Light, breathable, and highly dextrous, the Rab VR Gloves hit a delicate balance between warmth and ventilation for active use in cold, dry conditions.

Rab says: 

Lightweight, highly dexterous softshell gloves for alpine climbing and active mountain use. Made with breathable, windproof Vapour-Rise™ technology, it deflects stubborn winds while wicking away sweat on long walk-ins and ski tours.

Our Verdict

Weighing 90 g (Medium), these gloves use Rab’s Vapour-Rise system, pairing a breathable Matrix softshell exterior with a wicking Bemberg lining. The result is steady temperature regulation during high-output activity, keeping hands dry and comfortable without the clammy feel that often comes with fully windproof shells. They are warm enough for moderate cold, though biting wind or deep winter conditions will push their limits.

Dexterity is excellent, with a slim fit that allows for easy gripping of poles or adjusting gear. The leather palm provides a reassuring grip and durability, although care is required to maintain flexibility over time. Touchscreen panels are functional for basic phone use. Overall, the VR Gloves remain a dependable choice for fast-paced mountain use where breathability and control are most important.
