Please disregard the previous answer. This will supersede it: The Coating Finish on Mammut's ropes, individually treats and coats each of the individual rope strands. The Super Dry coating, dry treats both the sheath and the core of the rope. A Coating Finish rope includes both the Coating Finish and Super Dry Treatment.

Arcteryx does not provide temperature ratings for its glove so these are unrated. At temperatures of 0 degrees the outer nylon may freeze so these would not be appropriate glove for the North Pole.

Arcteryx does not provide temperature ratings for its gloves, but the fleece that these gloves feature is called Polartec Wind Pro High Loft, which means that they are a low-stretch fleece with four times the wind resistance of traditional fleece textiles. The material is exceptionally warm, and highly breathable which means it delivers outstanding layering. As the outside of the glove is N80p-X GORE-TEX, these gloves are also incredibly waterproof. These gloves have been used mostly for winter mountaineering and heli guiding.
