In addition to providing ample insulation for milder temps (boasting 33 grams of poly at the back and 133 at the palm and gauntlet), they come with ALTIHead battery-powered heat technology that runs off rechargeable lithium-ion batteries. Instead, turn to the Lucent Heated Sensor Gloves from Outdoor Research. When subzero temps rear their frigid heads, mere layers of insulation won’t cut it. Material/Fabric: Bemberg fleece, polyester, goat leather | Insulation: PrimaLoft Gold (60 grams on the palm) and Silver (133 grams on the back of the hand) | Waterproofing: GORE-TEX Active It also adds plenty of connection points-a hook to attach the gloves, finger webbing for carabiner loops on the cuffs, and a glove leash-that cater to the particular needs of mountaineering. GORE-TEX Active assures waterproof, breathable protection, and the pre-shaped construction delivers ample dexterity. And they layer in various insulation (133 grams of PrimaLoft Silver on the back and 60 grams of PrimaLoft Gold on the palm) to help you endure the cold, shadowy conditions of the early morning. The entire hand is constructed of durable goat leather, with extra-secure grip leather on the thumbs and palms for serious durability and control. Marketed as a free ride glove, the La Liste from Mammut boasts loads of features that any ambitious ski mountaineer would love. Material/Fabric: Polyester, goat leather, fleece | Insulation: 170 grams of PrimaLoft Gold | Waterproofing: BD.dry plus GTT Empel DWR finishĮlastic cuff may not be everyone’s first choice This model by Black Diamond scores well in both these areas. The breathability and the materials of mountaineering gloves are key criteria to consider when shopping. Wear the shell to keep out water on warmer, wet days the inner fleece liner (which boasts 170 grams of PrimaLoft Gold Insulation) for highly dexterous activities or both on truly frigid days. Better still, the insulated inner liner can be worn solo-offering three glove solutions in one. The long gauntlet cuff makes it easy to layer with all types of jackets, and goat leather palms with reinforcement patches will stand up to serious punishment. A proprietary BD.dry insert provides breathable waterproof protection with additional coverage via an Empel DWR treatment on the recycled, stretchy outer shell. The three-finger design adds warmth akin to a mitten but keeps your index finger free for ample dexterity. You really do get the best of all worlds with the versatile Soloist Finger Glove from alpine warriors Black Diamond. Some may want all fingers free (which Black Diamond supports in their Soloist Gloves)
