Outdoor Research says: 

Best-selling ActiveIce™ technology is upgraded for Spring 2021 to work more efficiently and effectively than ever before. Now featuring the same thermo-regulating formula as our proprietary ActiveTemp™, this new version of ActiveIce™ dynamically adjusts to your body’s temperature to cool you faster when you need it most. Still wicking and complete with a UPF 50+ sun protection rating, ActiveIce™ is the perfect companion for anyone who spends serious time in hot, sweaty, sun-baked conditions. The ActiveIce Sun Gloves are the fingerless option for back-of-hand sun protection, with a grippy palm to keep hold of your trekking pole, ice axe, or bike handles.

Our Verdict

Outdoor Research’s 2021 ActiveIce Sun Gloves provide excellent levels of protection and comfort from the sun. The gloves have a close fit but the Thermo-Regulating ActiveIce fabric is amazingly lightweight and breathable. Despite this they still provide protection from the sun with a UPF 50+ rating. The fabric does an impressive job of keeping you cool when you are exposed to the sun for prolonged periods. They are also excellent at wicking moisture and are fast drying so they perform well no matter what activities you’re involved in.

These gloves offer an extended coverage high above the long gauntlet style wrist. They also feature a light silicone grip across the palm for added practicality.
