Trail Tested
During long mornings of climbing ridgelines and photography, the Super Down Pro Glassing Glomitt has made a huge difference in staying comfortable. Instead of layering up in bulky gloves that makes adjusting focus or using binos awkward, the Glommits allow freedom of movement with insulated core warmth and a hand tunnel that kept my fingers from freezing.
These are the kind of specialized piece you might not realize you need until you try it, and then you wonder how you ever sat for hours without them. Packed down, these barely take up space in my backpack, making them a no-brainer for backpacking trips and wildlife photography trips where weight matters but warmth is non-negotiable.
Over the years I have relied on the Super Down Pro Glassing Glomitts for reliable and pretty immediate warmth. They have proven themselves to be super durable and great for snowy conditions.
