DESCRIPTION
Lightweight and touch screen compatible merino wool gloves from Arc'teryx - designed for use as a standalone or a liner. Made with soft, warm merino wool, and with a next-to-skin fit, the Gothic Glove is an excellent insulating liner but also functions well on its own.
Worn under a shell, the Gothic Gloves provide warmth, naturally resists odours and insulate even if wet. Light and easy to pack or stow in a pocket. Sensors on the thumb and forefinger enable use of smartphones, tablets, GPS and other touch screen digital tools. Contains wool certified to the Responsible Wool Standard (RWS): RWS is a voluntary program that helps sheep farmers meet consumer, retailer, and brand demands - the standard certifies they meet rigorous animal welfare and land management requirements.

PROVENANCE AND ETHICS
Originally founded as Rock Solid Manufacturing by David Lane in 1981, In 1990 Lane brought Jeremy Guard, a fellow climber, into the fold and in 1991 they renamed the company Arc’teryx - a nod to the Archaeopteryx lithographica, the first reptile to develop feathers for flight - the first bird - and the brand’s instantly recognisable logo is a depiction of the Berlin specimen of the Archaeopteryx. Their philosophy is guided by the belief that durability is the strongest path to sustainability.
