Vaughn Outdoor, a new Utah-based company, has launched its new easy to remove, zip-off CZiP gloves and mittens on the market. The CZiP design features a zipper at the top of the hand portion (just below the knuckles) of a glove or mitten and allows the wearer to remove the material covering the hand and fingers without completely removing the glove or mitten. With their hands free, the wearer can perform other functions, while still having the open portion secured around the wrist.

The gloves and mittens, which were awarded the Riri Sportswear Accessories Award at the ispo BrandNew competition, will be formally launched at the SnowSports Industries America (SIA) Winter Show in Las Vegas on January 23.
