Yukon Hardshell Glove | Valo

Best For: Ultralight waterproof glove 

KUIU’s first uninsulated 100% waterproof glove—rain gear for your hands. Built with the latest construction technology for outstanding protection, stretch fit, and ultralight weight. HDry® waterproof membrane technology and a direct-fit fully bonded liner deliver performance that far exceeds the weight. Like our Yukon rain gear, the glove’s Primeflex® face fabric is durable for its weight, takes on very little moisture, and dries quickly.

Unlike typical waterproof membranes that hang loosely under the outer shell (allowing water to penetrate and saturate the space between layers, creating vapor lock and killing breathability), the HDry® membrane is laminated directly to the inside of the outer shell. Water cannot pass through seams or the face fabric, so the interior stays dry and breathable.

The Yukon Hardshell Glove is best in mild to cold conditions when an insulated glove is too warm but you still need full waterproof protection. The mid-length gauntlet cuff can be worn under or over a rain gear sleeve. A must-have for backpack hunters, it also crosses over into waterfowl as a decoy glove and packable shell when the weather turns.
