Differentiation Strategy

To achieve a value price point, this product simplifies materials and construction. It uses standard polyester instead of recycled fabrics and a basic PU palm. It forgoes proprietary technologies like DryVent™ and Heatseeker™ Eco for more economical, generic alternatives that offer sufficient performance for occasional or recreational users. Features considered non-essential for core function, such as the wrist leash and dedicated nose wipe, are omitted to reduce cost.

Success Replication

This specification retains the essential elements that make the reference product successful for winter sports. It keeps the long gauntlet style, which is crucial for preventing snow from entering the glove. It also maintains the core functional promise of a warm, waterproof, and breathable glove by using a PU membrane and standard synthetic insulation. The inclusion of touchscreen compatibility acknowledges a key modern consumer need.
