Description Specifically designed for high-altitude expeditions and polar travel, the Absolute Mitts provide unparalleled protection against the most hostile climates. Because they utilize a modular system with a removable GORE-TEX liner, they allow climbers to manage moisture and warmth efficiently during multi-day backpacking trips. Furthermore, the reinforced goatskin palms and Kevlar® stitching ensure these mittens survive the abrasive nature of technical climbing and fixed-line handling. Therefore, these mittens remain the premier choice for mountaineers tackling 8,000-meter peaks or navigating the harsh, wind-swept ridges of the alpine season. Buy them at Thamel Bazar.
