Rent gloves – protection & warmth for outdoor activities

Protection and grip in all weather conditions and every adventure

Gloves are an often underestimated part of outdoor gear – yet in many situations, they determine comfort, safety, and warmth. Whether it's a winter hike, a mountain tour, a via ferrata, a late autumn trek, or a bikepacking stage in the rain: the right gloves protect you from cold, wind, wetness, and rough surfaces. At Eddy's Adventure, you can flexibly rent or borrow high-quality gloves and test them out directly outdoors. With the "rent first, buy if you like it" principle, you can find out risk-free which model is ideal for your adventures.

Why gloves are indispensable outdoors

Weather, temperature, and activity levels change rapidly. Cold fingers not only affect comfort but also safety – for example, when using trekking poles, climbing, setting up a tent, or cooking at camp. Gloves also protect you from abrasion and injuries on challenging trails, via ferratas, or alpine expeditions. Renting gloves allows you to determine whether you need lightweight, windproof models, warm winter gloves, or robust climbing gloves.

Which gloves you can find at Eddy's Adventure

The product range includes various glove models for different applications.
This includes warm, well-insulated winter gloves for cold trekking or winter tours, windproof models for fast hikes or bikepacking stages, and robust leather and hybrid gloves, which are particularly useful for via ferrata climbing or belaying. Brands like Black Diamond and Petzl stand for reliable materials, good grip, and durable construction. All gloves are cleaned, inspected, and ready for immediate use.

Which equipment ideally complements gloves

Warm gloves work best when combined with an insulating outdoor jacket and a reliable hat – this keeps your entire system warm.
For alpine tours, via ferrata sets, harnesses or robust backpacks complement the protective properties particularly well.
A winter touring setup includes gloves, warm sleeping bags and a well-insulating sleeping mat to ensure you are comfortable even in cold temperatures.
For trekking or hiking in changeable weather, a combination of softshell or rainwear is worthwhile so that you can always keep your hands dry.

Choosing the right gloves depends heavily on your tour, the temperature, and the intended use.
