VIKING PolarTack Platform Tennis Glove, Large

The VIKING PolarTack Platform Tennis Glove is a specialized piece of equipment designed to address the unique challenges of playing Platform Tennis (Paddle Tennis) in cold weather. It prioritizes warmth without sacrificing the critical feel and grip needed for the sport.

Key Performance and Cold Weather Features

• Extra Duty Fleece Backing: The primary material on the back of the hand and the lining is extra duty fleece (often acrylic or a blend with foam insulation). This is the key feature for extra warmth and protection against the harsh winter cold, snow, and wind common on outdoor paddle courts.

• Premium Sheepskin Palm: The palm is made from premium sheepskin leather (often referred to as soft leather). This material is chosen specifically for:
• Ultimate Performance and Feel: It provides excellent tactile feedback, allowing the player to maintain a connection to the paddle grip, which is a common complaint with generic winter gloves.
• Superior Grip ("PolarTack"): The sheepskin naturally offers a high-friction, tacky, and absorbent surface, ensuring a secure, non-slip hold on the paddle, even when the leather becomes slightly damp from moisture or sweat.
• Elastic Stretch Back (Likely): The back of the glove is often designed with an elastic stretch material to provide a snug, comfortable fit that doesn't restrict movement during swings.
• Elongated Wrist Strap: Features an elongated wrist strap or cuff that helps seal off the wrist area, protecting against the elements and preventing snow or cold air from entering the glove.
