Rab's Guide Glove Short is a short-cuff, waterproof glove that is highly durable yet sensitive enough for rope handling in the extreme cold. Designed to meet the exacting needs of Alpine Guides, the original Guide Glove features a long, gauntlet-style cuff that extends up the wrist for extra protection. For the Guide Glove Short, they have pared down the cuff to sit snugly under a softshell, reducing obstruction and increasing mobility.
