Main Material

All our gloves are lab-tested on a thermal hand. The temperature ratings (recommended and limit) come from a study with a test panel of 23 walkers exposed to temperatures ranging from 5°C to -20°C and 10 km/h (6 mph) winds. These temperature ratings are only valid in walking conditions. The MT 500 Hiking Gloves have a warmth rating of 1 out of 5. Recommended temperature: 8°C | Limit temperature: 3°C

How is usage temperature measured?

Just like you wear several layers of clothing when hiking, you can wear liner gloves under your gloves that will act as a thermal base layer. This multi-layer system enables pockets of air to form around your hands, efficiently insulating them from the cold.Remember to wear large enough gloves so your fingers do not become constricted. Compression reduces blood circulation in the fingers.

How to effectively protect your hands from the cold

When active, the body generates heat that is preserved by your clothing’s thermal insulation. If clothing isn’t warm enough, your body cools down and circulation to your hands and feet drops to keep your core warm. Your clothing therefore plays a role in keeping your hands warm.

How to keep your hands warm with the right clothing

Dexterity refers to your ability to handle objects while wearing gloves. Our MT 500 Hiking Gloves have been rated in a laboratory. The closer the glove’s dexterity is to 5, the easier it is to handle objects while wearing gloves. For example, we tested the MT 500 Hiking Gloves for putting on and opening a jacket, handling objects in a bivouac, and eating and drinking. The MT 500 Hiking Gloves have a dexterity rating of 4 out of 5.

What is a glove’s dexterity?

The MT 500 Hiking Gloves are not windproof.
Did you know that the wind can make you feel colder? An outdoor temperature of 0°C with a wind speed of 20 km/h (12.5 mph) feels like -10°C. The windproof components reduce the wind chill resulting from the cooling effect of the wind.
For complete protection from the elements, pair them with our MT 500 Hiking Waterproof Over-Gloves.

Are these gloves windproof?

Avoid placing the gloves on a heat source to dry. This could damage the fabric and they could lose their shape.
