Overmitts of nylon : worn on top of the gloves, they are wind and snow proof. Fingerless wool mitts : good for cold weather and finger freedom. Fairly good for rope holding and adequate to climb in. Oiled wool mittens : the general cold-weather glove of the mountaineer. Leather gloves : for rope holding and abseiling. Braking gloves : especially designed leather gloves worn by a climber operating a belay(sometimes called belay gloves).
