Valentino Ascent Snow Leopard Mitt Signature Collection

The XTM Valentino Ascent Snow Leopard Mitt is a snow mitt from XTM's signature collection with Australian Olympic snowboarder Valentino Guseli. A softshell shell printed with a snow leopard face covers an eVent StormST membrane rated 20,000 mm waterproof and 15,000 g/m2 breathable, 60g Thinsulate insulation and a goat skin suede palm, in sizes 2XS to XL.

Who it's for

Valentino Guseli rides halfpipe, slopestyle and big air, has broken a world record and stood on World Cup podiums, and the Snow Leopard Collection is built around his style: quick, light and fearless. The Ascent Mitt brings that to your own hands. Ride the lift, lap the park, and the wrist leash keeps the mitts with you the whole time. The snow leopard eye on the back of each mitt makes sure nobody mistakes them for anyone else's.

Waterproofing and breathability

Under the print sits an eVent StormST membrane: 20,000 mm waterproof and 15,000 g/m2 breathable. Wet snow stays outside, and the heat you build up riding has somewhere to go. The membrane is plant-based, made from highly renewable sources, and the softshell outer carries a PFAS-free DWR, so water beads off without fluorochemicals.

Fit and layering

A soft, breathable bemberg lining sits against your skin, and an ergonomic no-snag velcro cuff closes the wrist in a clean, low-profile line. Sizes run from 2XS to XL.
