Rab Baltoro Gloves – Softshell Gloves for Climbing & Mountaineering | Black, Medium

Balanced warmth and mobility for alpine days

When your challenge demands both dexterity and shelter from the cold, Rab Baltoro Gloves deliver a thoughtful softshell solution. The breathable fabric and light insulation are designed to keep you comfortable during alpine ascents, spring ski runs, or year‑round mountaineering in dry conditions. The glove pair aims to balance a snug fit with enough movement to grip poles, axes, and hardware without fuss.

Softshell performance you can feel

The Matrix Softshell uses a double‑weave stretch blend that offers excellent dexterity while remaining durable enough to handle rugged terrain. A fluorocarbon‑free DWR finish adds water resistance, helping shed light snow and spindrift while you stay in control of your pace and positioning.

Warmth where it counts

PrimaLoft Gold insulation provides high loft at the back of the hand, delivering warmth without adding unnecessary bulk. The result is a glove that stays pliable for grip and manipulation even as the temperature dips or the wind picks up.

Grip, dexterity, and a secure fit

The goat leather palm ensures a reliable hold on poles and axes, while a precurved 3D design supports precise handling. A dual pull cord lock lets you tailor the cuff for a secure seal against cold air or blowing snow.
