Deathgrip—the brand formerly known as Handout Gloves—solved the biggest problem in snowboarding and skiing: the constant battle of taking your gloves off in the cold. Whether you need to answer a call, zip up your jacket, or handle a camera, Deathgrip allows you to do it while keeping your wrists protected and your gear attached. At The Drop, we know how brutal a Grande Prairie winter can be, and this system is the most practical solution for keeping your hands warm while staying functional.
The Patented Zipper System
The heart of every Deathgrip product is the strategically placed, waterproof YKK zipper that runs across the knuckles. This allows you to "hand out" in seconds. Unlike traditional gloves that rely on touchscreen-compatible fingertips that rarely work, Deathgrip gives you your actual dexterity back. When you're done, simply slide your hand back in and zip up to seal in the heat. It’s a design that’s become a cult favorite for photographers, lifties, and backcountry explorers.
Premium Materials: Leather and Pro Series
Deathgrip doesn’t just rely on a clever gimmick; these are high-performance snow gloves. Their Pro Series utilizes premium goatskin leather for incredible durability and natural water resistance. For those deep winter days, their insulated mitts feature breathable waterproof membranes and high-loft insulation to ensure that even when the zipper is closed, you are protected against the harshest sub-zero temperatures.
Versatility for the Modern Rider
Beyond the classic leather mitts, we carry Deathgrip's lightweight and five-finger glove options. These are perfect for spring riding or high-output activities like snowshoeing where you need to regulate temperature quickly. The ability to "vent" the gloves by partially unzipping them makes them incredibly versatile for varying weather conditions. It’s gear designed by riders who were tired of the "on-again, off-again" struggle with their equipment.
