Touchscreen-capable 0.8mm synthetic leather palm enables seamless interaction with devices without removing gloves. 6. Vented palm heel padding offers protection against light strikes and vibrations while enhancing breathability. 7. Lightweight thermoplastic resin (TPR) hook and loop closure ensures a secure, adjustable fit for all-day wear.

    Expert Review

    These are my favorite gloves on adventures with extended scrambling and bushwacking. While not ideal for technical climbing, they protect my hands from sharp edges, thorns, briars, etc. When paired with a liner glove, they are even surprisingly warm as a robust outer shell.
