The Arcteryx Lithic Glove is a serious glove for the serious winter activist. They are an insulated and waterproof technical winter sports glove designed for the ultimate protection in cold environments. It offers unparalleled articulation and dexterity, and fits like a dream.
The Lithic Glove easily handles a range of winter mountain sports, particularly backcountry skiing and boarding, making this a great glove for guides and mountain instructors. The features are carefully tailored for alpine travel, whether on skis, on a board or in crampons. The short gauntlet fits under or over jacket sleeves, while the elasticated adjustable wrist strap creates a secure seal and precision fit that keeps heat closer to the fingers. Adjustment is easily used with the gloves on, and removable leashes help prevent dropped gloves from getting lost.
Laminated TPU reinforcements are used rather than conventional leather across the palm and fingers. TPU’s hydrophobic properties prevent the reinforcements from wetting out, not only saving weight, but also preventing heat loss from wet materials. Because the TPU reinforcements can be strategically laminated to the precise areas needed, using them results in increased dexterity, improved breathability and extended durability.
The Lithic Gloves gloves use ultra tough, yet supple, N333p-X 3L GORE-TEX® fabric with tricot technology on the palm and fingers and highly breathable N70p 3L GORE-TEX® on the back of the hand. Fully taped seams are used throughout to seal out anything the mountain weather can throw at them.
