Rab Talon Glove

Season:EOL

Brand:Rab Deals

Code:5064021

The Talon is a fully waterproof stretch insulated glove from Rab, designed for tackling steep alpine terrain with maximum dexterity and grip when using ice tools, carabiners and ropes. 

When you are moving up steep mixed ground through spindrift, dexterity as well as protection for the hands is required to inspire confidence.

The Talon Glove carefully balances both these attributes; designed using a tough, lightweight and stretch Matrix® fabric with a fully waterproof eVent® insert, and including a leather palm and grippers, these gloves are optimised for wielding your axes in mixed, changeable environments. Featuring PrimaLoft® synthetic insulation for maximum warmth with the least bulk possible; the Talon is suited to seriously sub zero temperatures. 

Buyers Guide - How to choose gloves and mittens

Your extremities are VERY delicate so keeping them warm is and protected from the elements is very important. When you are cold, your body protects itself by pulling blood away from your extremities to your core (body and head/brain) for protection. This makes for cold hands and a lack of dexterity which is at best frustrating when it comes to clipping rucksack buckles but if you are in colder temperatures then things can turn very serious.

Just as with technical clothing and socks – the amount of science and design that goes into a technical glove is astonishing. We pride ourselves on having one of the broadest glove choices available in the country – why? Because when it comes to keeping your hands toasty – fit is king. If you thought clothing was difficult to size then take a look at your hands. Then, look at the hands of your friends………

- What size should I buy?
- When do I need more than one pair?
- Will waterproof gloves keep my hands dry?
- Why are technical gloves so bulky?
- What can I do if I suffer from cold hands/ bad circulation/ Raynauds Syndrome?
- Why won’t my phone or GPS work while I am wearing gloves?
- Mittens or Fingers?
- What about sustainability?




Top tips to make the right choice:

Try them on!

Make sure you can both remove and put the gloves on your opposite hand while wearing them and check to see if they fit under or over your jacket cuffs. Don’t forget to think about layers if you are going somewhere cold or suffer from bad circulation and make sure each layer fits to allow for insulation to loft without feeling tight or crushed.

Don’t forget to check you have brought the right size for your hands and fingers. The best way to do this is…..try them on.
