Bringing you the best in quality, warmth and durability, Swany gloves are designed to fit your unique, yet epic lifestyle. In 1990 Swany decided to make the best ski gloves in the world. Next, they wanted their gloves on the hands of the pros on the slopes, so in 1991 they signed agreements with the Professional Ski Instructors of America (PSIA) and the National Ski Patrol to supply gloves. Also in 1992, they signed a licensing deal to use the Flexor name and construction for sport gloves. Flexor was developed for the space program with finger mobility joints for better dexterity. The Flexor was followed by the Toaster Mitt. Swany's growth has been driven by innovation and the desire to make the best ski gloves. The introduction of glove categories that did not exist before (Flexor, Toaster Mitts) gave the retailers a reason to carry the more expensive Swany gloves. In 2000, they introduced the crossover gloves that rocketed Swany to the top.
