- Select Alpine mountaineering and ice climbing gloves with reinforced fingers, palms and other contact points for durability
- Ensure the gloves are not too tight which will lead to cold fingers
- Consider gloves with a liner that can separate from the main glove. This provides for quicker drying and using just the liners adds more finger dexterity
For trail running select gloves that are wind proof for winter and above tree line running and a second form fitting pair for late spring /early summer
Bottom Line recommendation for gloves: You will probably require a couple gloves to match your requirements: a light weight model for trail running and larger two part model for mountaineering and ice climbing.
Bottom Line recommendation for hats: A significant amount of the body's heat escapes through the head. Select a hat with wind proofing qualities and fleece lining for colder conditions. Select hats>>

Tip: Start out with layered clothing that still leaves you feeling cool when you start out hiking, mountaineering, mountain biking, etc...Your activity level will produce a great deal of heat that will cause you to sweat if you begin layered and comfortably warm.
