What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:"I use these for shoulder-season runs when conditions change fast. I like having the mitten layer ready when wind hits, then tucking it away once I warm up without stopping."We head out when the air still bites, knowing our hands will warm and cool in waves as effort and exposure change. The Etip Trail Glove from The North Face is built for that in-between space, giving us dexterity at the start and extra protection when the wind sneaks in. It’s a training glove that adapts as quickly as our pace does. Stretch fabric keeps the fit close and comfortable while maintaining full range of motion for swinging arms and quick adjustments. The integrated WindWall overmitt deploys when gusts cut through exposed ridgelines, then stashes cleanly once we’re generating heat again. Touchscreen-compatible fingertips let us manage routes and music without bare hands, and silicone grip across the palm keeps a steady hold on poles, phones, or dog leashes during cold starts.
