Outdoor Research’s Ouray Ice Glove gives you the protection you need from the biting cold while still being agile enough to drill an ice screw and clip a carabiner.
This women-specific glove was outfitted with Gore-Tex Xtrafit, this glove shears wind and water right off the shell while you’re throwing out a figure four as you work a crux section of overhung mixed ice climbing.
Meanwhile, Aerogel insulation situated over the palm retains heat and reduces the chance of cold spots appearing in the glove so your hands can stay nice and toasty warm. Built with a pre-curved construction, the gloves are naturally ready to wrap around an ice tool to maximize energy efficiency; this way you’re not fighting against the glove to hold onto your tools as you’re already fending off pumped arms when you near the top.
