Rab Storm Mitts – Waterproof Insulated Stratus™ Mountain Mitts

Description

The Rab Storm Mitts are technical mittens designed to offer total protection against cold and wet mountain conditions. Their waterproof construction combined with Stratus™ synthetic insulation provides excellent thermal retention even in environments where humidity and snow are constant.

They are intended for alpine activities, winter trekking, and prolonged use in adverse conditions, where keeping hands dry and warm is critical.

Real Technical Performance

The 200 g/m² Stratus™ insulation provides great thermal capacity without compromising moisture management, allowing the body to retain heat while wicking away sweat during exertion.

The Matrix™ softshell outer fabric with DWR treatment and the Porelle® waterproof membrane guarantee protection against rain, snow, and wind. The mitten-type construction maximizes thermal retention compared to traditional gloves.
