Our Verdict
The Retro Pile Gloves by Patagonia are the perfect gloves for cold-weather lowland hikes. They are made from Polartec® material, which is insulating, breathable, and durable. The gloves also have a DWR finish, which makes them water-repellent. Additionally, the gloves are made from 100% recycled materials and are Bluesign® certified, which means they meet high environmental standards.
The touchscreen functions work well, I found navigation easy, and taking photos wasn't too challenging either.
