Power Stretch Contact Gloves

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

UOG TOP PICK – Lightweight and versatile, these minimalist gloves are one of our Top Picks as they are so easy to put in your packs and forget about. A good all-rounder that works well in a layering system or stand alone on milder days. Just as good on the hill as they are on the commute.

A great all-rounder. Warm and comfortable with a good level of stretch to make them really practical. Touchscreen compatible so you don’t have to mess on each time you check your phone. 

Rab says: Lightweight glove in Polartec® stretch fabric for all round use in variable conditions and as a liner glove.

The Power Stretch Contact Glove is a lightweight and quick drying glove, made using Polartec® Power Stretch® Pro™ fabric and featuring conductive fingertips on the index and thumb tips to allow use with smartphones.

The Power Stretch Contact Glove can be used as a standalone glove for mountain and hill walking in variable conditions, or as a liner glove in harsher alpine environments.

Our Verdict

Rab’s Power Stretch Contact Gloves provide a decent amount of warmth from the Polartec Power Stretch Pro material. The fleece lining and stretch in the material make them really comfortable for wearing over long periods and allow you to keep a good level of dexterity.

If you simply want the warmth and comfort but don’t think you’ll need to handle that much then go for these, the non grip version and save a few quid. If you think you might need the extra grip with the silicon design on the palm then the contact grip are a great alternative choice.
