Mountain Equipment says:
The workhorse of our glove range, providing superb all-round mountaineering performance.
A versatile, warm and waterproof mountaineering glove that combines excellent weather protection and dexterity. A Goatskin leather palm gives a secure grip on an axe or pole and ensures durability for technical mountain use. A single handed drawcord closure easily seals out the elements.
Our Verdict
The Mountain Equipment Guide Gloves balance dexterity, durability and insulation well. At 173 g (Medium), they feel reassuringly solid without excess bulk, with pre-curved fingers that give a natural grip on poles or axes. The goatskin leather palm provides confident handling even when wet, while the Drilite membrane keeps moisture out and wind at bay. Inside, a mix of microfleece and fibre pile offers dependable warmth for active use without sacrificing control.
The cuff seals quickly with a one-handed drawcord and sits neatly under a shell. For general winter walking, climbing, or alpine use, these gloves strike an excellent middle ground between protection, dexterity, and comfort, with a build quality that inspires long-term confidence.
