design change not expected
Several years ago I purchased a pair of Rab Latok gloves. Used by me to ice climb in colder conditions. They were wrist length, insulated ,waterproof and the palm was covered with a synthetic gridwork that was very thin and grippy. Perfect for holding ice axes. I searched for a new pair and was happy to see that Rab still made the Latok but, it's not the same glove. It now has a longer gauntlet length and a leather palm which is very slippery. OK I suppose for an approach glove but, not useful for climbing vertical ice pitches. On the plus side they did not cost too much and will get used to bushwhack to the base of climbs.
Would recommend: Yes
Not great for ice climbing
Compared to various of pairs of BD and OR ice combing gloves, the Rab Latok gloves are my least favorite. The gloves are bulky in the palm, reducing dexterity and requiring you to squeeze the grip more. The pre-curve in the fingers is not as pronounced compared to other gloves, the palm fabric tends to bunch up when gripping your tools.
The rubbery grip substance on the fingers and palm started
