Designed to give you waterproof protection and keep out the chill, Haline gloves were dreamt up with fast and light alpinism and ski-touring in mind. With a waterproof insert, they come in handy in UK conditions too!
Haline has a close fit, with pre-curved fingers and a supple yet highly grippy goatskin leather palm that make them hugely dexterous. (I'm wearing them to type and they passed the 'can-I-tie-my-shoelaces' test). This helps you to avoid the on-again, off-again when you’re doing something a little more fiddly, ideal for more technical mixed climbing. The cuff is low-profile enough to fit under your jacket too, giving you freedom to move.
Haline’s waterproof insert keeps your hands dry if the weather turns foul or you plunge them into the snow. The lining fabric is Bemberg cupro: a soft, high-wicking, breathable, insulating, and soft cotton-based fabric, ideal for medium activity levels on chilly Alpine summer days. (We know we said ‘soft’ twice, but it really feels amazing next to your skin!)
When you do need to de-glove, you can attach your Haline gloves to yourself with the carabiner loops, so that they don't run off without you!

The better you look after these gloves, the better they’ll look after you! To clean, handwash (no pun intended) in lukewarm water using a mild liquid detergent, allow to air dry. Do not dry on radiators.
