Outdoor Research  Sureshot Soft-Shell Gloves - Men's

These gloves have amazing fit and dexterity. When I first tried them on, I had to get them. They actually do fit like a glove! Nice long cuff to cover your wrist with good stretch. They’re not the warmest gloves. A bit warmer than fleece but better protection. They’ll probably be good for spring skiing. A couple of minor annoyances: the small loop attached to the cuff is pretty annoying and useless so I cut it off. Also, the clasps are placed in an odd position, almost on the palm. As for the touchscreen fingers- like most gloves, not very good.

The cons first. The gloves run large and the thumb is peculiarly long. I ordered a medium after measuring my hand and using the size guide which put me squarely in a medium. My fingers have about 1/4" extra at the tip which isn't a bad thing but could be a closer fit for my taste. That said, the thumbs have 1/2" extra space at the tips. The thumbs even look peculiarly long from the outside of the glove. I'm mot sure what human was used to model the gloves, but their thumbs are much too long for an average person. For this reason I'd suggest sizing down. The pros. The gloves appear quality in build material and stitching and are quite warm in 20° weather. The dual layer is much appreciated.

I live in North Idaho, so weather can vary greatly during the fall/winter. I have used this glove for things as simple as scraping ice off of my windows, shoveling snow, hiking, running in cold weather, walking the dog, and upland bird hunting. The fit allows for easy use of the hands and I can even shoot the shotgun with the glove on. It keeps my hands warm down in the 20s. It is designed (IMO) for active use, so I don't it would be a good glove for sitting in temps below mid 20s. I like the glove so much I ordered a few pairs. I plan to keep a pair in my Jeep and spread the rest across my various gear kits. Great glove!!

Good quality but the fingers are too long. This makes using them difficult. The rest of the fit is very good.

I personally had no trouble with my hands fitting but experience obviously differs per person to person but if you have a small hand with the width roughly 12cm, small size should fit you (did quick measure from bottom of your pinky to about mid section of thumb, obviously not the right measuring method tho).

Having been involved with the outdoor retail industry for over 25 years, I'm no stranger to the quality product from OR. That being said, I have many pairs of OR gloves for different seasons/pursuits. It wasn't a gamble getting the Sureshot soft shell gloves in my size. (Their fit is consistent through the glove category. What I didn't expect is how much I would end up using them. Cold weather bike commuting, shoveling snow, walking the dogs and of course the perfect mid-weight glove for the backcountry. I'd like another pair just to stretch the life over the next several years. Highly Recommend!

It’s getting colder here in Alaska, and I wanted a good pair of gloves to block the wind and repel rain. I’ve only used them for a couple of days so far, but they’ve kept my hands warm and comfortable. I haven’t had the chance to test them in rain or really wet conditions yet, but overall I like them so far.

I bought these for everyday wear in 30-50 degree weather of all sorts and they do not disappoint. Some of the best general purpose gloves daily use gloves I have ever had for keeping my hands warm. I have a whole collection of gloves, including others from OR, that do not meet that goal. I suspect that those reviewers that find fault with warmth or wind resistance simply did not get the right fit for their particular hand shape. These gloves are water-resistant (not proof) for up to two hours and did allow me to check my phone but just barely, so keep those expectations reasonable. They are comfortable and let me work outside for a long time with comfortably warm and flexible hands. Buying more so I can clean the non-performers out.

Bought gloves hoping they were going to be grey blue like they are in the picture. Unfortunately the gloves that came in are just grey. Great gloves but very misleading picture.
