The Outdoor Research waterproof and breathable Alpine Alibi Gloves for Men are made with X-TRAFIT technology and stretch soft shell construction to provide excellent dexterity. Nimble hand-to-tool contact is enhanced through this construction allowing the glove to smoothly conform to the shape of your hand. EnduraLoft insulation on the back of hand and thumb and heat pack pockets at the wrists and back of hand provide warmth when temps hover at freezing and the day stretches from sunrise to sunset. The leather palm wraps around the thumb and up the index finger sidewall to provide tough abrasion resistance and solid grip when handling ropes for the belay and repel. With added features like a secure wrist cinch for a no-slip fit and protective padding on finger knuckles, this glove is ideal for long alpine ice ascents.

Outstanding cold weather climbing glove
There is a natural trade off between warmth and dexterity. This glove balances the two well. Additional warmth is gained from the application of hand heaters and vigorous climbing. They are warm enough to keep on while belaying, instead of switching to mitts. I had no problem setting screws, building anchors and haul systems. I would love to be able to use the Alibi II, but they are out of the question for many north east winter days.
