Ski Gloves for Racers – Ziener GATOR PR LOBSTER Glove Race

Those who regularly attack slalom gates, train for races, or demand the highest quality from their equipment need special ski gloves that offer significantly more than classic leisure models. The Ziener GATOR PR LOBSTER Glove Race was developed precisely for this purpose.

The so-called lobster construction combines the warmth performance of mittens with the control of finger gloves. The result is a race glove that provides excellent protection, high precision, and maximum control even in icy conditions. Especially in alpine ski racing, this concept is a top choice for many athletes.

From our experience in race training and ski service, the GATOR PR LOBSTER is one of the most interesting gloves for skiers who don't want to compromise between warmth and performance.

Why Lobster Construction is so popular in racing

Many racers face a problem:

Normal finger gloves offer good control but often get too cold in chilly weather.

Classic mittens keep you warm, but reduce grip.

The GATOR PR LOBSTER solves exactly this problem.

More warmth than classic finger gloves

By grouping individual fingers together, significantly less heat is lost.

Advantages of lobster construction:

  • higher thermal performance
  • better insulation
  • fewer cold fingers
  • ideal for cold training days

Especially during long lift rides or cold race weekends, this advantage is clearly noticeable.

Precise grip on the ski pole

Despite the warmer construction, control is maintained.

This enables:

  • precise pole handling
  • secure grip
  • direct feel
  • high control during aggressive skiing

For many racers, this is the decisive advantage over classic mittens.

Race Protection for Slalom and Giant Slalom

In racing, gloves must regularly withstand tough impacts.

The integrated protectors guard against:

  • impacts from slalom gates
  • contact with race poles
  • abrasion
  • material stress in daily training

This significantly increases comfort and durability.

Robust construction for daily use

The GATOR PR LOBSTER was developed for intensive training.

Highlights:

  • durable materials
  • long-lasting workmanship
  • high dimensional stability
  • reliable performance over many seasons

Differences from classic ski gloves

Many conventional men's ski gloves or leisure models are designed for comfort.

Race gloves pursue a different goal:

Casual Gloves GATOR PR LOBSTER
Focus on all-round use Focus on racing
Less protection Race protectors
Normal fit Racing fit
Standard materials High-quality race materials
Lower durability Very robust construction

The difference becomes noticeable after just a few days of training.


Buying advice from a racing expert

We particularly recommend the Ziener GATOR PR LOBSTER for:

  • FIS racers
  • junior racers
  • club racers
  • coaches
  • ambitious alpine skiers

This model is particularly suitable for skiers who:

  • frequently train in slalom
  • get cold hands quickly
  • still need maximum control
  • spend a lot of time on the lift

In our opinion, the lobster construction is one of the best compromises between warmth and performance.


Care Instructions

Allow gloves to dry completely after training.

Do not dry directly on heaters.

Regularly care for leather areas to maintain suppleness and durability long-term.
