Sizing has changed significantly. Size Medium - I have an older pair that are the best fitting mid-temp ice climbing gloves that I have ever owned. I ordered two more pairs to have spares for years to come. The new sizing is crazy. Can almost fit two fingers in the index finger, middle finger is tight, pinky finger is too short, all other fingers have an extra 1/2" to 3/4" in length compared to the old sizing. The change is a huge bummer. I have owned a LOT of gloves, not sure how anyone could have hands shaped like this. Contacted OR and they sent me a replacement pair as warranty which was awesome. Unfortunately they are also weird.
the length of the fingers is not for a normal human
I really wanted to like these. The sizing is off. Some fingers are too long and others are just right. Screen tapping doesn’t work well due to index finger being too long.
I wanted something lightweight, like the Mont Blanc gloves, but thought I'd try these. They didn't work for me. No gloves I've tried are really waterproof, and these were no exception. And as usual, once wetted out, they were impossible to get back on after taking off to eat lunch. I'm returning them. But they might work for you. The build quality seemed first rate - as you might expect for $80!
Like others have mentioned, OR did something weird with the sizing. With the index and thumb being weirdly long and loose, I couldn't grab the gauntlet zipper without removing the glove. These gloves are advertised as "designed for windproof dexterity and warmth in cold, windy environments." But in order to experience the dexterity feature they have to be removed. They lose 3 stars because they are no longer warm, water resistant, nor windproof in this configuration. Correct the fit and I think they're a 5 star glove.
I bought these last winter to use for ski touring an I’ve been very happy with them. I usually just wear a thin fleece liner on the skin track up and put these on (over the liner) for the ride down or if the weather is nasty. I haven’t used these in really cold conditions, but they keep me warm well into the low 20s / high teens( with a liner). They aren’t the warmest gloves out there though, so if you are not active in really cold conditions you probably want something warmer. I have long fingers so for me the fit is spot on.
Sizing is way off. Fingers are too long/short, depending on the digit. Palm area is too shallow to allow your palm to fit correctly, feels like they are pulling off. Warmth is questionable as well. Ended up giving away to a fellow coworker…
These were purchased for a trip up to Canada in January. I spent a good deal of time outside in -15°F (-27°C) and these gloves kept my hands dry and warm. I got the medium and I initially thought they were slightly too small, but they loosened up pretty quickly and they fit very well now.
I'm a U.S. Marine. I've used this newer version of the Stromtracker Sensor glove as well as one of the older versions. ABSOLUTELY LOVE THEM. Their leather palm is tough enough but still dexterous enough to work with tools and weapons in below-freezing temperatures and i never once had to worry about my hands getting wet in the foot-deep snow (sucky field op). I paired them with DEI-brand glove inserts and it was PERFECT! Couldn't recommend these enough!
This is my second pair, and I have to say that the medium’s fingers are noticeably longer and less snug than my first pair of medium’s - which is a hassle for alpine and ice climbing, where dexterity is important (e.g., clipping carabiners). I still have my old pair (circa 2016 version) and confirmed they’re mediums (tag still shows M/M). I’m a little disappointed. The snugger fit is better for climbing-related use.
