Mountaineering Gloves: the best allies against the cold

Essential accessories that accompany you during the winter and intermediate season, in all sports activities, and especially for mountaineering.
The mountaineering gloves protect from the cold, wind and snow and are made of sturdy fabrics, with reinforcements at strategic points. They are gloves similar to those for skiing and some of them have Velcro and a lighter inner glove that keeps your hands warm. In order not to make a mistake in your choice, do not forget that mountaineering is an activity that is practiced both in summer and in winter. The ideal is therefore to take gloves that allow the use of lighter under-gloves to maintain the ideal temperature. In addition, we add that mountaineering gloves must ensure sensitivity to touch, handling and grip on the palm and fingers for greater resistance to abrasion. In summary, the characteristics of a good pair of mountaineering gloves are:

• waterproof : the waterproof fabric keeps the skin dry, even when in contact with water or snow
• resistant : a technical glove guarantees resistance to tears and impacts because during outdoor activities the hands can be subjected to the stress of impacts and friction on abrasive surfaces
• padded : because they must retain heat and insulate from the external cold
• breathable : because the sweat caused by the activity carried out must be disposed of towards the outside
