Trekmates Dry Classic Glove 2012

£25.00

There are a lot of gloves around the £25 to £30 price range, but the Trekmates Dry Classic Glove has a slight edge over some of them. It benefits from a waterproof lining and a good fit, which makes it reasonably dexterous. The palm is also a little more grippy than some, thanks to a textured finish. When you put ...

Berghaus Out There 2009

£40.00

The Berghaus Out There is a good general glove with a Gore-Tex waterproof lining to guarantee dry hands. There’s synthetic reinforcement on the palm and also the fingertips. The fit is fairly close with a wide webbing buckle locking the glove in place, while a drawcord closes down the cuff. There’s reflective piping too for night action. It has a ...

Mountain Equipment Guide 2009

£40.00

There is a very good pre-curved profile to Mountain Equipment Guide gloves that make them very comfortable, while the fleece lining makes them reasonably warm too. You get a waterproof lining, and this is protected by a leather palm. I found the fit nice and close, and slightly more dexterous than similarly priced options. The wrist cuff is quite short ...

The design is fairly standard with a straight shaft. The new ‘Light’ version does not have a rubber grip or leash fitted, but on closer inspection the details stack up very ...

Extremities Tough Bag

£35.00

This is a shell without a warm lining, which means you can combine it with other liner mitts or gloves easily. It is made from Gore-Tex XCR, which is rated as extremely breathable and extremely waterproof so you won’t get better performance from anything else. The wrist ladder lock webbing strap means you get a close fit while the cuff ...

Sealskinz Winter Mittens

Reinforced palm; nose wipe; Velcro wrist adjustment; short cuff fits under waterproofs better than other mitts with larger cuffs; stunning price. But quite a short cuff, so you don’t get the wrist protection offered by others; no removable liner.

Black Diamond Glissade

£40.00

This is a very close-fitting winter glove that offers a higher level of freedom of movement and a closer fit than most. What is very noticeable is the thumb profile, which really enhances dexterity and fit. The glove has a long, narrow gauntlet that can be worn inside the cuff of your waterproof jacket. Elastication at the wrist plus a ...

Mountain Equipment Guide GTX

£40.00

These winter gloves feature  a Gore-Tex waterproof lining; elasticated wrist and drawcord cuff; nose wipe; polyester pile lining; stretch fabric on back of hand for closer fit; reinforced palm; exceptionally close fit; wrist leash; narrow cuff fits under jacket sleeves easily. But the fit was too close for me, making them difficult to get on and reducing ease of movement.
