"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: ""I’ve used these gloves for everything from skinning in cold wind to transitions on stormy days. The WINDSTOPPER® material blocks the chill, and the goatskin palm grips ski poles and ice tools without slipping. They’re warm, breathable, and tough enough for all-day use in alpine conditions."" Whether we’re skinning toward an alpine ridge or making quick transitions in gusty weather, the Mammut Astro Guide SO Glove keeps our hands warm, protected, and ready to move. Built with GORE-TEX WINDSTOPPER® material, these gloves block the wind while staying breathable enough for uphill efforts, and PrimaLoft® insulation offers reliable warmth even when damp. Water-repellent Pittards® leather on the palm adds durable grip and dexterity for handling poles, tools, or bindings, while a stretchy neoprene cuff with hook-and-loop closure delivers a snug, adjustable fit that seals out snow. Thoughtful alpine features like a nose wipe, carabiner loop, and pre-shaped construction make this glove a backcountry workhorse from peak to parking lot."
