Gloves for EBC

The Gear Shed

Looking for a decent pair of gloves for Everest Base Camp. I had K-Way gloves for Kili and it was apparently (according to the guide) way too snug. Needless to say, my fingers were just short of frozen on summit night. I know, I know … this brand is perfect for our climate … would have, should have, could have but didn’t. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

I have been advised that Black Diamond Guide would be perfect, however, doesn’t look like I can find those locally.

Any other suggestions?

If I can find a new pair of the BD Guides, would it be easy to resell after using it for 15 days of trekking (not even sure that I will need it each day).

Hello, its depend on time of the year you are going to do Everest Base Camp trek. trek up to Base Camp you don’t need any BD Gloves you can go with normal one its easy to find at Kathmandu trekking store will not cost you more then 1k. if you willing to have better Gloves you can rent it its might cost you Rs.150/day. choice is yours.
