"In specialty retail trades such as outdoor, ski, hunting and fishing, the most highly successful new products are those with innovation which fulfills an obvious need,” said Wendall Tremblay.
“In over 30 years of working with outdoor companies the VO gloves and mitts with CZiP are some of the very best new products I've seen and everyone I've talked with – consumers, buyers and sales reps agree.”
Salt-Lake City native Eric Vaughn, an avid snowboarder and director of research & development for VO, originally coined the idea for CZiP after experiencing the inconvenience of removing his gloves to let his hands cool down every time he got on the ski lift.
“This was a waste of time, inconvenient and I risked dropping a glove from the lift every time I removed one. On one trip up the lift, I looked down at my glove and thought how this problem could be solved if there was an opening on the glove that would allow access to my hands without taking the glove all the way off.”
Highlights of the new VO glove with CZiP line include the Vader Leather Glove, Workhorse Leather Glove, Low Pro Park Glove (snowboard park gloves) and Classic Glove & Mitt for active winter sports; offered in full grain washable leather and abrasion- and water-resistant Taslan, over- and under-cuff models with PrimaLoft insulation, waterproof breathable membrane, and inner snowcuff of anti-pilling fleece lining.
Also featured in the line are models for women's fit use, as well as everyday wear and include the Whiteout Glove, Milli Glove, Uinta Glove and Unisex Fleece Glove.
