Created specifically for mountaineering but suitable for skiing, snowboarding and winter backpacking, the Outdoor Research Glacier Mitts™ emphasize full hand protection with a durable, waterproof and breathable shell attached to a warm and breathable performance liner. Textured rubber palm for gripping slick objects like ice axes (even when wet). Glacier Mitt™ - The Outdoor Research Glacier Mitts™ are similar in design to the Outdoor Research Summit Mitts™, but the Glacier gives up a few features to deliver more insulation in the form of a plush and removable 300-weight fleece liner. These mitts are the ideal solution for perpetually chilled fingers, especially if you plan on spending a day or two away from the nearest permanent warm shelter. Special AlpenGrip® LT friction tabs and strong Velcro® anchor points along the top and bottom of the wrist keep the liner from bunching or slipping inside the shell.
