Wear The North Face waterproof breathable Recon Gloves on your mountaineering climbs, and take the removable liners out when your hands get too hot. The Recon Glove's articulated fit makes your grip on the ice axe feel more natural, and fleece insulation in the liner provides warmth on chilly morning climbs. Use the finger loop to clip the Recon Gloves to your carabiner and harness—the loop keeps the glove's fingers pointing up so moisture won't invade the insides. Since a runny nose usually accompanies alpine climbs, The North Face added a soft nose wipe on the thumbs.

Bottom Line: Conditions change quickly on mountaineering and alpine climbing trips. Your hands will be ready with the Recon Gloves.

My New North Face Recon Glove

By:
June 6, 2008

Excellent for ice climbing - I live in La Paz Bolivia, and I used them to climb the Huayna Potosi at 6.100 meters over sea level, very warm and good abrasion for ice axe.

May be it was not complete waterproof as I was expecting.

Not Waterproof

By:

Seemed like a well made glove, but I returned them immediately after doing a dunk test with the gloves on. The entire thumb section is NOT made of waterproof material and soaked through entirely to my thumbs. Like I said, it seems like a well made glove just not what I was looking for.

Good for Price

With the liner being slightly bulky compared to the soft outter shell I replaced them with thinner glove warmers which fit perfectly. The longer cuff is really nice although it's slightly narrow for most ski jackets. (I have a Northface Mnt. Light with a denali underneath.) They allow for a good grip on ski poles and comfortable long enough for all day use. My only real complaint is that they're not made with gore-tex.
