Actually someone at this forum did email, asked where they could purchase Zero Gloves and this was the answer received:

"We are currently in the process of adding online purchasing. You can call our toll free number and we can assist you in pricing/ordering."

For 3 years the product name has been marketed and, yet, the product has never been manufactured for retail.

Just the oddest thing I have ever come across, especially since the company site eludes to the product already on the market.

Another oddity is, if you check the news page link, at the bottom there is reference and a link to a news story that features a Zero Gloves product. I clicked the link and watched the story and the gloves featured are manufactured by a different and unrelated company.

HMMM....the heat flow gloves are listed on the zero gloves website. They have "Zero" embroidered above "Heat Flow". Perhaps those were the gloves that the lady was speaking of at the end of the segment.

So with that, how can you say that they aren't sold anywhere?

My son is a competative snowboarder (not pro) and it is amazing how much free stuff he gets at contests & from coaches much of which you cannot currently buy. And every time he buys something or goes to contest there are stickers everywhere. That is how you get your companies name out there and many of your customers are young kids who will talk the parents into buying something. Even the big companies have the pros use the new version of say snowboards that are not in the market yet to promote them and get excitment about a product before it is available. Snowboarding is quite a business you just can't produce a product and hope it catches on. So it doesn't surprise me that Zero gloves is starting out the way they are - slow but steady and free promos...

"Heat Flow" is a licensed trademarked feature and there is even a company that sells a particular glove referred to as, "Zero Heat Flow" but that is not nor affiliated with Zero Gloves.

Zero Gloves company exists (promoted for 3 years and has a web site with an extended product line), the parent glove company exists (for over 100 years), but I cannot find any indication that Zero Gloves are sold retail. They might hit the marketplace later this year, who knows ...

I just find this odd ... screwy.

Here is a lilltle article I found about the Fairfleld Line and Zero Gloves. The article was published in the local newspaper in March:

Like I said, if you call them personally and tell them which gloves you are interested in, they can probably find a way to get you the gloves.

So what is this? Zero Gloves - Products: Zero Ski: Heat Flow Lady
