Hi There, Thanks for your wonderful technical knowledge. But what I need know about and what I observed are your gloves. Hi, I am Rohan from India. I go to Himalaya every year and each time I struggle with my gloves which never help with the technical work what we do like holding and using an ice axe, some kind of rope work, clipping n unclipping carabiners, zoomar handling and also to deal with the cold temperature with goes from sub 0 to -10 around at 6800 mtrs. some times it is very difficult to reattach the crampons when they come off with the thick gloves. the reason is I have very thick and fatty gloves. please can you help with the model names you are using for mountaineering and ice climbing? Or you can send the link where I can get it online. I'll be very grateful if you recommend a pair of gloves. Thank you.

Why not putting pn crampons from the start?

Sorry you're not wearing Rab, you can't come to the mountains.

It's almost as if there may be some kind of sponsorship in place...
