On the icy slopes of the Himalayas, where short breath meets biting cold, the Citadel Mitt from Mountain Equipment become your unwavering allies. These mitts, the result of collaboration with seasoned athletes, are designed for demanding ascents where every move counts. They have already proven their worth during first ascents over 7000 meters and on modern alpine lines. The magic lies in their ability to offer exceptional fingertip sensitivity and mobility, essential for securing and conquering summits.
The Citadel Mitts are a true masterpiece of two-part technology. The outer glove, fortified by PrimaLoft® Gold, offers spectacular thermal insulation. This material does not falter, even when wet, and surpasses down in terms of compression resistance. In harmony with the DRILITE® Loft 20D outer fabric, it provides a water-repellent, windproof, and breathable barrier. The waterproof goat leather and polyamide palm add a dose of robustness and grip that makes all the difference during your alpine maneuvers.
Inside, the fleece glove and EXOLITE Softshell promise comfort and warmth, even when worn alone. The ingenious two-part finger design offers superior warmth and increased dexterity compared to a traditional glove. Whether for a challenging ascent or a well-deserved break between pitches, the Citadel Mitts are there to keep your hands warm and ready to face the elements, with a touch of elegance and performance that is sure to make even the most stoic climber smile.
