What are the Transition Windstopper Gloves?
They're versatile, lightweight, close-fitting gloves that offer windproof protection for various outdoor and everyday adventures, whether hiking, biking, scrambling or trail running.
What are they made from?
Rab has constructed these gloves from three-layer Windstopper® Products by Gore-Tex Labs, for maximum protection from harsh winds.
Windstopper® Products by Gore-Tex Labs blocks all wind, so you don't have to worry about that icy wind chill numbing your fingers. The technology still allows plenty of breathability, helping prevent moisture build-up inside the gloves, keeping you comfortable and managing temperature during intense activity.
WINDSTOPPER® Products by Gore-Tex Labs use's the brands latest ePE membrane, which is made without the use of PFAS/PFC chemicals and is finished with a fluorocarbon-free DWR (durable water repellent) to encourage the fabric to shed moisture instead of soaking in. However, please note this does not make the gloves waterproof.
If you were wondering, PFAS/PFCs are per or poly-fluorinated chemicals, aka 'forever chemicals' that stay permanently in the environment and cause lasting damage to our ecosystems. This is why many companies are working towards a completely PFC-free future, and this latest ePE membrane from Gore-Tex® is a big step forward for the brand.
What are their features?
The Transition Windstopper Gloves feature a silicone print on the palm for exceptional grip, perfect for scrambling over technical terrain and rock when you need a little extra stability. A conductive print on the index finger and thumb allows you to use your smartphone and other devices without taking the gloves off.
The gloves fit comfortably close to the skin, retaining warmth and allowing you to get more precision under the hands. Optimal stretch improves the fit and overall comfort, giving you much more flexibility and freedom of movement for handling kit. In-pattern branding finishes the design, giving the gloves a bold, contemporary look.
