What is the Rab Storm Glove?
Rab's Storm gloves are warm, waterproof and great for all year round cold, wet weather use. Featuring a soft fleece lining and a goat leather palm, they're both tough and exceptionally comfortable.
What are the gloves made of?
Fabrics: The storm gloves feature a tough nylon outer fabric to deal with the abuse that the mountains and trails have to offer, while a goat leather palm increases abrasion resistance even further when handling rope and tools. Underneath this, you get a completely waterproof Porelle Dry membrane to ensure your hands stay completely dry in the worst conditions. A soft fleece lining increases comfort even further and wicks away sweat when you're working hard.
Insulation: Beneath the tough outer layers lies a warm Pyrotec insulation; this insulation is compressible, durable, lofts brilliantly and is warm even when wet. This insulation combined with the waterproof membrane and tough goat leather palm ensures comfort, warmth and durability for all year round use.
What are the features?
Aside from the tough shell and warm inner, the Storm Gloves pack quite a few little extra features. On the back of the thumb you'll find a soft patch of fabric to wipe your nose with (really useful in super cold conditions when handling tools), while a single-handed drawcord cuff closure seals out the weather. A little loop on the lower of the cuffs allow you to hand them from your harness when not in use, or to air out if you've been sweating prefusely during the day.
Summary
These gloves are brilliant value for the versatility they offer; use them for mountaineering, trekking, general walking or just everyday use in cold environments.
