Tackling the extreme weather that comes with high terrain requires exceptional clothing designed to ensure you do not fall foul of the weather. Take these Marmot Men’s Caldera Gloves as an example – their superb thermal, breathable & waterproof qualities make them a crucial part of any mountaineer’s kit. The waterproof & breathable Mem Brain fabric used to create the outer shell & inserts, combined with the Spirafil insulation & the super-soft highloft fleece lining produce a great fit with flexibility & the warmth to ensure your extremities do not suffer during periods of extreme cold. They are rated between -7 & -18 Centigrade. But if this combination of materials & insulation does not fight off the cold to your liking, these gloves have heater pockets too to help provide additional warmth when you need it most. The falcon grip provides ample dexterity, the soft wipe along the thumb is perfect for a runny nose, the safety leash ensures the gloves remain attached to your wrists at all times so you don’t lose them, & they are adjustable around the wrists to help contain warm air inside the gloves.
