Bitterblaze Gloves
- Price
- $249.95
Description
Designed to deliver dexterity, durability and warmth these ground breaking Bitterblaze gloves use the waterproof trustworthiness of GORE-TEX®, the resilience of Pittards® Oiltac goat leather and the revolutionary warmth of PrimaLoft® Aerogel insulation to make a remarkable piece of kit. Designed and used by NASA, the Aerogel insulation forms a compression-resistant thermal barrier that is patterned over the palm and fingers of each glove, with multiple panels that allow retention of grip and freedom of movement. Each customised Aerogel insert reduces heat loss from freezing cold elements, like ice, rock, tools and rope.
Not only have Outdoor Research given us spaceman gloves to play with they have also added all the little bells and whistles that mean you don’t lose them on your first trip out! With a carabiner loop for easy storage, a pull-on loop for no-fuss application, an elasticised wrist for further range of motion and hook-and-loop wrist closures to trap in heat and fasten gloves securely these bad boys are really out of this world!

Testimonials
"I spent close to 3 hours in this store today, being fitted for and choosing a pack, and the staff are fantastic. Helpful, knowledgeable, patient and friendly - and I think I'm probably a fussy customer and I have difficulty finding packs that fit comfortably. Has to be my best experience in this kind of store to date."

"My favourite outdoor shop in Sydney. This is where you go if you want to see gear stocked because of it's quality, not just because it's corporate overload has pumped out another 10,000 puffer jackets that need to be moved before next season. Knowledgeable staff that actually partake in trekking and travelling themselves. Definitely worth dropping in!"

"Always friendly, helpful staff with great knowledge. Great range of good quality products (nothing really low end) including Australian/NZ brands e.g. Wilderness Equipment, One Planet and Aarn. Never had a fuss with exchanging unused gear within the 2 week period."
