Vermont-based Ibex is known for producing high quality clothing products made from wool. The company produces an array of outerwear including the highly functional Climawool glove.
The softshell glove is fully lined with lightweight soft Merino wool. The gloves feature advanced Schoeller fabric on the outside are insulated with Primaloft, have durable leather palms and are lined with wool.
We tested the Ibex Climawool glove over a two week period and were highly impressed. The glove held up to a variety of wintry New England weather. The first important point to note is the fit. Because of the fabrics chosen the fit of the glove is excellent allowing for plenty of dexterity.
The glove held up well in heavy snow and wind providing excellent wind resistance and maintaining warmth thanks to the Primaloft insulation.
Of the different gloves we've tested the Ibex Climawool is the best in terms of resistance to wind and maintaining warmth.
We put the gloves through a number of tests in both urban and rural environments and can recommend them for most outdoor activities as well as casual usage in the city.
The gray leather palms do begin to show normal signs of wear fairly quickly however there is absolutely no impact on their functionality.
After our two week test with these we both felt the gloves are high quality and are the mostly functional and warm gloves we've tested to date.
