Hestra
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.
