NOTES - When it's time to attack the mountain, or brave what could be the worst conditions you'll ever face, it's the Absolute Zero you'll want on your hands. The treated 800-fill power down surrounds the hand, so there's no fine finger work happening with these. But, they're roomy enough for a glove liner so you can pull your hands out and in to get things done. There's a synthetic suede nose wipe, a wicking fleece liner and loops so you can clip them for safe keeping. However, you get what you pay for, so for these top-quality gloves, you're gonna have to shell out a bit.
PERFORMANCE - Warm, dry, and absolutely impervious to the weather, your hands will sweat in anything but well below freezing temps. We'll say the Absolute Zero is as close as we'll get in this universe to shoving our hands in a dying Tauntaun … without the smell.
