Product Information

Full details

The Mountain Equipment Mountain Glove is designed for outdoor enthusiasts and mountaineers who require reliable protection against harsh, wet, and cold conditions. These gloves provide the ideal balance of warmth and dexterity through a combination of synthetic insulation and a waterproof barrier, making them an excellent choice for winter trekking and alpine climbing. While they offer robust weather protection, users should note that the thicker insulation may slightly reduce tactile sensitivity when performing fine motor tasks compared to lighter, non-insulated alternatives.

FAQs

Are these gloves touch-screen compatible?

No, these gloves are designed primarily for durability and thermal protection, and do not feature touch-sensitive fingertips.

Can I machine wash these gloves?

It is highly recommended to hand wash them to protect the internal waterproof membrane and maintain the integrity of the insulation.

How should the gloves fit?

They should fit snugly but not restrict blood flow. You should be able to make a fist comfortably with minimal bunching of material.

Are they suitable for extreme high-altitude expeditions?

While highly capable, these are general-purpose mountain gloves; for extreme high-altitude, you may require a dedicated expedition mitt.

What does 160D Nylon refer to?

The 160D refers to the denier of the nylon, indicating a thick, durable fabric weight specifically chosen for abrasion resistance.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel cold despite insulation

Ensure the cuff drawcord is pulled tight to prevent warm air from escaping and cold wind from entering.

Moisture buildup inside the glove

This may be due to high exertion. Try loosening the cuffs during periods of high activity to improve ventilation.

Decreased grip on equipment

Clean the palm panels with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated dirt or oils that may reduce traction.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent warmth-to-weight ratio with synthetic fill
  • Reliable waterproof and breathable performance
  • Durable construction suitable for abrasive alpine environments
  • Pre-shaped fit improves natural hand articulation
  • Easy-to-use cuff adjustment for rapid sealing

Cons

  • Heavier than minimalist softshell gloves
  • Reduced tactile feedback due to insulation thickness
  • Not suitable for extremely high-exertion activities in mild temperatures

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Mountain Gloves, it is essential to follow proper care protocols.

Setup: Before your first outing, ensure the cuff drawcord is adjusted to your preferred tension to allow for quick one-handed entry and exit.

Compatibility: These gloves are compatible with most standard trekking poles and ice axes. They are designed to fit under the cuffs of most technical mountain jackets.

Care:

  • Hand wash in lukewarm water with a technical cleaner designed for waterproof gear.
  • Avoid using standard detergents or fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment.
  • Air dry the gloves away from direct heat sources like radiators or open flames to prevent damage to the waterproof membrane and synthetic fill.
