This versatile glove works brilliantly as a liner for shell gloves or mitts, but is also great on its own in milder conditions. The Rab Merino+ 160 Glove is quick drying and superbly comfortable.
These gloves combine the best properties of Merino wool and synthetic fibres, to create a wicking, breathable, temperature regulating and odour beating winter gem. They're ideal for year round use, being light and packable and ready to go as soon as the temperature starts to drop. They make perfect layering gloves and work well with thicker gloves or mitts, but in dry cold conditions they perform excellently as stand alone activity gloves, that are great for trail running, hiking and backpacking.
Rab's unique Merino +™ fabric (Replaces MeCo products in the Rab range), is created using a combination of superfine Merino wool and polyester with 37.5™ Technology.
Merino wool is a wonder fabric, being very soft against the skin and is superb at regulating temperature. This means it's comfortable in the heat and in the cold. It is 100% natural and sustainable, unlike the petroleum based synthetic fibres used in other base layer garments. It is also quick drying and naturally odour resistant, making it the perfect choice for extended backpacking trips, where laundry facitlities may be few and far between.
With Rab's Merino+, the addition of Polyester fibres hugely improves thedurability of the wool and helps keep the garments shape. Combined with 37.5™ Technology, you have an amazing baselayer fabric with Merino+, that not only regulates temperature and resists odour, but also moves moisture more effectively and has more longevity than a pure wool.
