DESCRIPTION
Low-profile, touchscreen-compatible gloves built from Patagonia's warm, wicking R1® Daily stretch fabric.
Quick-drying, moisture-wicking recycled polyester blended with spandex will keep your hand dry and clean even in the worst conditions. Thankfully touchscreen compatibility on the thumbs and forefingers means you don't have to remove the gloves to use phones or tablets when route finding on the trail or sat at the bus stop.
Gripper print on the palm ensures a secure hold on smooth surfaces and the low-profile fit allows them to be worn on their own or to slip easily into outer gloves as a liner.

PROVENANCE AND ETHICS
Patagonia was founded by Yvon Chouinard in 1973, the company's roots are in clothing for rock and alpine climbing, but they now produce a diverse mix of apparel targeted towards skiers, snowboarders, surfers and climbers. Patagonia are a world leader in creating ethical, sustainable clothing.
Recycled Polyester: Polyester is a naturally water-repellent material that can withstand the elements. Using polyester fibre made from mechanically recycled plastic bottles reduces CO2 emissions, and Patagonia are working toward eliminating all virgin polyester in their products by 2025.
bluesign® Approved Fabric: Patagonia has worked with bluesign technologies since 2000 to evaluate and reduce resource consumption in their materials supply chain, and to assist them with managing the chemicals, dyes and finishes used in the process. bluesign technologies, based in Switzerland, works at each step in the textile supply chain to approve chemicals, processes, materials, and products that are safe for the environment, safe for workers, and safe for the end customers. In 2007, Patagonia became the first brand to officially join the network of bluesign system partners.
Fair Trade: Patagonia now use more than 20 Fair Trade factories that specialise in the production of outdoor clothing, paying a premium for every Patagonia item that is made in a Fair Trade Certified™ factory. They actively encourage other brands that do business in those factories to join them in the Fair Trade movement, ensuring living wages within the supply chain.
