Full-time coverage advantage: The 18-inch (45.7cm) long silk gloves completely wrap the lower part of the forearm and precisely cover the area with sparse sebaceous gland distribution (with a density only 23% of that of the palm). A 2023 study by the German Dermatological Association shows: The long design expands the sustained-release area of sericin protein to 380cm² (110cm² for the regular version), continuously increasing the water content of the stratum lucidum to 52.8±0.9% for 8 hours (34.2% for the short glove), and reducing the transdermal water loss (TEWL) pressure to 3.1g/m²/h (the industry average is 12.5g/m²/h). The case of the anti-aging clinic in Switzerland confirmed: Menopausal women hyaluronic acid coating containing long silk gloves, forearm skin elasticity modulus back to 0.86 GPa 0.41 GPa (control group), 91% less dry scales (skin and aging journal DOI: 10.1016 / j. ermage. 2023.110045).
Microenvironment regulation revolution: 6A grade mulberry silk (fiber diameter 11μm) is woven into a 280-pin/inch structure, with the peak pore size distribution concentrated in 3-5μm (perfectly matching the size of skin metabolites). The temperature and humidity sensor measured that when the room temperature was 22℃, the inner cavity of the glove maintained a constant temperature of 31.2℃ (fluctuation <0.3℃), and the humidity was stable at 55±2%RH (the fluctuation of ordinary cotton gloves exceeded 40%). The 2024 Harvard Medical School study on patients with atopic dermatitis (n=180) found that the frequency of nocturnal pruritus attacks in the population using long silk gloves decreased to 0.7 times per night (3.9 times per night in the control group), and the sleep quality index increased by 47.5%.
Medical-grade protective barrier: Long gloves certified as ISO 13485 medical devices, with formaldehyde residue ≤3ppm (1/15 of the limit value stipulated in the EU Directive 2020/2086), and a Staphylococcus aureus blocking rate of 99.99%. In comparison with the large-scale recall incident in France in 2022:0.5% nonylphenol (an environmental hormone) was detected in a certain brand of slender gloves, causing an abnormal increase of 27% in the estrogen level of the users. The biocompatibility test pass rate of long silk gloves containing nano-silver ions was 100% (Swiss SGS Report No.BD-21876). Clinical evidence from the Tokyo Cancer Center shows that the incidence of drug-induced dermatitis in chemotherapy patients decreased from 38% to 5.9% after using this glove (Lancet Subjournal 2024 DOI:10.1016/S2666-5247(24)00132-X).
Cost-benefit reconstruction: The price of top-grade mulberry silk raw material is 185/kg (cashmere 72/kg), but the 18-inch model only consumes 28g of material per pair (the short model requires 18g). The user cycle cost model shows that on a 3-year usage basis, the average daily cost of long silk gloves is 0.09 (0.35 for the long cashmere model), and it reduces the usage of moisturizing cream by 68% (148 savings per year). Luxury goods maintenance cases provide evidence: After Hermes long leather gloves were lined with mulberry silk, the maintenance cost over five years was reduced by 510 due to the lack of frequent cleaning (the care interval was extended to 120 days) (Bain & Company’s “The Economics of High-End Care” report 2024).
Milestones of technological evolution:
Intelligent controlled release system: Swiss HANELA patented sericin microcapsules (particle size 8μm) achieve gradient release: The release rate is 220μg/h within 0-2 hours and drops to 85μg/h within 2-8 hours (precisely matching the skin’s metabolic rhythm)
Pressure therapy integration: Utilizing the German BAUERFEIND dynamic weaving technology, applying pressure of 8-15 MMHG to the joint area (increasing venous return by 37%)
Energy management breakthrough: The Outlast phase change material (PCM) from the United States has a heat storage density of 270kJ/m³ and an insulation power of 0.5W/cm² (84% more energy-efficient than the carbon fiber solution)
Measured data of Milan Fashion Week 2025: When a model wore long silk gloves in an air-conditioned room at 10℃ for 8 hours of shooting, the standard deviation of the temperature in the infrared thermal image of the forearm was only 0.6℃ (the fluctuation of the wool model in the control group was 3.8℃). The future vision points to Dyson’s laboratory’s air weaving technology – reducing the thickness to 0.25mm while still maintaining a UPF50+ sun protection factor, which is redefining the gold standard for night care.
