OUTDRY: THE GLOVE'S COMFORT REVOLUTION.
Mountain Hardwear gloves made with OutDry® waterproofing technology are revolutionizing how gloves fit, function and feel. Currently, OutDry® is the most advanced wind and waterproof technology on the market - try a pair, and experience the difference compared to gloves with a conventional waterproof insert.
"OutDry® surpasses the promise of waterproof and actually delivers the goods. I've plucked skis out of creeks, hand-trenched for hours up snowy slopes and climbed dripping ice in my Jalapeno gloves while my hands were warm, comfortable...and dry." - Wasatch Backcountry Resident, Andrew McLean.
"On the mountain, dexterity is king. OutDry® technology lets us build gloves that are shockingly warm, yet half as bulky and twice as supple as any traditional expedition glove. Best of all, your hands absolutely, positively stay dry. Need I say more?" - Freddie Wilkinson, Alpinist.
Freddie uses the Medusa and Hydra gloves for alpine climbing.
