Cold hands lose dexterity before they become painful, and wet feet from trail debris, snow, and stream crossings are a leading cause of blisters and discomfort on long days in the mountains. The right gloves and gaiters address both problems before they become issues.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWinter mountaineers on the glaciers of the Mont Blanc massif, trail runners on muddy autumn courses in the Scottish Highlands, and trekkers crossing the snowy passes of the Annapurna Circuit all rely on gloves and gaiters as essential cold and wet weather accessories. They're the pieces that experienced outdoor athletes add to their kit without thinking — because they've learned from experience what happens when they don't.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGlove Types\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLiner gloves\u003c\/strong\u003e: Thin, touchscreen-compatible; worn alone in mild conditions or under shell gloves in cold conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoftshell gloves\u003c\/strong\u003e: Breathable, weather-resistant; for active use in cold, dry conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWaterproof gloves\u003c\/strong\u003e: Fully waterproof membrane; for wet and cold conditions; less breathable than softshell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsulated mittens\u003c\/strong\u003e: Maximum warmth; for extreme cold and high-altitude use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGaiter Types\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTrail gaiters\u003c\/strong\u003e: Low-cut; keep debris out of shoes on dusty and rocky trails\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMid gaiters\u003c\/strong\u003e: Ankle to mid-calf; for snow, mud, and wet brush\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFull gaiters\u003c\/strong\u003e: Knee-height; for deep snow, glacier travel, and winter mountaineering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003ePair your gloves with a \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/rove-wear-hats-beanies\"\u003ebeanie\u003c\/a\u003e for complete head and hand protection.
