Vulcan Glove

Glove or mitt? Either would work fine at a... pinch. But why not split the difference? The Vulcan mitt offers a higher level of warmth at a lower level of bulk than a four-fingered glove, without sacrificing any of that vital dexterity.

True mastery of the mitten requires years of dedicated study and nimble-fingered gloves can be on the nippy side in colder conditions. A ‘lobster claw’ design reduces the number of seams and cold spots, doubling up on digit warmth whilst still providing the deftness required to adjust straps, tighten ski-boots and cycle through the gears.

A waterproof membrane and windproof softshell outer guard against immobile, swollen fingers in the cold and wet, and the bemberg lining wicks away any clamminess. Elastic wrist closures and velcro adjusters keep out the drafts and spin-drift.

The pre-curved shape and goatskin leather palms allow you to grip onto ice-axes, poles and your lunch tighter than even the most covetous of crustaceans.
