More information about equipment rental
Which activities require hiking gloves?
– Hiking gloves are recommended for via ferrata climbing. Holding the iron cable and clipping the via ferrata equipment is much easier with gloves. Hiking gloves can protect you from any potential scratches from the iron cable or the rock itself.
Tip: if you are planning a via ferrata adventure, we recommend taking thinner gloves with you.
– Hiking gloves are always a must when you go into the mountains. You never know what the weather will be like. Of course, you can choose the type of gloves according to the season, but always make sure you have a good grip on any of them.
Tip: while climbing the most popular mountain in Slovenia, Mount Triglav, make sure you have thin hiking gloves with you in the summer season for the via ferrata part. In the winter season, take warm winter gloves to protect you from cold wind and snow.
– Winter activities require suitable, warm, and waterproof gloves. Having fun in the snow or climbing an ice wall will likely leave your hands wet. The waterproof gloves will keep your hands dry and warm and make the activity more enjoyable.
How to choose the right hiking gloves?
To choose the right gloves, you must first know which activity you will use them for. There are different types of sports gloves, some specially designed for mountaineering, some for snow activities, and others for casual daily sports activities.
