Swany’s X-Calibur Glove has graced the pages of our coveted Buyer’s Guide in year’s past for its premium quality and durability. For 2024-2025, the X-Calibur Glove continues harking on those characteristics with a performance leather outer layer with a digitized leather palm overlay. Underneath the performance leather, the X-Calibur Glove features multiple densities of PrimaLoft insulation—thickest on the back of hand for added warmth, thinnest on the palm for better dexterity and most flexible on the sidewalls. This strategic placement of insulation maintains the best warming qualities without losing any functionality, especially when paired with Swany’s Dynaflex construction, which molds the fingers and palm for better grip. Available in men’s and women’s sizes, Swany’s X-Calibur Glove is designed for heavy-duty skiers looking for a glove that can match that energy.
