      Comments about Swany X-Change Gloves - Men's:

      Good gloves for cold days at the resort or backcountry. I bought these as they are very pliable and hope to use them ice climbing. They fit very true to size, so if you want a liner, I would suggest going up a size.

      Comments about Swany X-Change Gloves - Men's:

      The gloves is nice and warm...until you start having fun in the snow. The main problem with these gloves is that the outerlayer not very water resistant. The outerlayer will soak up the water and freeze (occured ~10F snowshoeing + snow play). While the inside remained dry and protected, the glove soaked up too much moisture in a short period of time. The leather is also fairly soft and can get beat up on rough surface (eg. trees & rocks). The quality doesn't quite reflect the price.

          Great all around glove. Only thing I would change is to have the wrist section have a gaitor or sleeve that would go up higher as I do get snow leaking in from time to time.

            Comments about Swany X-Change Gloves - Men's:

            Bought these for my boyfriend for winter snowmobiling. Fit was perfect and he used them this weekend far up North in New Hampshire. Temps were around 0 and he rode for 3+ hours and came back dry and warm. Said he had to turn his handgrip heaters off because his hands were getting too warm. Very happy with this buy.

              Comments about Swany X-Change Gloves - Men's:

              These gloves are absolutely fantastic. Very warm, totally waterproof and windproof and have great straps so you don't loose them and a cover to go over or under your coat and then tighten so you don't get snow or water down the opening of the glove.

              I love them, they are very warm, and even when it was at it's coldest outside I quite often had the vents open...

                Best ski glove I have. Most other gloves are too bulky, but this one fits perfectly in the ski pole grip. Nice and warm without being too hot. Super easy to adjust and remove.

                  Comments about Swany X-Change Gloves - Men's:

                  My old pair of Swany's wore out after 16 years so I needed a replacement pair. I had tried a pair of Burton gloves but they did not work out. I finally found these gloves which are pretty much the up-to-date version of my old ones. Couldn't be happier.
