The RAB Khroma Freeride GTX gloves are carefully designed for freeride skiing and extremely cold conditions. They combine a series of smart choices — starting with Primaloft Gold insulation, one of the best on the market. It’s moisture-resistant, delivers high thermal performance, and does so without excessive bulk.
Next up is durability — a strong point, thanks to reinforced leather patches, especially around the thumb area, which is prone to wear during ski carrying. This makes the Khroma Freeride GTX a solid option for mountain guides, ski patrollers, and other mountain professionals.
One feature we really appreciated is the soft, flexible wrist construction. RAB deliberately avoided traditional elastic or drawcord cuffs, which often limit wrist mobility and interfere with pole straps or large GPS watches.
The gloves also include a Gore-Tex Plus Warm insert, offering top-tier waterproofing and wind protection.
As a bonus, removable wrist leashes help you avoid losing a glove when adjusting gear or riding lifts. The cuffs are low-profile, allowing the gloves to slide easily under a shell jacket.
Considering their thickness, dexterity is surprisingly good. Clearly, warmth was prioritized over precision, which makes sense for their intended use in severe conditions.
In summary, the RAB Khroma Freeride GTX is an excellent freeride glove for very cold weather — fully waterproof, durable, well-designed, and made exclusively with high-end materials.
