Grandoe Sports History

GRANDOE GLOVES- WE MAKE THE PRODUCTS THAT ENHANCE YOUR COMFORT AND ENJOYMENT OF LIFE

From modest beginnings as a leather glove manufacturer in the late 1800's Grandoe gloves has grown to become one of the premier winter sport glove brands. Our reputation as a leading producer of innovative and high quality products that enhance people's comfort dates back to our first glove patent in 1897 and it continues today. In fact, Grandoe gloves is proud to have more patented and patent pending comfort technologies currently in use than any other glove manufacturer in the business.

For more than 100 years Grandoe has been praised and honored for the special products it creates. Now under the ownership and direction of the fourth and fifth generations of its founding family, Grandoe's strong tradition of producing the finest high performance ski, snowboard, and outdoor gloves has made it the choice of Olympic ski and snowboard medalists, the U.S. National Freestyle Ski Team, and the multi-national Trans-Antarctic Expedition.

Leading winter sports and outdoor consumer publications have chosen Grandoe ski gloves to receive the "gold medal" award for outstanding product and have also paid tribute to Grandoe as the "warmest of the warm" in side-by-side comparison tests with other major glove brands.

In the world of Outdoor Sports, Grandoe mountaineering gloves are worn and endorsed by some of the most accomplished high altitude climbers, including world famous Ed Viesturs - the first American to climb the world's fourteen highest mountains (all with peaks over 8,000 meters above sea level) without supplemental oxygen.

According to Eric Friedman, Grandoe's President and CEO, "What sets us apart from the competition is our selection of fine quality materials, attention to the smallest details including the latest color and styling trends, and the integration of exclusive comfort concepts that really make a difference in peoples' lives." Grandoe gloves products are available in nearly every major market in the United States and in select markets around the world.
