Outdoor Research Arete Gloves for Men.
The Outdoor Research Arete Gloves for Men are a great choice for your outdoor excursions in the cold and harsh climates. A high-quality Nylon Oxford Dobby Nylon Shell keeps your hands comfortable while the Gore-Tex inserts make these gloves waterproof. A grippy palm also helps your palms stay dry and makes it easy to grip ropes and other equipment. This polyester fleece liner works exceptionally well to give you warmth under the shell or can be used alone when the conditions are lighter. There are long gauntlets with drawcord cinches to help you fit these gloves to your hands properly. The gloves weigh just 7.5 oz. and are ideal to take on your trips, vacations, or weekend adventures. For extreme winter protection for your hands, get the Outdoor Research Arete Gloves for Men.
The Outdoor Research Men's Arete Glove. Our best selling glove, this modular handwear system is ideal for extended backcountry adventures with uncompromising versatility, waterproof protection, and durability.
The Outdoor Research Men's Arete Glove uses a versatile layering concept to provide the appropriate level of hand protection in varying conditions. When conditions are frigid or foul, the nylon shell with a waterproof and windproof Gore-Tex membrane protects against moisture and windchill, and the polyester fleece liner provides insulating warmth and moisture-wicking comfort. If conditions are less extreme or you're working up a sweat while engaging in higher-intensity activities, you can wear the removable fleece liner by itself—its silicone palm provides plenty of grip to use effectively with poles and tools. You can also wear the shell glove by itself if you don't need the added fleece insulation, but could benefit from waterproof, windproof protection. The shell features a pre-curved construction which facilitates a more ergonomic fit and freer movement, and the gauntlet closure system makes it quick and easy to cinch down or pull open the cuff. It's no fun to have overly clammy hands or frozen fingers, and this versatile glove makes it easy to customize your level of protection for optimal comfort.

These are great. Have thin liner gloves where you can store a heat packet. They are really good at keeping snow out of them with securing straps. Love these gloves.
