The latest report from our special agent Oliver at the recent
Friedrichshafen Show has just arrived by stealth carrier pigeon and
the hot news is that Rab is introducing eVENT-lined
gloves right about now for use this winter.
We reckon eVENT is the most breathable conventional waterproof
fabric out there, so it'll be interesting to see how it performs as a
glove liner. Oliver takes up the story....
Rab to cover fingers and hand
Rab has just introduced two "bling" eVENT gloves as part of its
new range of, erm... hand insulation devices. Aside from
featuring a very breathable waterproof insert, the Ice
Gauntlet includes Primaloft insulation, while the more modest
Latok Glove has a fleece lining. These both feature
Pittard's Armortan palms and elasticised cuffs which can also be
found on a Primaloft lined softshell gauntlet by the name of
Baltoro.
Talk to the hand …the not so
chivalrous Ice Gauntlet.
The devil makes work for idle
hands. Enticingly like something a space-age ninja would wear,
with its sticky red silicon palm, Neil McAidie tried his best to keep
the Latok Gloves out of reach!
The range is completed by three Polartec fleece designs: a Windpro
glove with silicon grip; a sticky Powerstretch glove and a plain
Powerstretch liner glove.
Available in the stores from the 1 September. Click here. More glove
details at www.rab.uk.com
or run down to your local Rab stockist for a test grope!
Gaiters Later...
In March more Rab accessorising will take place when they will
release four new eVENT gaiters, the first gaiters available in the UK
made of that fabric. More images are available on their
website.
