• Durable Textured PU Palm: Features a tough, highly textured polyurethane (PU) palm that provides exceptional grip and durability for handling trekking poles, ice axes, or ropes.
• Adjustable Weather-Sealing Wrist: Equipped with a quick-adjust hook-and-loop wrist strap to securely cinch out the elements, alongside a shaped pull-on cuff for effortless wearing and extended coverage.

Care & Maintenance Instructions

• Cleaning: Spot clean with a damp sponge where possible. For full washing, hand wash gently using a technical cleaner (such as Nikwax Tech Wash). Do not use biological detergents, fabric softeners, or bleach.
• DWR Maintenance: If water stops beading on the softshell surface, apply a specialist spray-on DWR reproofer while the gloves are still damp to restore their water repellency.
• Drying: Allow to dry naturally in a cool, well-ventilated area with the fingers pointing upwards. Never place on a radiator, near direct heat sources, or tumble dry, as extreme heat can irreparably damage the waterproof membrane and PU palm.
