Product Insights & Style Tips

From skintrack transitions to summit pushes, the Rab Guide GTX Gloves are built for high-output winter missions where protection and dexterity matter. Back-of-hand PrimaLoft Gold insulation and GORE-TEX Active technology keep hands warm and dry without sacrificing grip or mobility. A goat leather palm adds durability and grip for ice tools and ski poles, while digital leather reinforcements hold up to high-wear zones. The short cuff slips easily under jackets, and the pre-curved fit enhances comfort on extended days in the cold.

Dual pull cord adjustment seals out drafts and a fleece-lined interior adds soft warmth. The gloves pair with a 95 percent nylon and 5 percent elastane face fabric, a goat leather palm, 100 percent polyester lining, and a 100 percent recycled nylon insert for durability and stretch. Waterproofing comes from GORE-TEX Active in a 2-layer setup and insulation from PrimaLoft Gold, both chosen for reliable warmth and dry hands on long ascents and descents. This undercuff style moves with you, layering under a shell and keeping grip steady on ice tools and ski poles.

Rab's Responsible Collection highlights recycled and repurposed materials, aligning performance with a thoughtful footprint. The Guide GTX Glove stands up to basecamp to peak moments with warmth, dryness, and grip that stay dependable when the weather gets serious.
