Insulation and barrier Recycled Thinsulate™ EC150 + Hy+Dry membrane

Three lines of defence between the snow and the skin

A glove built for snow rather than for the workshop. 3M Recycled Thinsulate™ EC150 insulation is aimed at full days outside, chairlift included.

Between lining and outer sits a Hy+Dry barrier, adding a defence against liquids while letting vapour through. Outside, the palm is Dryhide™ treated full-grain goatskin, the back a windproof nylon blend. The extended gauntlet closes with a drawcord and an adjustable wrist strap.

Grand-Froid expert's view

Clearing a driveway, riding a snowmobile or stringing together a full day on the slopes: the North of 49° takes all three in its stride. Its Recycled Thinsulate™ EC150 insulation delivers lasting warmth, while the leather palm absorbs mechanical wear — bindings, poles, handlebars — where standard ski gloves eventually give way. A remarkably versatile model, equally at home on a winter hike and in everyday use.

What is it designed for?

Designed for long days out in the snow, it also carries the everyday once winter settles in. Here is where it gives its best.

Skiing and snowboarding — the gauntlet goes over the jacket, the drawcord blocks snow at the entry
Winter hiking and snowshoeing — leather takes the poles, the Hy+Dry barrier lets vapour escape
Polar travel — Lapland, Yukon, Svalbard: EC150 insulation for whole days outdoors
Snow clearing and outdoor jobs — shovel, blower, firewood to bring in, wet snow
Snowmobile, sled and outings on ice — the nylon back screens the apparent wind
Outdoor maintenance and mechanics — chairlifts, towers, open workshops: the gauntlet opens wide to pull the glove off for a fiddly part
Everyday severe cold — commutes, waiting, driving, when the thermometer stays below zero all day

Thermal protection

Three elements work together. Recycled Thinsulate™ EC150 makes up the insulating volume, with fine fibres holding the air your hand has warmed. The nylon back cuts the wind, chief cause of a drop in perceived warmth. The Hy+Dry barrier keeps water from reaching the insulation, which loses its effect once soaked. The model is given as water resistant, not waterproof: under prolonged immersion, moisture eventually gets through. Over the longest exposures, a thin liner glove added underneath widens the comfort range again.

Care & Durability

Air dry — leather keeps its suppleness away from a direct heat source
Snow brushed off before storing — the Hy+Dry barrier works better on a dry glove
Full-grain leather — the densest layer of the skin, the one that takes abrasion longest
Reinforced zones already covered — fingertip hoods and thumb saddle absorb wear before the stitching does

Why choose the North of 49° 9502?

It is the warmest of the Watson models we carry, with an intermediate barrier that work gloves do not have. The long gauntlet and its drawcord change everything the moment there is snow on the ground.

What makes a glove hold at −30 °C / −22 °F:

The volume of still air: that is what insulates, not the material itself — a higher weight holds more air
Stopping the wind: without a windproof layer, moving air sweeps away stored heat and perceived warmth falls
Managing moisture: wet insulation conducts heat outwards instead of holding it in

A thin liner glove worn underneath extends endurance on the longest outings.

* Indicative temperature. Perceived warmth varies with activity, body type, humidity, wind and the layers worn underneath.
