FAQs
What is the primary material used in these gloves?
The gloves are made from Polartec® Power Stretch® Pro™ fabric, which is a blend of polyester, nylon, and elastane.
Can these gloves be used in very cold weather?
They can be worn alone in temperate conditions or as an effective insulating layer (under-glove) for extreme alpine environments when paired with a warmer outer glove or mitt.
How do I clean the Rab Power Stretch Pro Gloves?
Hand wash in cool water with a mild detergent, rinse thoroughly, and air dry flat away from direct heat. Do not use fabric softener or tumble dry.
What is the main advantage of the Lycra® cuffs?
The low-volume Lycra® cuffs prevent the gloves from moving when worn under another pair of gloves and help to keep warmth trapped inside.
Are these gloves waterproof?
No, the gloves are not waterproof. They are designed for breathability and quick-drying capabilities, but for protection against rain or snow, an outer waterproof shell is recommended.
What is the weight of these gloves?
The gloves weigh approximately 43g (1.5oz).
Troubleshooting
Gloves feel tight or restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The Polartec® Power Stretch® Pro™ fabric offers a snug fit, but should not restrict blood flow. Try stretching them gently before wearing.
Reduced warmth or insulation
Check if the gloves are completely dry. Moisture significantly reduces insulation. If used as a liner, ensure the outer glove is providing adequate wind and water protection.
Fabric pilling or loss of stretch
Avoid prolonged contact with abrasive surfaces. Wash according to care instructions and avoid excessive wringing or drying with high heat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These gloves require no specific setup; they are ready to wear straight out of the packaging.
Compatibility: The Rab Power Stretch Pro Gloves are designed to be compatible with a wide range of activities. They can be worn on their own for general outdoor use or as a liner glove with any type of outer glove or mitt. The low-volume cuffs are specifically engineered to integrate seamlessly with other glove systems.
Care: To maintain the performance of your gloves:
- Washing: Hand wash in cool water with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can reduce the fabric's breathability and moisture-wicking properties.
- Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue.
- Drying: Gently squeeze out excess water – do not wring. Lay flat or hang to air dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not tumble dry.
