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.

• Extreme Waterproofness
  The OutDry® system is based on a patented innovative lamination process: the waterproof and breathable membrane is bonded directly to the external glove's shell, creating a unique body which seals the stitching and any other potential water entry point. Thus, there are no gaps between the shell and the waterproof barrier (as is the case with a conventional waterproof insert system) where water can stagnate and create an unpleasant wet, cold sensation. For the same reason, gloves with OutDry® dry much faster.
• Superior Breathability
  The OutDry® membrane is specifically engineered for hand protection during sport activity. It has very high water vapor permeability, certified by the primary international testing facilities according to ISO, ASTM and JIS norms. The absence of humidity between the membrane and the shell greatly facilitates moisture management.
• Totally Windproof
  With OutDry® the wind is blocked on the glove's outer surface. With a standard insert system, the air between the shell and the membrane is continuously replaced with cold air, reducing the thermal properties of the glove.
• Constant Insulation
  The secret behind OutDry's comfort lies with the large volume of warm, dry air which envelops your hand. This layer of air dramatically reduces the risk of condensation from excessive perspiration, and maintains stable hand temperature.
• Perfect Fit
  The OutDry® system uniformly seals the shell's inner surface with a thin waterproof barrier (0,03 millimeter) leaving increased space for the insulation layer. OutDry® provide a precise fit and increased dexterity: no need to take your gloves off.
• High Quality and Durability
  The materials and processes utilized by the OutDry® system are engineered for durability in extreme conditions, and maintain their properties for the entire lifetime of the glove.
• Environmentally Friendly
  OutDry® is made with recyclable, non-toxic materials.
