Rab VR Gloves – Technical Softshell Gloves with Leather Palm for Mountain Use

Description

The Rab VR Gloves are technical gloves designed for mountain activities in cold and variable conditions, where a balance between protection, breathability, and dexterity is needed. Their construction combines wind-resistant softshell fabric with a leather palm, offering a secure grip and durability for intensive use.

They are a very versatile option for light alpinism, ski touring, and cold-weather trekking, where sweat management and mobility are as important as thermal protection.

Real Technical Performance

Thanks to Vapour-Rise™ technology, these gloves effectively manage moisture during exertion, wicking away sweat and keeping hands dry. The outer Matrix™ softshell fabric protects against wind and light inclement weather, while the inner lining provides thermal comfort without compromising sensitivity.

The goat leather palm improves grip on rock, poles, or technical equipment, increasing durability in high-wear areas.
