Gloves Leki WCR Venom GS 3D Lobster Size 8.5 — Lobster-style ski racing gloves

Leki WCR Venom GS 3D Lobster Size 8.5 are lobster-style ski racing gloves engineered for competitive alpine use. The split-finger (lobster) construction groups fingers to increase thermal efficiency while preserving dexterity for pole handling. These gloves are sized to fit a size 8.5 hand and are designed to integrate with racing suits and on-course protective equipment, offering a balance of warmth, grip and control for ski racers and serious trainers.

Advantages

The lobster-style design reduces heat loss compared with separate-finger gloves while maintaining effective pole grip and tactile feedback. Reinforced palm areas improve durability in high-wear zones and support reliable handling of ski poles during aggressive turns and starts. The glove shape and materials are selected to fit closely under race suits and to allow secure attachment of straps and protective elements without restricting movement.

Suitable for

• Ski racing (giant slalom and training)
• High-performance alpine training sessions
• Cold conditions where pole control and warmth are required
• Use with racing suits and hand protection systems

Key specifications

• Design: Lobster-style (split-finger) for combined warmth and control
• Size: 8.5 fit
• Palm: Reinforced area for improved grip and abrasion resistance
• Compatibility: Designed to pair with racing suits and pole straps
• Purpose: Competitive racing and high-intensity alpine training

How to use

Choose the size 8.5 glove for a snug fit that allows secure pole handling without excess material. Put the gloves on before fitting race suits or hand protection to ensure freedom of movement. Fasten any internal or external straps securely to prevent slippage on starts and during turns. After use, dry gloves thoroughly at room temperature and avoid direct heat sources to preserve materials and reinforcement layers.

Usage recommendations

Use these gloves for timed runs and training sessions where both pole control and thermal efficiency are priorities. Inspect reinforced palm areas regularly for wear and replace gloves when grip or protection is compromised.
