If you can’t beat it, join it. That adage easily applies to Frabill’s new FXE Snosuit® Task Glove. The original Chris Leonard designed FXE Snosuit bibs and parka have no rivals and likely never will. The brand set an unreachable bar in ice fishing outerwear. So instead of reinventing the wheel, Frabill® turned its energies toward developing accessories that live up to the FXE Snosuit’s elite performance. So let’s hear a big round of applause for the FXE Snosuit Task Glove, the hands-down champion in ice fishing handwear.
100% waterproof, windproof, and breathable is a given. Frabill wouldn’t put its name on anything that didn’t live up to the promise on the package or offer the core characteristics of any handwear engineered for ice fishing. But where things get really interesting is when Leonard discusses some of the signature features engineered into the FXE Snosuit Task Glove, fit and feel being first and foremost.
“It’s called ‘articulation,’” explained Leonard, an accredited apparel designer. “Essentially, the term is relative to how a garment is engineered to fit the natural curves of the human form, and then move with the body’s motion. In the case of the FXE Snosuit Task Glove, we’ve pre-curved the fingers to mirror the shape and posture of the human hand. Try on a pair. You’ll feel what I’m talking about.”
Further extending the hand’s range of motion, the FXE Snosuit Task Glove features dual knuckle and thumb “accordion” stretch panels. Grip a rod or handles on an auger and the glove becomes your friend, lending no resistance. Speaking of grip, let’s shift the limelight to the glove’s silicone “diamond plate” palm texturing. Ice angler extraordinaire and Frabill FXE Pro Staff Brian “Bro” Brosdahl can’t get over how miraculous the surface treatment is for clutching ice fishing tools.
“Ice fishing is a slippery sport if you know what I mean,” quipped Bro. “Combine cold air with icy surfaces and you’ve got a problem when it comes to holding onto stuff. Trust me, you don’t ever want to lose grip on a churning auger. Trust me as well that the diamond plating on the palm of the FXE Snosuit Task Glove sticks to cold, frozen surfaces better than anything I’ve ever worn.
From the car door to the fillet board, stuff sticks like glue.”
Other standard amenities include a rugged waterproof, windproof, and breathable outer shell with a soft yet durable brushed tricot lining. The palm is fortified with double topstitching with heavy-duty thread. Premium nose wipe material surrounds the thumb. And for the perfect fit, the FXE Snosuit Task Glove features a neoprene, gusseted cuff with infinite adjustment.
The FXE Snosuit Task Glove is an official member of the FXE (Frabill Extreme Elements) rough-n-tumble family of fishing products that are engineered to go beyond the call of duty, one step deeper into the rainstorm or blizzard to keep you fishing in comfort.
