Mountain Equipment Randonee Gauntlet

When facing frozen rocks and high-altitude cold, gloves must provide steadfast protection against the elements. Dexterity for handling gear and navigating terrain is critical on rugged alpine and winter routes, and sufficient insulation is needed to keep hands warm. No compromises here.

Preferred by Mountain Equipment's Pro Team, the Randonee Gauntlet has proven itself on the world's most challenging mountain routes and harsh winter lines. It combines the responsiveness needed for climbing with breathable comfort and protection for extended use, and it is designed for alpinists tackling difficult objectives in severe conditions.

Pre-curved and articulated fingers and thumbs enhance technical climbing and ropework dexterity, reducing hand and arm fatigue. A Pittards® Armortan® Goatskin leather palm ensures durability for long descents and heavy use, offering a good grip on axes and poles.

The highly water-resistant, stretch-woven Soft Shell back guards against snow and rain, while the extended length provides extra wrist coverage, sealing out harsh winds and snow. With a full fibre pile synthetic lining for warmth and quick drying, the Randonee Gauntlet offers unmatched breathability and dexterity. This combination of protection, talent, and rapid dry times makes it essential for alpinists and mountaineers on multi-day expeditions.
