Purpose-built for handling ropes, gear, and technical terrain, it bridges the gap between a lightweight liner and a full winter mitt. A mid-weight, mid season glove designed for th e "approach" phase of climbing, alpine, hiking, scrambling, and technical rope work you do getting to and moving through a route. Precision Where It CountsA split-finger design isolates the index finger for precise rope handling, belay device management, and gear manipulation, while a pre-curved palm keeps your hand in a natural, relaxed grip position reducing fatigue on long approaches and multi-pitch days. Built to LastA full grain leather palm delivers exceptional abrasion resistance and rope feel, with reinforced fingertips standing up to repeated contact with rock, hardware, and rope friction. This is a glove made to work hard, pitch after pitch. Weather-ReadyThe waterproof softshell shell uses a PFAS-free DWR finish to shed snow, sleet, and damp conditions without compromising breathability keeping your hands dry and mobile as conditions shift. A secure neoprene cuff seals out the elements and layers cleanly under a jacket cuff. Warm, Not BulkyA soft brushed interior lining adds warmth exactly where you need it, without adding bulk that compromises grip or dexterity. Ideal for that mid-season window where a heavyweight glove is overkill but bare hands aren't an option. Show more
