Arc'teryx  Fission SV Gloves

They are definitely not classic Alpha SV gloves from the ~2012, they are all one piece, extremely big, I am wearing Alpha SL gloves under and slipping in to Fission SV like in to butter, (If you plan to use them just with liner you should definitely size down), as I will be using them mostly in Tatras maybe Alps(budget will tell), I am happy that I can wear Alpha SL/Rope gloves under as a lot of trail in Tatras have chains, and it will be handy to just remove Fission SV keeping gloves for ropes and chains under. Quality is very good, although I would not except them to be better then Alpha SV from around 2012 for anything bigger then Alps as they dont have a hard outter shell, I am still happy about these gloves being available and hoping to see Alpha SV gloves in future even without any updates to them. Post comments if you want more pictures.

Ski patrol here. These gloves seriously lack dexterity because of the thick leather located in the palm and the fingers. The leather is also to slippery to properly hold tools in cold weather. Situation that did not happened with the older version of these gloves. I could tie knots with the old one. In no circumstances I can do the same thing with the new version. Also, the new version feels like putting my hand in a plastic bag with no insulation although the material list looks promising. The liner of the old version was softer and a bit fluffier. Pl ease! Please! bring back the original Fission SV gloves. I'll be the first in line. Picture of old and new below

This product experienced a shock cord anchor issue on its first use during alpine skiing in A-Basin, Colorado, USA. This is an issue that should not happen in the product’s practical lifespan. This issue is a wear and tear issue on its first day of use, and that is the reason for a rating of 1 star.

I've used these about a half-dozen times at our local ski hill in Southeast Alaska in a variety of conditions (rain/snow mix, heavy snow, cold/dry) and it has excelled in all conditions thus far. I love the minimalist wrist leashes as I like to use my electronics on the lift and it's great to not worry about donating a glove to the snow gods while doing so. The cuff tighten/loosen mechanism is awesome as well! I think these run just a tiny bit large so if you're between sizes and you aren't trying it on in a store, sizing down might be a good option especially if you never plan on wearing liner gloves under these.

I need warm gloves for winter mountain bike riding. These are the best I've found. Another plus is the padded palm.

Arcteryx brand has become a joke and the designers lack the ability to implement features that would make their products expensive AND USEFUL, instead they’re just expensive. These gloves are some of the worst fit and design I’ve owned and I’ve owned many a glove. First, according to their size chart I should be wearing a medium or large but instead I have a pair of XS, YES Extra small! And the fingers are still too long. Arcteryx has never had congruency in their garment sizing but this is on a comical level because these are unisex and I’m 6’0” tall so I feel for those who are much smaller and want a pair of gloves to fit. The design itself lacks any standard innovation like an ergonomically curved palm so you don’t get material bunching in the palm. As soon as you start to make a slight bend of the fingers all the bulk bunches up making grip useless.

Very disappointed with these gloves as all my other gear from this brand is 10/10. I was skiing for 3 days and the seams around the fingers had been ripped open. I was sure that this must have been an issue with the product itself as I had not being doing anything abnormal or using them in a way that there weren't designed for. When I went to read the warranty policy it pretty well listed every conceivable thing that could happen (rips, tears and abrasions) are not covered by warranty. I thought that a glove of such considerable value would be able to handle more than 3 days of downhill skiing without being wrecked. Very disappointed by the durability of this product which is unfortunate.

These are the first Arc’teryx product that I haven’t loved. I purchased them discounted for final sale based on rave third party reviews about dexterity and warmth. I find them lacking in both categories. I chose the same size as my Venta AR gloves (large) and found my hands swimming in the extra half inch per finger that these have. The design is also not great for keeping these on the proper place on your wrists so the problem is exacerbated as they slide down. These are marginally warmer than the Venta AR, but are not as warm as most other gloves I have tried in this price range. Purchased the mitt version for my wife and she seems to like, but not love, them. And she’s an Arc’teryx fan girl, so…

I wear these while Alpine skiing. They have two features that make them great. First, there are loops on the gloves that go around my wrists, allowing me to remove the gloves and not worry about holding on to them. They stay attached to my wrists while I’m not wearing them. Second, their cuff is quite wide and can easily go over my jacket sleeves, then there is a cord I can pull with to tighten them up, creating a secure closure. Slick, and nicely implemented. They’re also warm and comfy. I haven’t used them when it was below -5C yet but I’m optimistic they’ll do just fine.

Comfiest belay gloves. They are warm, dexterous and durable. You could even use them for Mountaineering where you don't need to do a lot of technical climbing I applied Nikwax Leatherproof to prolong their life.
