Water-resistant yet breathable, this thermal insulated glove uses state-of-the-art TEMRES® technology to keep hands warm, dry, and well-protected in cold climates for optimal comfort and performance. The dark color and durable rough surface hide grime to improve the longevity of the glove when working in outdoor or dirty environments. Its extended cuff with drawcord and side release buckle keep forearms protected from the cold and other hazards. I wore them once to go ice climbing, and they do exactly what they say - keep your hands warm and dry. Like new.
