Outdoor Research Splitter Gloves

These minimalist gloves are ultra-lightweight and ultratactile, keeping you protected so you can climb all day long.

PURSUIT OF PASSION

In 1981, a brilliant scientist and adventurer named Ron Gregg watched his frostbitten partner get airlifted off a glacier on Denali. He'd spent months planning a new route in the purest style, skiing 100 miles from the road to the base of the climb. Barely halfway to the summit, their trip ended with the failure of a simple pair of gaiters. Stubborn to the end, Ron refused a seat on the helicopter and descended alone for two weeks, pondering what had happened. Somewhere along the way, he realized he could both fix the gear problem and devote his life to pursuing his passion for adventure. By the end, he knew one thing for sure: He wasn't going back to his old job.

User questions & answers

Question:	For a girl that's 11 years old with relatively small hands, would you recommend a size small or extra-small
Answer:	Don't know. But very light warm and comfortable .
Question:	Good for hiking poles or too thin to protect from blisters
Answer:	Imitation fur lining
Question:	Why do these reviews seem to be for arm sleeves when these are fingerless gloves
Answer:	9 inches wide, 25 inch length.
Question:	is this sized for women, men, kids, or unisex
Answer:	I am 175 pounds and I used what the charts said when I bought them. I like them but I also found they do not always have adequate surface area causing yourself to fall through the snow a lot more than I would have liked. I DO still use them but when I buy a new pair later on I will make sure that the surface area is enlarged.
Question:	How much does the pair weigh
Answer:	I ended up getting the short ones for speed and weight but I am a little to big for them. If you're 105lb the ratings on the snow shoes should be true size.

The award-winning Mixalot Gloves of days past are making a comeback - this time, with even more refined features and functional details built for the ice, dry, and mixed climber. The Mixalot Gloves won over climbers for their ultra-tactile, single-layer construction that provided a close fit and high sensitivity, so we haven't changed a thing in that regard. Instead, we focused on the finer details like the sculpted neoprene cuff, protective overlays on critical seams, and a raised heat transfer logo. The Mixalot is the first glove to hit the outdoor market utilizing Pittards Gripster Sheep Leather - commonly used in tactile golf gloves. This palm leather is a mixed tooler's dream, gaining more grip and covering more surface area of the hand when wet from ice, water, or even perspiration. The back of hand still dons a GORE WINDSTOPPER soft shell for cold pitches with ice chilled wind. You'll find a new enhanced range of motion via the tool-specific 3-finger articulation, as well as stretch and freedom of moment like you've never felt before. For hard mixed days and challenging ice pitches, reach no further than the Mixalot Gloves.

Product description

Outdoor Research's Ouray Ice Glove gives you the protection you need from the biting cold while still being agile enough to drill an ice screw and clip a carabiner. This women-specific glove was made to combat the screaming barfies when you're climbing vertical pillars of ice. Outfitted with Gore-Tex Xtrafit, this glove shears wind and water right off the shell while you're throwing out a figure four as you work a crux section of overhung mixed ice climbing. Meanwhile, Aerogel insulation situated over the palm retains heat and reduces the chance of cold spots appearing in the glove so your hands can stay nice and toasty warm. Built with a pre-curved construction, the gloves are naturally ready to wrap around an ice tool to maximize energy efficiency; this way you're not fighting against the glove to hold onto your tools as you're already fending off pumped arms when you near the top.

• Insulation: [lining] 100% polyester microfleece, [palm] Primaloft Aerogel (1.5mm)
