The First Ascent Guide Team's favorite gloves. They wear them guiding, ski patrolling and ice climbing. No wonder. The Pittards® leather is the highest-quality available anywhere--water-repellent and highly abrasion-resistant. The ultrafine merino wool-blend lining and PrimaLoft® insulation keep your fingers warm.

These gloves are super warm, fit well, are comfortable, and sturdy. One small feature would make them even better: adding a loop so the gloves can be quickly and easily clipped to a carabiner while walking.

While the gloves are very warm and allow great dexterity, they get wet very easily--especially in the wet snow of California's Sierras. If it's going to snow when I'm on a backcountry ski trip, I dont even bring these gloves anymore. I'm a little disappointed in their performance.

Great gloves. I've worn them in temps down to the low teens with my hands and fingers not being cold at all. For the price I don't think you can do better and I expect to get years of use out of them. Highly recommend.

This glove lives up to the hype. Super warm and I love the merino wool lining. The palms look like new even after a few flesh melting rappels. Added bonus is the low profile cuff - it fits under or over every layer I've tried it with without bunching up or constricting. Keep up the good work!

Purchased as a gift for mountaineer/teleskiing bf. He LOVES them and has given them much wear this winter doing both activities. They fit well, keep his fingers warm, and look great. I will buy another pair if they ever wear out.

I have a number of cold weather gloves. These are definitely my glove of choice when needing to do anything in cold weather, particularly when dexterity is required. Great all around glove and there's no doubt in my mind that these gloves will pass the test of time.

These things are supple. From the first time i put the gloves on, they felt like they molded to my hands. I'm using them for skiing so threw some snoseal for some additional protection. The leather maintains its dexterity too. The boys at whittaker knew what they were doing when they brought these in. Thanks!
