The Rab Guide GTX Gloves are more versatile than your average ski glove or climbing glove. Designed for ski descents and climb ascents, the Guide GTX gives rugged waterproof weather protection with enhanced breathability for staying active in the alpine. There's more PrimaLoft Gold insulation at the back of hand to enhance the palm's dexterity while grabbing poles or axes. Rab added goatskin leather at the palm for a greater grip as well.
