ZIENER
|
ZIENER is a prominent European brand of German origin, founded in 1946 in Oberammergau (Bavaria) by master glove maker Franz Ziener Senior. Initially, Ziener handcrafted high-quality gloves for everyday street wear; however, its proximity to the mountains and the influence of alpine sports led the brand to specialize in technical ski gloves. Today, it specializes in the manufacture of technical gloves, skiwear, and cycling gear. Led by the fourth generation of the founding family, the company has established itself as a market leader in winter sports gloves and serves as the official supplier to major national ski associations, such as the German (DSV) and Austrian (ÖSV) federations. |
Why choose ZIENER gloves
Deep specialization in handwear
While they produce excellent technical apparel, they are true masters of glove making. Their designs minimize irritating seams, optimize ergonomics, and ensure you retain tactile feel and sensitivity when handling bindings, poles, or zippers.
Cutting-edge technology and innovation
For over 30 years, they have collaborated closely with industry leaders like GORE-TEX to ensure absolute waterproofing and breathability. They also incorporate premium insulation materials such as PrimaLoft® Gold and Lavalan—a traceable, sustainable alpine wool.
Tested in elite competition
Ziener is the official equipment supplier for elite national federations, including the German Ski Association (DSV) and the Austrian Ski Federation (ÖSV). Direct feedback from professional athletes is immediately incorporated into the development of their commercial products.
Excellent value for money
Compared to other high-end brands in the alpine sector, user reviews on outdoor platforms highlight that Ziener offers highly durable construction and superior thermal protection without the prohibitive price tags.
