Ergo Grip OutDry Long Glove $210

-

The Ergo Grip Outdry Long is a balance between protection from the elements and dexter ity. Ice and alpine climbers are often taking their gloves off to fumble around with locking carabiners and knots. Hestra has constructe­d a high-end glove which promises to give the climber the option to keep gloves on for important tasks. They feature Hestra Handcuff wrist attachment­s and adjustable cuff closure for those deep snow or wet ice climb moments.

This glove is for mountainee­rs, alpine and ice climbers who are in moderately cold temperatur­es. The finger cut is narrow which allows a high range of motion, but it also means that cold temps could be an issue and people with thick fingers might find them tight. The sacr ifice of a fully warm glove for more dexter ity is worth it, especially consider ing most winter climbers br ing at least two pairs of gloves with them.
