The Smartwool Active Fleece Insulated Glove starts with the same soft-brushed merino against the skin as our standard fleece glove, then adds a windproof overlay and extra insulation across the back of the hand for real protection against harsh, cold conditions. Double-layer knit construction and a nylon-overlay palm patch add durability where the glove takes the most wear. Touchscreen-compatible thumb and fingertips keep the phone accessible without pulling a glove off in the cold. What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I've worn these on the exposed ridgelines where wind cuts through everything else in my kit, and the back of my hand stays warm instead of going numb. The windproof overlay is doing real work there, not just the insulation."
