Smartwool  Spring Gloves

I bought these gloves several years ago when I lived in Seattle, where the winters are rainy and very cold, and I needed something to save my hands while dog walking. Though they would get wet, they dried out easily. But what I loved most was that they were warm, and they come in XS sizing, which is so difficult to find! And, the fit is terrific. I now live in Park City, UT, and I love these gloves just as much. Looking to buy a pair for someone else, as a Christmas present, because I love mine so much. I first bought the light colored pair for myself, but then bought the black pair as a back up, because I don't want to be without them!!

I like the design and function of these gloves. I probably should have bought one size larger. My only beef is that they are not water proof, and not really even water resistant. Water leaked into the glove through the seams in the fingers while I was clearing snow off my windshield. Two fingers were soaked inside the glove, and it took two days to dry out completely. But they did eventually dry and I keep them in my coat pocket for wearing when its cold and dry.

These were my go-to glove for backcountry skiing in the Tetons during the record winter of 2022/23. I wore them on everything from walking dogs to pre-dawn backcountry skinning in -7 F weather. I did wear holes in the fingertips after only one day of mountaineering with ice axes. Can't really fault the gloves as that's a rough environment and I would definitely buy them again. Very supple leather, good dexterity.

We bought these specifically for cold weather hiking in our area that has lots of rock crevices. They are perfect on the rock, soft and cozy inside and not too tight that I can't get a thin liner underneath. They are super slippery at first until they wear in a bit and now that we've roughed your the grain we use a leather wax on them once in a while to retain the weather resistance. #SmartwoolLove

I specifically bought these gloves for outdoors work, and they are mostly great other than they are not quite as warm as I expected. I live in NY, and cold winter days can be pretty brutal. I'm going to wear a liner glove though to hopefully get a little extra warmth, but other than that I love these gloves. They give me some good protection from the elements, and give me more dexterity.

I am a mitten person due to working in the outdoors all my life. My fingers can get chilled and usually need the warm up of mittens but I thought I would give these a try. I have only used them a handful of times so far and ordered up in size to fit wool liner gloves just in case. The fit and design is great and comfortable. It will take a while to know durability.

Wore these for a weekend trip from NY to Ohio, through bitter cold and snow. The gloves performed excellently and were soft and warm. They kept my hands dry as well. The only downside is the dexterity at the fingertips could have been improved and the elastic wrist strap gets caught up inside the glove from time to time when putting them on.

I wear these gloves everyday around town during the winter -- I shovel snow in them but i don't use them for mountaineering or ice climbing -- even though the Trail Ridge Sherpa gloves cost more I prefer these because the fabric on the back and sides is smooth rather than fleece, the gloves don't attract snow

Poor fit stitching. One glove had a finger that was way too small. The other had an uncomfortable fold of material under the thumb/index finger area that made it almost impossible to grip a pole or hadlebar. Only gets a second star because they look great and COULD be awesome if they ever sew them right.

The construction of these gloves is amazing. The fingers are pretty tight out of the package though. The padding/insulation makes the fingers feel too small. I know they will pack out and be great, but it's gonna take a little while. Love the style and warmth though
