Conductive Brushtail Possum Gloves

Zpacks Brushtail Possum Gloves are designed to keep your hands warm with the lowest possible weight. Made in New Zealand from a blend of merino wool and possum fiber, they offer an excellent balance of warmth, breathability, and comfort for outdoor activities in cold conditions.

They are a very popular choice among hikers and mountaineers looking for lightweight gloves to wear while moving, in camp, or as a liner under waterproof mitts when temperatures really drop.

When to use them

These gloves are designed for hiking, trekking, bikepacking, and any activity where you need to protect your hands from the cold without adding too much weight to your gear. Thanks to their excellent breathability, they are especially comfortable during movement.

They also work very well as liner gloves under waterproof or windproof mitts. This combination creates a very lightweight and versatile layering system for a wide range of weather conditions.

Design

Their stretchy design provides a comfortable fit without restricting finger movement. Unlike thick winter gloves, they prioritize dexterity and comfort for everyday tasks such as handling trekking poles, cooking, or setting up camp.

They also feature conductive threads on the fingertips, allowing use with compatible touchscreen devices without needing to remove the gloves.

Made with merino wool and possum fiber

The Brushtail Possum Gloves combine merino wool with brushtail possum fiber from New Zealand. This blend offers excellent warmth for the weight and a very soft feel against the skin.

Possum fiber has a hollow structure that helps trap more air and improve insulation. It also dries quickly and retains its performance better in wet conditions than many traditional fibers, making these gloves an excellent choice for mountain activities.
