Rab Storm Shell Gloves

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

The Storm Shell Gloves make an excellent top layer for those tackling severe weather, combining weatherproofing with comfort.

Hestra says: 

Functional shell glove in strong 3-layer fabric with recycled polyamide. Perfect as a waterproof and breathable pull-on glove over a base glove in wet weather, or together with one of Hestra’s removable liners. The silicone print provides good grip, and the high cuff with snowlock keeps moisture and cold away from the wrists.

Our Verdict

The Hestra Storm Shell Gloves are a highly functional outer layer designed to be worn over insulating gloves in harsh, wet conditions. Made from durable, recycled polyamide with a windproof and waterproof HDry insert, these gloves offer reliable protection when the weather takes a turn. The oversized fit ensures they easily slide over bulkier gloves, which are ideal for layering up in alpine or wet environments.

These gloves excel in handling wet and windy conditions, with features like the high cuff and snowlock keeping moisture and cold out. The silicone grip print on the palm provides a secure hold on poles or gear, while the pre-curved “eagle grip” design ensures comfort and dexterity despite the added layer. Handcuffs keep them close when you’re not wearing them, adding an extra layer of practicality.
