A named GORE-TEX membrane with no published mm figure is the top waterproofing band (a sealed insert from a named membrane maker). Trekmates lists the GORE-TEX technology as 'durably waterproof, windproof and breathable', with an insert of 62% ePTFE and 38% polyamide.
In short
Good for
- Winter hillwalking and snow days that need a gauntlet-style cuff and a drawcord
- Using a phone with the gloves on (touchscreen forefinger)
Strengths
- GORE-TEX insert with a DWR polyamide outer, for waterproof and windproof protection
- 80 g polyester hollow fibre insulation and a brushed microfleece lining
- PU leather palm, pre-curved fingers and a touchscreen-compatible forefinger
- Drawcord at the cuff and an elasticated wrist with a tether loop
Weaknesses
- Trekmates publishes no weight, so there is no weight score (The Great Outdoors weighed 122 g for size M)
- Only one independent review found, so warmth, dexterity and durability scores are blank
- The insulation is unbranded and The Great Outdoors says it isn't up with PrimaLoft
- Earlier Chamonix listings at other shops carry different barcodes: check the product code before buying
