Born in Canada in 1945, Auclair has been making some of the highest-quality gloves out there ever since. And to be fair, Canadians know a thing or two about cold weather, so you can see why they'd want good gloves. As partners of both US Ski & Snowboard and Freestyle Canada, Auclair have their gloves put through the ringer by some of the world's finest athletes and a growing presence in the freeski scene has certainly caught our attention in recent years.

Auclair's support of the Newschoolers Open has been crucial to us getting a truly open freeski contest off the ground, but the brand's tight-knit and unique freeski team is perhaps the jewel in their crown. With names like Eddy T, Max Moffat, Jess Hotter, Kim Lamarre, and ABM on the books, the brand is making waves both in the backcountry, in the streets and in the biggest contests of the year.

...while ABM makes sure he gets the grab with his favorite gloves.

The unique squad is a perfect vehicle for a forward-looking line of products, including the vegan Eco Racer Mitt and Powgirl-developed Snow Angel Mitt. Both feature sustainable material choices and are favorites of the stacked team. They also offer a plethora of park and backcountry products. Their whole freeski and snowboard-friendly line is available in both glove and mitten form, so you can pick the option that works best for you.
