Zpacks Vertice Rain Mitts

Vertice Rain Mitts - Lightweight Waterproof Protection for Trekking

Keep your hands warm and dry on cold, rainy hikes with ultralight Vertice Rain Mitts from Zpacks. Designed specifically for hikers who use trekking poles, these mitts deliver exceptional weather protection without the bulk or weight of traditional rain gloves.

Built with proprietary 51 g/m² Vertice waterproof-breathable fabric, these mitts offer outstanding breathability that outperforms most rain gear on the market. The C6 DWR treatment (PFAS-based) ensures water beads off the surface, keeping your hands comfortable and dry instead of clammy and wet even during extended use with trekking poles.

Designed for Real Trail Conditions

The durable Vertice fabric stands up to the constant friction and wear from pole straps and grips. Fully taped seams prevent any water intrusion, while the ergonomic fit conforms naturally to your hand and thumb for all-day comfort. Extended cuffs overlap comfortably with jacket sleeves to seal out weather completely.

Smart Features for Hikers

• Elastic wrist bands with clips to attach mitts together or hang them to dry
• Elastic exits at palm for easy left/right identification
• Sized to wear alone or over thin liner gloves for added warmth (PossumDown gloves work perfectly as liners)
• Field-repairable: repair tape adheres strongly to the inside surface for quick trail fixes
  

Ultralight Performance

At just 51 g/m², Vertice fabric is among the lightest waterproof-breathable materials available, optimized to shed grams without sacrificing durability or weather protection.

Care Instructions

• Wash only as needed after a few trips or when DWR performance diminishes.
• Machine wash with Grangers Repel Plus or a similar product.
• Air or line dry only. Do not tumble dry.
