The comfortable cuffs feature a dedicated wristwatch opening, allowing you to easily check your stats, time, or GPS without exposing your skin to the elements. Stay connected without freezing your fingers thanks to the touchscreen-compatible material on the thumb and index finger. A soft nosewipe on the thumb provides comfort on cold days, while a mapped silicone texture on the palm ensures a secure grip on trekking poles, water bottles, or your phone.
