NAU is known for their use of advanced recycled fabrics and natural materials for their modern outdoor clothing products. Their new Blender Glove is no exception. Made from Teijin recycled polyester, Merino wool and Pittards goat leather, it is a top choice for those seeking an advanced technical glove.
NAU markets the Blender Glove as a more sustainable option since it uses recycled polyester fabric instead of virgin polyester (petroleum).
The glove is designed to be durable while offering stretch as well as water repellent and breathable.
We found its build quality to be exceptional - the gloves should yield years of use. The interior Merino wool lining is also a welcome addition. Breathability is quite good which is a positive in some conditions but may not be desirable in others. The gloves seem ideal for all applications requiring dexterity and durability in a glove. Warmth in cold climates may require a more insulated glove. It should also be noted the glove is relatively lightweight at 6 oz.
The Blender Glove is available directly from NAU.
NOTE: We contacted Vermont-based Ibex for product information on their Climawool glove, which is similar to the Blender Glove. Despite repeated attempts at contact we never received a response from Ibex.
