Arc'teryx Sigma AR Gloves: First Impressions
At first glimpse, the Sigma AR has everything you want. This glove was designed for downhill skiing in just about any conditions. It is insulated with 200g of Primaloft, a synthetic insulator known to conserve your heat, even when it is moist or wet, unlike down. It is a big plus for a sport like downhill skiing where there is intense physical activity followed by doing nothing as we go back up the chair lift. Arc’teryx also placed Polartec® arctic wool Mid Loft on the inside skin to maximise the insulation capacity. On top of this, the glove is Waterproof/Breathable thanks to a GORE-TEX® XCR® layer. It seems very durable with its ultra flexible Lezanova Leather coating on the inside of the fingers. The Sigma AR also covers the wrists very well and is easily adjustable with the cord that can be tightened with only one hand. The Element look, that is so often coveted by skiers (don’t be ashamed), is sober, and proven in the purest of Arc’teryx traditions. All in all, they passed with flying colors on paper, so I decided to test it!

Mes premières impressions des gants Sigma AR d’Arc’teryx
À première vue, les Sigma AR ont tout pour plaire. Ce gant est bâti pour le ski alpin, dans à peu près n’importe quelles conditions. Il est isolé avec 200g de Primaloft, un isolant synthétique reconnu qui conserve votre chaleur même lorsqu’il est humide ou mouillé contrairement au duvet. C’est un excellent point pour un sport comme le ski alpin dans lequel on fait un effort pour ensuite s’arrêter pour prendre le remonte-pente. Arc’teryx ont aussi placé une laine polaire Polartec® Thermal Pro® Mid Loft contre la peau à l’intérieur, pour augmenter sa capacité isolante. Ce gant est aussi imper-respirant grâce à la présence d’une membrane GORE-TEX® XCR®. Il semble très durable avec son revêtement de cuir ultra souple Lezanova à l’intérieur des mains. Les Sigma AR couvrent aussi très bien les poignets et sont facilement ajustables grâce au cordon qui se serre et se desserre à une main seulement. Le look, élément souvent primordial pour les skieurs (n’ayons pas honte), est sobre et épuré dans la plus pure tradition Arc’teryx. Bref, ils ont tout pour réussir sur papier. J’ai donc décidé de les tester!
