IFMGA Mountain Guide Silas Rossi gives some insight into choosing the best gloves for your next ice or alpine adventure. - Спорт
Hey Silas, love all your videos, it’s really cool to see an ifmga guide making some content! Could you make a video talking about your favorite ropes and rope systems for your day to day guiding. It would also be cool to see your full rope quiver that you’ve put together over the years. Thanks!
Great overview. Thanks for posting.
Awesome Silas! Thank you!
Crab fishing gloves. Brilliant! Getting me a pair, or two. Thanks, Silas.
Just picked up two pairs of the Showa 282 Temres gloves from Go2marine. They now make them in black, and with cinch gauntlets (I think they listened to ice climbers).
@@islander511 good tip. I just ordered a pair. (Sidenote, go2Marine has a $10 off coupon for new customers for orders over $50, so if you get two pairs of these gloves plus something else that's small that covers here $50.)
Excellent video, good reminder to probably bring more than you think you need.
Great video. Have you ever considered hestra gloves with gore-tex?
I usually use 3 pairs dependening on temps and conditions. I have a simple mechanix fast fit for walking in warmer not wet conditions that protects my skin from the wind (I always put it between my base layer and softshell when Im not wearing it to keep it warm and dry) and a bd torque for the climbing plus and emergency glove if it gets colder (it's an off brand, cheap, light, warm but not very waterproof one that I keep in my pack). If it's colder I use the bd torque instead of the mechanix and dump the cheap one for a goretex trek mates one and use that for climbing and the torque for the walking and I use a down mitt for the emergency glove that stays in my pack. (down is cheap in my country because we are one of the largest down exporters on the planet so off brand down is cheap and very good quality here).
Thanks that was useful 👍
Cool tips with the temres glove! I need to find a good pair for my XS hands. I freeze too easy on my hands
Good overview of a potentially complex and very personal topic. I would say, be prepared to buy and try a lot of gloves to find the ones that work for you. I would say tight fitting is good for single-layer (fleece) gloves, but with any layers of insulation, go loose for warmth and dexterity/flexibility. My challenge is that I apparently have 2XL+ hands, and most brands ignore that market. Those that make 2XL (size 12 comes close) usually have short, stubby, medium size fingers. Why?! Those that come with liners feel a size smaller and too tight and too stiff to comfortably grip an ice tool. I agree with having a variety of gloves for different conditions and uses. Single layer fleece provide great flexibility for grip, can be put on with damp hands, and provide some warmth. Mittens (even just mitten liners) are my go-to hand warmers. And currently, my cold weather beefy glove is a Mountain Equipment 2XL, although the fingers are also a little short. But roomy enough for grip flexibility. For serious but temporary dexterity, just remove the gloves. Good hunting for what works best for you! Thanks, Silas!
Look at working gloves. Alot of modern work wear is outdoor wear, but in large quantities = cheaper. I have a waterproof working glove with fleece inside, then membrane and leather in the palm. Protective fabric on the back hand and upper side of fingers. Works great and less than $20.
I use my old climbing gloves for work in the winter. (I install telecommunication hardware on towers). What is the brand of your glove?
@@aron7548 Swedish brand Ejendahls.
Have you ever seen or used Free The Powder gloves? I’ve just picked up a pair this season and so far they are awesome. Removable liner is great and solid shell. About half the price of the big name brands! Check them out.
How warm are the black daimond guide gloves? You called it a system glove?
System gloves are multi-layer gloves, so a tough and often waterproof outer glove combined with a separate warm fleece or softshell inner glove that you wear inside the outer glove.
