Montane Ultra Trail Breeze Shark Gloves

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

A minimalist glove for those who want full pole control without sacrificing comfort or breathability.

Leki says: 

With the Shark version of the Ultra Trail Breeze, you’ll be well equipped for your next ultra trail. The Shark System allows you to click directly into the pole and thus have a perfect power transfer between hand and pole. Flexible soft span on the outer hand ensures a pleasantly cool feel. Perforated materials on the palm and between the fingers also provide the hand with excellent ventilation. Both the fingertips and the palm have been reinforced with silicone, which ensures good grip on the pole itself and in contact with rocks.

Our Verdict

Purpose-built for fast movement with poles, the Ultra Trail Breeze Shark Gloves combine breathability, grip and a seamless pole connection. At 57g for a medium, these gloves are ideal for trail running, fastpacking or long-distance hikes. The real standout is the direct contact with the trekking pole, which creates an efficient and secure connection, noticeably improving power transfer through the hand. The fit is close and stretchy, featuring perforated fabric across the palms and fingers to maintain airflow. Silicone detailing enhances grip on poles and technical holds, while the touchscreen-friendly fingertips allow for easy navigation and checking your watch.
