They are an excellent choice to pair with trekking poles as they are reinforced around the thumb, a superb winter glove.
The Vapour-Rise Glove is a lightweight glove that uses Rab's Vapour-Rise technology to increase breathability and all-round performance.
Rab says
The Vapour-rise™ Glove is a dextrous and lightweight glove for active use. Made from the highly breathable Matrix™ fabric, it quickly wicks moisture and sweat on long or intense walk-ins.
With high levels of breathability and excellent wind and weather resistance, the Vapour-rise™ Glove is best suited to cool, dry conditions. Made with a breathable Matrix™ stretch nylon outer, a wicking Bemberg lining, and durable leather palm, the Vapour-rise™ Glove is appropriate for a wide range of activities. With a touchscreen compatible finger and thumb, it is also well-suited to everyday use as well.
Our Verdict
If you're a fan of Rab's Vapour-Rise range you'll love Rab's Vapour-Rise Gloves, they take the concept of breathable insulation with some weather protection and turn it into a functional glove. There's a lot of leather on this glove which means it's going to last for many years in the areas that will see a lot of friction. This aspect makes these gloves perfect for walking long distances with trekking poles.
