UOG TOP PICK – Windjammer Lite Gloves Montane Windjammer Lite Gloves with GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® stretch softshell. Perfect for a range of outdoor activities. They are lightweight and protective, pack down small, one of our top picks

Montane says: 

Constructed from GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® stretch softshell fabric with a fast-drying soft microfleece backer, the Windjammer Lite Gloves are windproof, breathable and extremely dextrous. A leather reinfornced palm makes them ideal for a range of outdoor activities.

Our Verdict

As the name suggests, these gloves do an outstanding job of blocking the wind; they are well-constructed from good-quality materials and are an excellent fit. They are not the warmest gloves, but you could get a thin insulating glove underneath or a mitt over the top if you are going to use this in very cold conditions.

They are very dextrous, and the goat leather palm gripped my tracking poles well; I did a good deal of scrambling with them on, and they have held up well.

If you are navigating with a phone, the touch screen functions would be adequate, but texting would be frustrating as they are not very accurate.
