The partnership between Ziener and the German Skiing Association (DSV) has been established in the season 07/08. Since that year, Ziener equipes the DSV national Freestyle and Skicross teams with gloves and garments. The cooparation was tied up to the existing longterm teamwork with the DSV skiing instructor team, which has been satisfying for both parties.
Furthermore Ziener has become official DSV glove supplier for the disciplines of alpine skiing, ski jumping and nordic combination in May 2010. According to the company's motto "made by pros" Ziener could gain the skiing stars Felix Neureuther and Viktoria Rebensburg additionally for signing individual contracts.
Especially for the alpine discipline, Ziener developed in cooperation with the DSV athletes and the olympic-base in Garmisch, two high-quality racing gloves, which are featured as follows:
The "Gwarp Lobster" is a technically superior racing glove in lobster-cut with freely movable index finger made from
robust goatskin offering perfect protection against water and wind. The Ziener PROTECTSHIELD® with its special padding and protectors at the fingers, back of hand and rib, provide perfect protection against blows. In addition, the reinforced leather palm is extremely robust and ensures a secure grip.
The "Gran Risa" is a technically superior racing gloves made of robust goatskin which are optimally waterproof and windproof. The Ziener PROTECTSHIELD® with its special padding and protectors at the fingers, back of hand and rib, provide perfect protection against blows. In addition, the reinforced leather palm is extremely robust and ensures a secure grip.
The replica of the Pro models of Felix Neureuther and Viktoria Rebensburg are also available in the retail shops.
Ziener takes the DSV cooperation as an additional motivation to create outstanding products for outstanding athletes.
