molding to your unique facial features, helping to relieve pressure points and prevent air gaps. Patent Pending. Over The Glass
Visible Light Transmission (Vlt)
VLT is a measure of the amount of total visible light that will pass through the lens, Different tints offer specific VLT to enhance vision in various light conditions. All Gordini® lens tints protect your eyes from 100% of these harmful forms of solar radiation. All lenses provide 100% protection from harmful UVA and UVB rays.
Lens Tech
Bluebird, greybird, or flat light— every condition presents a different challenge to your vision. Wear a Mirrored lens for glare reduction in direct sunlight, a Gold and Rose tint for increased shadow contrast and depth of field in cloudy, flat light conditions, or a combination of the two for the ultimate in adaptability. Gordini® offers a broad spectrum of lens tints so you can keep riding, no matter what the weather throws at you.
Feet Forward
At Gordini, we've spent decades thinking about small pieces of gear that make big impacts. We took what we knew about our hands and got curious about our feet. The more we thought about them, the clearer it became that socks have not kept pace with progress.
That had to change. So we made socks.
Performance that Surrounds
OrbitFit™ fuses performance fibers in anatomically mapped 3D zones for a lighter, drier, better foot feel.
Combing soft Merino Wool and Coolmax® EcoMade Fiber for moisture-wicking cooling performance next-to-foot.
REPREVE® yarns made from recycled content, including plastic bottles, and reinforced Nylon for durability on the exterior.
We set out to do better. We make deliberate choices about materials, construction, and what "performance" actually means for people who spend their lives moving in the mountains.
OrbitFit™ socks are purpose-built for an active life. That means prioritizing comfort and durability over shortcuts, and thinking about how a sock performs on mile one the same way we think about mile twenty. Gear that holds up is just better. For you and for our planet. Full stop.
We're a small brand that cares about doing this right. Not perfectly. Just honestly, and always feet
forward.
