Frequently Asked Questions
For winter walks, alpine areas and early starts, yes. Cold hands stop you working zips, buckles and a phone, and wind on a ridge chills them fast. A thin liner or fleece glove weighs little and fits in a pocket, so it is worth carrying from May to September even if you only wear it at dawn.
None is a fully waterproof glove. The Tease II softshell is rated 10,000 mm waterproof and handles sleet and drizzle. The Infinium II and Real Deal are windproof with a water-repellent coating that sheds light showers. For steady rain, wear one of them as a liner under a waterproof outer glove.
Wrap a tape around your hand just below the knuckles and match it to the size chart on the product page. As a guide, XTM's medium fits 19 to 21.6 cm in the Tease II. Liners should fit snug. Between sizes, go down for finger control or up for a roomier, warmer feel.
Yes. The XTM Merino Gloves and the Arctic Thermal Liner Glove are thin enough to wear under ski gloves or mitts, and they stay on when the outer glove comes off to fix a binding or use a phone. The Arctic has touchscreen fingertips and a silicone grip palm.
How to choose hiking gloves
• Liners: thin gloves to wear alone on a cool morning or under a bigger glove. TheHow to choose hiking gloves
• Liners: thin gloves to wear alone on a cool morning or under a bigger glove. The XTM Merino Gloves are 230 gsm Australian merino, and the Arctic Thermal Liner Glove adds a silicone grip palm and touchscreen fingertips.
• Fleece: the Muse Fleece Mens Glove is 205 gsm recycled anti-pill microfleece. XTM rate it 2 of 4 for warmth and 3 of 4 for dexterity: a glove for cool days on the move.
• Windproof: the Infinium II and Real Deal use GORE-TEX Infinium Windstopper fabric with a PFC-free DWR. The Real Deal adds a goat skin leather palm for poles and bars.
• Softshell: the Tease II bonds a fleece inner to a windproof shell rated 10,000 mm waterproof and 10,000 g breathable.
• Fingerless: Ottie Merino Hand Covers are 210 gsm superfine merino with a thumb hole, so your fingers stay free for zips and a camera.
Sizing and layering
Measure around your hand just below the knuckles and match it to the size chart on each product page. A liner should fit close, so take your true size rather than sizing up. To layer, wear a merino or Arctic liner under a roomier outer glove or mitt on a cold day, then strip back to the liner when you warm up on a climb. The Ottie Hand Covers come in S/M and M/L by palm width.
Hiking gloves for Australian conditions
Wind is what strips heat from your hands on an exposed ridge in the Victorian high country or the Main Range, so a windproof glove matters more than a thick one. On a frosty start in the Blue Mountains, a merino or fleece glove is enough and packs flat into a pocket by mid-morning. For a wet day in Tassie, none of these is a fully waterproof glove: the Tease II sheds drizzle, and the Infinium II works as a liner under a waterproof shell. Pair them with a beanie or neck warmer and men's thermals for winter walks.
