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.
