HANDS

 

There have probably been more new glove designs appeared in the last few years than any other item of equipment. And none of them are perfect! However though the one glove that does everything is some way off existing, some of these new gloves are excellent.

Walking: Whilst having a waterproof glove or mit in your rucksack is probably a good idea in case the weather gets really bad, wearing them when it is not actually raining is not. Like all waterproof clothing, however breathable, sweat build up will occur and this leads to chilling. Consider using instead, wind resistant gloves and save your waterproof ones for downpours.

Climbing: The main secret to having warm hands when ice climbing is to have several pairs of gloves available.

Firstly for walking in to the crag something like a pair of windproof or thick liner gloves so that you do not sweat up your climbing gloves (which will then chill on you as soon as you slow down).

In general, for climbing, mitts are warmer than gloves: however if you have to take your mitt off to place/remove gear and it fills up with snow then your hands will get very cold so it is better to wear a glove that is dextrous enough so that you do not need to take it off. Either an insulated softshell type glove glove, or an insulated waterproof type should suit your purpose, but for long routes or multiple days two pairs are sensible - when one pair becomes wet, ditch them in your sack, pull out a nice cosy dry pair, and be the envy of your climbing partner!

Finally, for warming your hands up at the top of a route and walking out it is hard to beat Buffalo Mitts (very light to carry so the ideal spare mitt) or Dachsteins, and the latter make a good spare climbing mitt if you drop one of your gloves.

An alternative method that also works well is to wear a very thin glove and a big warm mitt. When you need to place gear slide the hand out of the mitt and leave the mitt captive in your axe leash. This is a bit more cumbersome but is probably a better method for anyone who suffers from cold hands.

The BMC site has a useful page on Frostbite.

 



Different manufacturers size gloves differently. Here are:

Terra Nova Sizing.
 

Marmot Sizing.
 

Black Diamond Sizing (scroll down a long way - measurements are in inches).

 





Liner & Lightweight Gloves :
 

Liner gloves are generally neither windproof nor water proof. They are mainly designed to wear as an extra layer of warmth under other mitts or gloves, but are also often used as a lightweight glove in their own right for warm conditions such as alpine glacier approaches.

 



Terra Nova - Thinny Glove

Thinny Glove Stretchy thin liner gloves. Thermalite® Base fabric (95% Polyester, 3% Nylon, 2% Elastane) is lightweight and fast drying as well as offering excellent warmth for its weight. Ideal for active sports such as running or as a base layer in colder conditions. One size fits most. Not waterproof.

Weighs under 40g.

Wind Resistant Gloves & Mitts :
 

Wind resistant gloves and mitts are the ideal wear for most outdoor use on cold days when it is not actually raining. There are two basic types. Gloves and mitts that rely on the weave of the fabric (eg Buffalo, Dachsteins,Soft Shell) which are more breathable but less windproof, and those that rely on a membrane such as Gore Windstopper which are less breathable but more windproof.

 



Outdoor Designs - Kona Grip Convertible

Kona Grip Convertible Windproof fleece glove with leather grip palm and flip over finger mitt.

Polartec® Windbloc® for warmth and windproofing. Leather grip palm for grip and durability. Flip over mitt for extra warmth or to free the fingers for intricate tasks. Box finger construction & low bulk lycra cuff.

Buffalo - DP Mitts

DP Mitts Simple mitts it is true, but incredibly light and effective.

An ideal spare mitt and perfect for warming up cold hands at the top of a long ice pitch. Also great for winter hill walking and ski touring.

Sizing is on the small side and most men would take XL and most women L. XXL is very voluminous and is actually designed as an overmitt to go over a pair of standard Buffalo Mitts.

75g approx.

WARNING: Buffalo is NOT waterproof! Please read how it works above.

Top Tip: To stop these ultralight Buffalo Mitts from blowing away, pierce a small hole at the wrist end and tie a length of 3mm elastic cord through it, then make a loop in the other end of the cord that is slightly larger than your wrist and slightly smaller than your hand. The idea is to end up with about 10cm of cord between the mitt and the loop. When you put the mitt on, stretch the loop over your hand onto your wrist - when you take the mitt off it will simply dangle. If it gets in the way then just pull the elastic loop up above the elbow. If you take the mitts off completely the loops can be used to clip them temporarily to something like a rucksack.

Waterproof Gloves & Mitts :
 

Waterproof gloves or mitts are essential for severe conditions or when climbing ice where the surface is wet.

There are many different types available and our choice veers between those that are the best value but still good, to those that are simply the best. All have been chosen for dexterity and good "feel" and we have become quite ruthless at dropping those from our range that do not meet these criteria.

 



SealSkinz - Sealskinz Ultragrip Waterproof Breathable Glove with Merino Wool

Sealskinz Ultragrip Waterproof Breathable Glove with Merino Wool Lightweight midthermal gloves with a waterproof breathable bonded membrane sandwiched in the between the outer and inner layer. Due to the limitations of the technology the fit is best described as basic, but this is, as far as we know, the only glove of its type and does the job! The waterproof membrane is 100% waterproof and breathable Porelle. Typical WVP 65% Inner glove: 98% merino wool 2% elastane. Outer glove: 98% nylon, 2% lycra with grippy rubber bobbles on fingers and palm.
For guide sizes, measure the hand circumference at the base of the knuckles; 152mm = XS; 185mm = S, 220mm = M; 255mm = L; 280mm = XL. 100g approx.

In short, a fantastic Scottish winter climbing glove, neat-fitting enough to place gear without taking them off, and substantial enough to keep your hands reasonably warm if you don't.

Lackner - Dachstein Mitts

Dachstein Mitts Traditional heavy duty wool mitts, made well oversized and then boiled to shrink to a tough thick woollen felt. As used by Scottish winter climbers, alpinists, and himalayan expeditioneers for over 50 years.

Not waterproof, but when used in snow, an icy skin forms over the mitt which is very effective at keeping hands warm. If you are an impecunious winter climber looking for the one glove that will do everything (as cheaply as possible) then this is about as close as you'll get!
