Marmot 'Glade' Glove review

Marmot are top of their game when it comes to their technical clothing range.
They incorporate technology with function and fashion.


When these came to me, I wasn't unimpressed. As soon as you look at them you know they mean business! The instant warmth you can feel once your hand is inside the glove is very welcoming, and knowing that your hands won't get wet is an added bonus.
They are used mostly on the mountains, but are equally just at home on a winters walk through the park.

They feel soft to the touch and the fleece lining has a high loft so it keeps in your heat, BUT, the best idea here, is the little pocket on the front of the gloves, which is intended for use with hand warmer bags that you can insert for added warmth! Very clever!

'Falcon grip' is extremely grippy, and actually works better in the wet, as it is very soft and supple rubber Marmot use on the palm of the glove.

They boast a 'MemBrain®' waterproof insert, durable SpirafFil insulation, and DriClime® lining. The Glade Glove is unbeatable value in high-performance snow gear. Falcon grip means no lost poles, and a safety leash means no lost gloves.
