The Shear-Lock feature on 509 gloves is designed to provide a secure and adjustable fit around your wrist. Here’s what makes it special:

  1. Secure Fit: Shear-Lock is a type of closure system that ensures your gloves stay firmly in place. It typically involves a Velcro tab that you can easily adjust to tighten or loosen the fit12.
  2. Easy Adjustment: This system allows for quick adjustments, even with one hand. You can pull to tighten and then secure the Velcro tab to lock the gloves in place3.
  3. Enhanced Comfort: By providing a snug fit, Shear-Lock helps to seal out snow and cold air, keeping your hands warmer and more comfortable2.

The Shear-Lock system is found on several models of 509 gloves, including the Free Range and Range Insulated gloves, making them versatile and user-friendly for various snowmobiling conditions12.
