Description & Features
The LEKI Junior WCR PRO TR Mitts are protective ski race mitts built for junior alpine ski racers who need extra warmth, secure pole control, and substantial hand protection. Designed for ski racing and gate training, the Speed Panel and extended ceramic-reinforced EVA padding protect the fingers and back of the hand, while the Ceramic Enforced Silicone Surround Cushion adds flexible impact protection when clearing gates.
A durable Ceramic Shell combines with premium goatskin and PU palm materials for abrasion resistance and dependable grip during ski race training and competition. Hyperloft and Thinsulate insulation provide LEKI's highest warmth rating, while internal Finger Channels improve finger positioning, fit, and warmth inside the mitt. Junior Race Fit and a flexible neoprene cuff complete a race-specific design suited to cold training sessions and race days.

Construction & Technology
Trigger System
The Trigger System creates a direct connection between the mitt and compatible LEKI Trigger poles. Junior ski racers can quickly connect and release while maintaining a precise mitt-to-pole interface for responsive pole control during training and competition.
Junior Race Fit
Junior Race Fit shapes the mitt specifically for younger ski racers. The race-oriented construction supports a secure grip and precise pole handling without the excess bulk of a standard winter mitt.
Speed Panel
The integrated flexible TPU Speed Panel covers the central knuckle area to provide impact damping. Its ergonomic shape follows the hand while providing the protection and mobility needed when clearing gates during alpine ski racing.
Extended Ceramic Enforced EVA Padding
Ceramic-reinforced EVA foam padding extends across the fingers and back of the hand for increased protective coverage. The EVA cushions impacts from ski race gates, while ceramic reinforcement improves abrasion resistance in exposed areas.
Ceramic Enforced Silicone Surround Cushion
Flexible silicone cushioning surrounds the primary protective area to extend impact protection around the hand. Ceramic reinforcement adds abrasion resistance for repeated gate contact during ski race training and competition.
Pro Glide Zone
Protective panels and cushioning transition smoothly without pronounced edges, creating a streamlined surface that helps the mitt move cleanly through contact with slalom gates or the snow.
Finger Channels
Finger-shaped internal channels position each finger individually inside the mitt. This construction improves fit and pole control while helping retain the warmth junior racers need during cold training sessions and race days.
Ceramic Shell
Ceramic Shell reinforces the mitt's outer surface for increased abrasion resistance, helping it withstand repeated gate contact and the high-wear conditions associated with competitive ski racing.
Silicone Enforced Grip Pads
Silicone reinforcement in the palm increases traction between the ski race mitt and pole grip, helping junior racers maintain consistent control through starts, turns, and pole plants.
Flex Cuff
The flexible neoprene cuff makes the mitt easier to put on and remove while providing a close, comfortable fit around the wrist for ski training and competition.
Premium Goatskin
Premium goatskin provides a durable yet supple palm surface, supporting secure ski pole grip and natural hand movement during race training and competition.
Hyperloft & Thinsulate Insulation
Hyperloft and Thinsulate synthetic insulation retain heat around the hand to provide the mitt's Extra Warm level of thermal protection. This added warmth is valuable during cold ski race training, lift rides, course inspection, and time spent waiting for a race start.
Micro Bemberg Lining
Micro Bemberg provides a soft, warm interior with hydrophobic, fast-drying properties that help maintain comfort throughout long ski racing and training days.
