Product Information
Full details
The Rab Power Stretch Pro Gloves are designed for adult men seeking lightweight warmth and dexterity in cool to cold mountain conditions. Their primary benefit is providing versatile insulation that can be worn alone or as a liner, ensuring hands stay dry and comfortable. A potential caveat is their suitability for extremely cold conditions when worn alone, where layering might be necessary. These gloves are made from Polartec® Power Stretch® Pro™ fabric, offering a balance of warmth, breathability, and stretch.

FAQs
What is Polartec® Power Stretch® Pro™ fabric?
It's an advanced fabric blend that provides four-way stretch, excellent warmth, breathability, and durability. It's designed to wick moisture away from the skin, keeping you dry and comfortable.
Can these gloves be used in the rain?
The gloves are not waterproof, but they are quick-drying. They can handle light precipitation and will dry relatively quickly if they get wet.
How do I determine the right size?
Refer to the Rab sizing chart for gloves. Measure the circumference of your palm and the length of your hand to find the best fit.
Are these gloves suitable for extreme cold?
While they offer warmth, they are best suited for moderate conditions when worn alone. For extreme cold, they are recommended as a liner glove layered with a more insulated outer glove or mitt.
Can I use these gloves with my smartphone?
The stretch fabric may offer some compatibility with touchscreens, but performance can vary. They are not specifically designed as technical touchscreen gloves.
What is the main advantage of the Lycra-trimmed cuffs?
The low-volume Lycra® cuffs help to secure the gloves in place, preventing them from slipping down, especially when worn under another pair of gloves, and they also help to seal out drafts.
Troubleshooting
Gloves feel too tight or restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the size is correct, the stretch fabric will offer more comfort after a short break-in period.
Hands feel cold in very low temperatures
These gloves are designed for moderate conditions or as a liner. For extreme cold, consider wearing them as a liner under a more insulated, waterproof outer glove or mitt.
Reduced grip on smooth surfaces
The Polartec® Power Stretch® Pro™ fabric offers good grip, but performance can vary. Ensure the gloves are clean and dry for optimal friction.
