The company will also introduce the new SWIX Star XC 100 Nordic Glove featuring wave fit technology, and powered by PrimaLoft ONE Insulation for an ultra-warm, comfortable and dry experience.

PrimaLoft ONE is the ideal insulation for SWIX Nordic Gloves. Providing warmth, dryness and dexterity even in the harshest conditions, PrimaLoft ONE withstands moisture and dries remarkably fast, making it the gold standard for warmth, water resistance and softness.
“We are delighted to work with SWIX in transitioning their Nordic Glove line to PrimaLoft® Insulation,” said Rodney Lane, Eastern U.S. territory manager for PrimaLoft. “We’re looking forward to a long term partnership with this highly respected brand that is world renowned for their Nordic skiing heritage.”
