Made for demanding winter tours

When you're venturing into icy heights, you need a glove you can rely on in any situation. This alpine winter glove with a goatskin leather lining combines maximum dexterity with dependable warmth, offering remarkably precise grip – whether you're using crampons, engaging in mixed climbing, or belaying on ice. This climbing glove feels like a second skin and was designed precisely for those tours where you don't want to choose between warmth and control.

High wearing comfort meets functional design

The combination of EXOLITE softshell material and PrimaLoft® Gold insulation makes this glove the perfect all-rounder for winter outdoor activities. The material is abrasion-resistant, windproof, quick-drying, and keeps fingers comfortably warm. The water-repellent goatskin palm remains grippy – even when wet – ensuring secure handling of ice axes, ropes, or carabiners. The recycled microfleece lining feels comfortable against the skin and complements the technical warmth with its cozy softness.

Slim cuff for optimal freedom of movement

The split, close-fitting cuff makes the glove easy to put on and take off, even in cold weather. It fits easily under a jacket or over a baselayer. Thanks to its sporty cut, the glove hugs your hand perfectly – without feeling restrictive. Whether you need a precise grip while ice climbing or want to quickly brush off a layer of snow while winter hiking, this glove can handle it all.

What's behind the materials?

EXOLITE Softshell
EXOLITE material was specially developed for demanding alpine use. Its double weave makes it particularly resistant to abrasion, contact with rocks, and sharp objects. At the same time, the smooth outer surface ensures low friction – for example, when carrying trekking poles or ice axes. The inner surface is pleasantly soft and provides excellent comfort – even during multi-day expeditions.

PrimaLoft® Gold Insulation
This high-end synthetic insulation offers an excellent warmth-to-weight ratio. It efficiently retains body heat without adding bulk. At the same time, it's water-repellent and dries quickly should your tour turn out to be wetter than expected. PrimaLoft® stays warm even when wet – a real advantage over natural down in gloves.

Conclusion for your next winter adventure
