Estimate from maker's specs
Weight
From maker's figures 9/10How much they add to your pack. 9: Among the best you can buy for this.
57 g for the pair, Trekmates' figure in the specification on its product page (size not stated): under 60 g, the top band.
Waterproofing
From maker's figures 2/10How well they keep your hands dry and the wind out, from how they are made. 2: A weak point.
A liner glove with no water or wind claim: merino wool with no membrane and no stated water-repellent finish, so the 'no claim' band. Trekmates says it works best under a waterproof shell glove.
In short
Good for
- A very light liner glove under a shell glove or mitt, at 57 g a pair
- Mild days on a walk, worn alone: Trekmates says it works that way in mild conditions
- Using a phone or GPS without taking the glove off
Strengths
- Light at 57 g a pair
- Merino wool: quick drying and warm when damp, as Trekmates puts it
- Seamless build with stretch rib cuffs
- Touchscreen compatible
Weaknesses
- No wind or water protection: it needs a shell glove over it in wet weather
- Thin liner, so on its own it is for mild days
- Our judgement scores are blank: no usable independent test of this glove
