They have taken all the best elements of the previous Markhof Pro Model versions, and given them some umph! Creating a warm and fitted glove with an excellent camera feel, the V3 has everything you would expect from a great photography glove.
From the streets to the peaks, the Markhof Pro V3 continues to be a fan favorite.
Designed for: Mid Winter (basically as cold as it ever gets here in Australia!)
These gloves are designed and manufactured by Vallerret and are not a product of our Australian factory.
- 100 % Merino Wool inner
- FlipTech finger caps with magnets
- DWR Genuine Goats leather
- Thinsulate Insulation (C100/C70)
- True Suede lens Wipe
- Pre-Curved Glove Design
- Non-Slip Grip with Unique Print
- Memory Card Pocket Embedded with Tripod Key
- Stretchy Jersey cuff
Please note: these gloves are designed to fit snuggly to give you the best camera feel without compromising on warmth. If you prefer a looser fit, please consider to go a size up.
As we learn more and more about gloves we also learn that all hands are different. Some people have long skinny fingers and slim wrists, others have wide hands with short fingers.
Vallerret gloves wont fit all even with the right measurements from the sizing chart – but we try!
What size should I get if I'm between sizes?
For many, the best option will be to go up a size if your measurements are in between sizes.
If you are between sizes or if your hands do not fit into the measurements on our sizing chart, we recommend prioritising the fit for the girth measurement. The girth is the most important measurement and if the girth size on the glove is too small, you won't be able to fit the glove.

I’ve finally purchased proper gloves made with intent. Can’t wait for some cooler mornings to field test them. They appear very well constructed and the grippy palm texture gives me some confidence for when I’m going to be setting up in sketchy surroundings. I’m thinking I must be in between sizes but in a proportional way. Maybe I should try the next size down
Took the Markhof Pro V3 gloves on a trip to Iceland. Very happy with the gloves. Warm, comfortable and well made. I was a little worried that the cold would get in at the joins (where the finger/thumb folds down) but this did not occur!
Support from the Lucky Straps team was excellent during the ordering process.
Outstanding customer support from Jim and the team. The Markhof V3 and a pair of power stretch inner gloves arrived interstate less than 40hrs after ordering and my subsequent decision to swap the inners for a smaller size was processed flawlessly inside a week. The V3's are lightweight, of excellent quality and have a high degree of thermal protection for AUS/NZ conditions. The magnets hold the fingertips back securely (I went for snug fitting inners to ensure the the tips snapped back easily) and there is a high level of 'grip' on the inside surface to ensure camera equipment remains firmly under control.
Fit snuggly but not restrictively tight. As someone who suffers with Reynaulds they are making winter photography possible especially being able to insert a hand warmer in the zipped pocket.
I received my Markhof Pro V3 gloves a couple weeks ago, and gave them their first test today on a chilly -7C Canberra morning. I couldn’t have been happier. I have bought multiple gloves over the years, they all seem to prioritise camera handling over warmth. These gloves make no compromises, I had perfectly warm hands and great camera control.

Warm and functional. I am sure I will get my moneys worth out of them.
These gloves have all that’s needed to keep your hands comfortable in extreme cold, so you can focus on your photography.
These gloves are made for photographers! Every feature awesome and they are definitely worth the price. The materials used and the quality are great!
Awesome product, very high quality and worth the extra few bucks compared to some of the cheaper ones on the market.
The Lucky Straps team went to the extra effort to get these out the door for me super quick.
We’re on my doorstep before I headed over seas 👌👌👌
I purchased these gloves just before heading to Alaska late last year. Great product, kept my hands very warm while still allowing me to operate my camera. Great quality and the gloves look great too.
Keeps my hands so warm and easy to fold the thumb and finger down on each glove when I need to be more precise. I am glad that I purchased these a great quality set of gloves that make camera work on the colder nights a doddle.
I bought these from Justin and the crew at Lucky Straps this year (2022)and tested them whist up at the high country in Victoria. All I can say is that they kept my hands as warm as toast without compromising on touch and suppleness.
The fit is true and they will give a little, but only slightly. Overall, another outstanding product at Lucky Straps ! Thanks guys :)
Serendipitously I had just had a wet and cold photography experience in the You Yangs when I came home to find that Lucky Strap was stocking Vallerret photography gloves. A quick pass through some online reviews and I purchased the Markhof v3 in Medium. They basically do what they say they are going to do - the grip on the palm keeps your camera firmly in hand, the flip back finger tips get held in place by magnets and let you get on with using your camera, and everything just works together really nicely in (Melbourne grade) cold weather. I've had them out in just below freezing temperatures, and it was fine, but I wouldn't want to go much lower than that without an additional layer.
For sizing, the chart and guidance provided here on Lucky Strap seems to be on point - I was in the middle of the range for M, and they fit snug and firm though without any dramas getting them on and off. Recommended.
(as an aside, one quick trial in the car shows that I can't wear these while driving - the grip on the palm made smooth steering a chore - so they aren't an all in one solution for all cold weather uses)
