Good gloves do their job without complaint. The Pro Wool does more.

Three layers work together in a proven system. The outer knit resists wear and stretches when you need movement. A seamless waterproof membrane sits in the middle. Water stays out, but air moves through, so your hands can breathe. The merino wool liner against your skin provides warmth even when wet and naturally resists odor. This matters on the third day of a trip or when you're hours from the trailhead with no way to wash up.

Silicone grips pattern the palms and fingers for secure handling on wet rocks, paddle grips, and cold metal. The touchscreen-compatible fingertips work reliably, so you can check the map or take a photo without exposing your hands.
