Johannes recommends

I always wear the same gloves at all sprint competitions, and I use them in training as well. It's Ergo Grip Race Cut with my own signature on it, in pink of course. A sprint race is only three minutes, but as there are four races in one day, it becomes really important to stay warm and active. I usually change into dry race gloves 9 minutes before the start, and then I switch to warmer gloves immediately after the finish. Johannes uses his own model Klæbo Pro at lower temperatures, both during training and at normal distance competitions. With weather-resistant Lycra fabric on the upper hand, stretch in the grip and a windproof Gore-Tex Infinium lining, they let moisture out but keep the warmth in. The cuff is short - less overlap makes it easier to access the pulse watch.

I am super pleased about the collaboration with Hestra, we have a constant dialogue. I'm a bit of a nerd and very careful with the details, and I love to work with dedicated professionals

Johannes always wears gloves during exercise – even if he’s roller skiing on a hot day – to achieve the same grip in training as on competitions. But it’s not only when skiing that he wears gloves.

I'm a little obsessed with gloves to be honest, it's become a way of life for me. Every autumn I go hunting with my grandfather, then I use outdoor gloves. When I dress up, I wear fashion gloves. I use a golf glove when I play golf, cycling gloves when I bike and when I ski downhill I use alpine gloves. It’s just a whole lot of different gloves.
