There’s something about that first real chill in the air that makes me happy when the mornings turn crisp, the light feels sharper, and I can finally dig out my winter gloves and neck gaiter. It’s that time of year when layering up becomes part of the ritual, and the right kit makes all the difference.
Outdoor Research have long been one of my favourites for winter gear. Born in Seattle, they’ve perfected the art of keeping cold-weather comfort dialled in, whatever the conditions throw at you. But what I’ve always loved most is their eclectic extremities expertise, they really do know how to make exceptional hats and gloves.
Adrenaline Gloves & Mitts
Warmth, Protection, and Performance for the Mountains
The Outdoor Research Adrenaline Gloves balance protection and usability through a Ventia waterproof insert and EnduraLoft synthetic insulation. At 138 g (Mens Medium), they feel well-structured without being bulky, providing enough dexterity to handle zips, buckles, and poles without removing them.
Superior Dexterity, Warmth, and Touchscreen Compatibility
The Vigor Sensor Gloves from Outdoor Research are best suited for low-level winter walks, some gentle hill walking, and the commute to work. The palms of the gloves have an anti-slip silicon print for some grip and touchscreen capabilities that work well for basic navigation.
Exceptional Low-Bulk Warmth and Weather Resistance
The Stowe Aerogel Gloves combine Primaloft Gold insulation with Aerogel Cross Core technology, providing notable warmth without the bulk of traditional insulated gloves. The stretch ripstop shell feels flexible and well-cut, allowing natural movement when gripping poles or adjusting pack straps. Breathability is excellent, and the silicone palm print offers a reliable grip on metal or wet surfaces. The overall balance of comfort, dexterity, and thermal efficiency makes them a capable choice for mixed winter conditions.
