The Marmot Stretch Wrist Gaiter is a clever way to try to tackle the problem of Hot Aches or simply to give an extra boost of warmth to an existing glove system. Hot Aches stems from the fact that your wrists are one of the most poorly insulated parts of any clothing system, falling between your jacket and your gloves. This, combined with the number of blood vessels close to the surface of the skin, means that cold blood flows into your hands and they drop rapidly in temperature. Once you reach a belay and put your arms down warm blood flows back in and the sudden rise in temperature gives rise to the agony we all know well. By protecting your wrists from the cold you can dramatically decrease the problem.
The Stretch Gaiter is designed to fit under your gloves and prevent heat loss from this most exposed area.. A comprehensive glove system for winter climbing would consist of these, a liner glove and a waterproof shell, with perhaps some big thick belay mitts if you suffer from cold hands.

Marmot Power Stretch Wrist Gaiter Review
Reviewer: jake thompsett, worcester (31-1-2012)
I heard from a friend and from a couple of winter climbing reviews that these were a fantastic purchase for anyone who suffers from poor circulation in the hands. I've just returned from a week of climbing in the Cairngorms where I used these wrist gaiters, and for the first time I didn't completely loose the feeling in my hands and fingers and then consequently suffer from terrible hot aches! I couldn't rate this product more, the amount of warmth that they trap around your wrists is unbelievable and it makes a massive difference to the circulation to your fingers! They are an absolute bargain and i recommend them to anyone whether or not you get cold hands!

Reviewer: Joy Soar, Ipswich (31-1-2012)
Being blessed with long limbs, sometimes it looks like my ski jacket and gloves have had an argument, especially on an active powder day -when snow gets in even the smallest opening. These gaiters are the answer. They bridge the gap, and the extra layer of fleece over my wrists keeps the blood going to my hands warm.
The only down side is the extra bulk around your hand, & therefore holding the ski pole, but I found I quickly got used to this & it is no longer a problem. Wish I'd had them years ago!

If, like me your arms are always to long for your jackets, this is the kit for you. Keeps wrists warm and closes the gap. Simple, fairly cheap and works well. Seams are sewn so as to make the comfy too. I wear them with a fairly snug fitting black diamond punisher glove and they fit fine.

Reviewer: Malcolm Lawson, Onich (16-1-2012)
I wear these over Smartwool glove liners and under Mountain Equipment Xtrafit gloves to make a warm, dry and dexterous climbing glove combo. They are comfy to wear, weigh next to nothing and do a great job of warming the blood to the hands. They would work well under almost any glove.

Reviewer: Andrew Twemlow, Caernarfon (29-11-2011)
Bought these for ice climbing and winter mountaineering. I have long suffered with poor circulation and cold hands. These help keep the blood flowing to your hands warmer relieving some of the issues, as they away keep your wrists covered.
Also very good for warming at a cold climbing wall.




Marmot Stretch Wrist Gaiter Review
Reviewer: Sari Lahtinen, Vantaa (19-12-2010)
I ordered these wrist gaiters as I needed something to keep my wrists and hands from freezing when spending time on the slopes here in the North. Especially good when taking photos during skiing or when I need to take something from pockets and the temperature is -15 or below. Great product for me, as I always suffer from cold hands. Strongly recommend for everyone who want to keep wrists warm and don’t want to have frozen hands even on long day skiing in frost.
