UPDATE! 12/21/2022. We've been testing the Laikko in a lot of cold temperatures (-20c and colder!) Even after 1-1/2 hour training sessions our fingers are staying warm and dry. These are great gloves ar eour go-to 'one glove' for Biathlon.
Roeckl gloves have been popular on the biathlon World Cup for years, as they combine extcellent dexterity, grip, and warmth in a well-fitted, high quality glove. Tha Laikko is a medum weight glove, suitable for most Winter conditions.
The LAIKKO combines the advantages of a modern glove in a nutshell: It features a sporty-slender cut, fits like a second skin, offers a reliable grip on the ski pole, and provides effective climate management while protecting against wind and cold. This makes the LAIKKO a more than worthy successor to the legendary Landas. The success material ROECK-GRIP® is used on the palm. It provides extreme grip while being tactile, highly breathable and elastic. In short: It offers outstanding wear comfort and a safe grip for firmly planting the ski pole. For the backhand, glove specialist ROECKL SPORTS uses absolutely windproof GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® Soft Shell Elastic, which guarantees an effective humidity management even during intense sports activities, keeping your hands dry and warm. A warming lining provides additional comfort on cold days. Furthermore, integrated COMFORT-INNOVATION, a seamless padding, protects the pressure-sensitive crook of the thumb to avoid soreness from repeated pole plants. An easy closure fastener on the palm secures the glove around the wrist. As all ROECKL cross-country skiing gloves, the LAIKKO is also machine-washable at 30° Celsius (86° Fahrenheit).
