MOUNTAINEERING<br />

Our Mountaineering collection consists of highly<br />

functional gloves that live up to climbers’ tough demands<br />

for unrestricted feeling and durability, year round. Several<br />

of the warmer models have detachable wool liners that can<br />

be washed and replaced. This means that these gloves can<br />

be adapted to varying weather conditions and uses.<br />

3Tips from<br />

1. Agile fingers<br />

Even if you climb when it’s really<br />

cold, it is important that your<br />

fingers can move smoothly.<br />

A stiff glove makes you lose<br />

energy.<br />

2. The right materials<br />

It’s good to strike a balance<br />

be tween highly functional<br />

and warm materials. A glove<br />

must deal with both fine motor<br />

movements and be durable.<br />

3. Good grip<br />

with ice axes, carabiners and<br />

other equipment.<br />
