Outdoor Research  Stormtracker Sensor Gloves - Men's

I have about 6 pairs of Outdoor Research gloves so far because they always seem to perform and fit the best compared to other brands. However, these gloves had mixed performance. I wore these during a summit climb recently, and slipped them on over my liner gloves when light rain showers rolled in. Despite being made with Gore-Tex, they soaked through and my hands were pretty wet after a bit. Other than that, the materials performed great and didn't shred during scrambles and climbing, are comfortable, and have decent dexterity. I would definitely recommend them, but don't count on them to keep your hands perfectly dry when it starts raining.

I love these gloves and they have gotten better as I broke them in. I use them for ski touring in Colorado. From cold alpine starts to full sun and temps above freezing I am able to wear them and be comfortable most of the time on the uptrack and on the downhill for the warmer end of that spectrum. My only complaint is that they tend to slip down the hand a bit because they lack a wrist cinch. This seems to be a problem I have had less as they broke in or I just got used to it. I tend to be someone who likes to have things snug so if that's not you don't worry about it at all. If you are picky like me maybe find a way to try them on first.

I mostly use these for biking in cool weather, though they're not bike-specific. in the roughly 25-50 degrees Fahrenheit range. the cuff is long enough to keep my wrists from being exposed when my sleeves creep back up my arms a little bit from stretching out to the handlebars. I mostly don't bother to zip them unless it's especially cold or windy. I can sort of operate a touch screen with these on, but not with anything resembling precision. maybe setting a device to geriatric mode would help. my only complaint is that they aren't completely waterproof. then again, they weren't presented as waterproof, so it's hard to get too worked up about that.

These gloves are great for active winter days! I BC ski in Alaska and always looking for the right glove for chilly winter days as were often touring below 0. Yesterday it was 0 degrees at the car, 15 degrees above the inversion layer and breezy further up. The gloves provided the right amount of insulation, moisture management, and wind protection. The gauntlet is nice for the wrists and they are easy on and off. Construction seems great OR quality. Considering getting another pair. I'll probably just pair these with my OR shell mitts for the rest of the winter. Also good for standard cold day things like scraping ice/snow off the car, walking the dog etc.

This glove is perfect for those early and late season ski days where you don't want to sweat in your deep winter gloves. They've kept my hands warm and dry very well in the snow, way better than the ones I returned for these that were splitting apart after just a few uses. If the temperature gets a little lower, you can slip a liner under these gloves and get another 10 degrees or so out of them, after which you'd want to wear bigger gloves anyway. For reference, I've worn these down to about 20 degrees without liners and had warm hands all day. If you're in the market for lightweight ski gloves, these are a great choice. My one complaint is the extra room in the pointer finger makes it more difficult to use touchscreens, but it is by no means impossible, and when you put a liner under the glove, it snugs that finger right up.

This would absolutely be the best intermediate weather gloves for mountaineering, skiing and general backcountry cold weather use if it weren't for the misproportioned finger lengths. It's so far off of standard glove sizing I'm accustomed to, that it's maddening they chose this sizing and ruined an otherwise perfect glove. For example, take a look at your hand with your fingers straightened. If your index, middle and ring fingers are all the same length or your middle finger is slightly shorter, you'll be good. If your index or ring fingers are shorter than your middle finger, the glove will be excessively long on those fingers, by at least the length difference from your middle finger. The specific gloves I received has the middle finger as the shortest of those three fingers, which is the opposite of my hand. The overall sizing seems great in other areas, given the gloves intent. I normally wear a medium glove and they fit well enough (but slightly loose) in other areas with just enough room to fit a liner glove underneath without being too tight (which is exactly what I wanted & dual purpose).

Best balance of waterproof, durability, and dexterity. I took these on a field training exercise in the middle of a snow storm near the Great Lakes with the military. Was literally burying my hand in snow to test these gloves and my hands never lost circulation or got wet. These are now my favorite winter gloves. The entire design is very durable and handles working in thick vegetation very well. The leather fingers and palm allow me to work with hot weapons and equipment. The zipper for the wrist is very durable and seals the glove very well. The wrist is longer than all my standard military gloves and prevents my lower arm from being exposed to wind. Cannot recommend this glove enough.

Wanted to love these gloves. The leather palm is great. Zipper on wrist allows for a snug seal. Dexterity of these things could be off the charts. Listen to all the other reviews (I didn’t read before purchase). The thumb and fore finger were about .5” longer than all the other digits. So, three fingers fit perfect and the other two make this glove a no-go. Wish this wasn’t so, because they could be a great glove.

These are fantastic winter scrambling gloves! Pick up a fleece liner to go with them and they're acceptably warm. I sometimes wear thicker gloves when I'm just hiking for better warmth but once I reach a section where any scrambling/climbing is required then I switch to these because they can take an incredible beating compared to any other gloves I've tried. They do eventually wear out after sustained, aggressive use but I've gone through a few pair of these over the years and keep coming back because I've trashed many other gloves after one or two outings but these can usually go a full season or more of aggressive snow scrambles before some of the fingers or thumbs eventually bust open.

The tips of the fingers have extra material which brings the sizing chart into question. I wear medium for everything and based my selection off the sizing chart. The extra material at the tips is a bit annoying and certainly does not allow for any precision dexterity or phone use. I find myself constantly pulling the gloves towards my wrist to get the proper fit in the fingertips. While they are comfortable, lightweight and wind resistant, they are not much help for temps less than 40 degrees. I do like the look, feel and durability. Consider buying a size smaller than usual.
