“This is a great glove for technical ice or mixed climbing and summer in the Alps. The dexterity is excellent and the palm very hard wearing, giving a good grip on both tools and ropes.” Al Powell, Alpine Guides International
Our Verdict
Quite a substantial glove that offers very good insulation and breathability - water resistant, so buy this one if you want high warmth and breathability but don't need full day protection against rain.
