Smartwool Merino Gloves

Merino knit, touchscreen fingertips

4.1 on Amazon

Thin enough to work a phone and warm enough for most walking mornings, and merino stays warm damp where fleece does not — completely inadequate on their own once wind gets up on a pass.

What you get

  • Touchscreen fingertips that actually work
  • Fit inside a shell mitt as a liner
  • Merino keeps working when they are damp with sweat

What it costs you

  • Not windproof
  • Wet through in minutes of snow
  • Fingertips wear out first

Do not buy this if: A cold pass crossing as your only glove. This is the inner half of a two-part system.

The alternatives

Everything else we recommend in gloves & mitts, including the ones we think suit a different trekker.
