Reviews & Ratings for Rab Baltoro Glove - Mens — 5 reviews — Page 1

The design of the leather palm and precurve fingers restrict fully opening hand I used twice and already opened seam stitching Also the finger one one glove was crooked and did not fit properly would not recommend

The Baltoro glove is an excellent "puffy" glove; however, the sizing is a bit off. I usually wear a size Medium in Rab gloves. One of the reasons that I buy Rab is because their gloves fit me so well (fingers and thumb); however, it would appear that the insulation of this glove pushes into the volume area of the glove and makes it too tight all around for my hand (even the finger felt too short). I don't buy OR gloves because the thumb is always too long for my hand. OR makes good gloves, but they just don't fit my hand well. I have exchanged the Baltoro size Mediums for a size Large. We shall see if those will work (yet TBD). Quality seems to be the usual Rab good quality.
In general, I use these gloves as my belay gloves or when just standing around when out ice climbing. I don't like a puffy glove to climb with, as it would force me to over-grip my tools; but, when I stop climbing, I need a good warm glove.

purchased for ice climbing. They deliver for intended purpose- long alpine routes, and warm gloves @ belays w/good feel.(after a couple outings)
Have tried leading in them...tools fine, screws fine, rope fine. I find them a little too bulky for rapid biner handling and real technical pitches.

I`ve used these as belaying gloves for ice climbing. The palm is a bit slippy for my taste, so you have to grab a rope really tight. As a general purpose glove they are very comforable, temperature-wise may be used down to -15 C when more or less static and probably down to -20-25 C when active.

I recieved these from Santa. The gauntlet is long and is easily tightend to keep wind/snow out. the sizing worksgreat for me, and I bought these on sale so the value was outstanding. the are warn enough for me when active in moderate winter temps. These are not warm enough for just wearing as warmth when not active,but these are mountaineering gloves so when used as intended these excel.
