Gloves are hard to review because everybody's hands are so different. I found the fingers to be a little long for my hand and longer and skinnier than how the standard OR medium size fits my hand on their other gloves I own. I think the glove material on the palm is great and the extended reinforcements between the thumb and forefinger are super utilitarian. The material thickness on the back of the hand might be a little thinner than I'd prefer, but it still works well. I picked this glove in this case for the reinforcements and the white color on the back of the hand.
I got these as just a general glove for winter walks/runs with my dog and decided to try them out as a touring glove yesterday. I was really pleased to find that they worked great. Conditions were relatively mild, some cold snow falling so it wasn't your typical PNW slop, but the gloves held up great. My hands stayed warm, incredible dexterity and I didn't have to take them off a single time, was able to pull out my phone and navigate to OnX and look at the map. Will be interesting to see how they fair in slightly wetter conditions but overall was very impressed.
I live in northeast Ohio, where they saying goes, "if you don't like the weather, wait ten minutes." :P That said, I have a plethora of gear to accommodate the varying temps. These are now part of my quiver, a fantastic glove in the 40's and humidity for all around use (driving, rucking, etc.) The fit is incredible, the grip is excellent on my steering wheel, and the touch screen compatibility is great. Of course, they look great, too. Can't say enough good things about these gloves!
First time using these gloves was on a hike to long lake in Colorado. Winter winds were horrendous but hardly noticeable with these on. They offer enough protection to keep hands warm but don't hinder any hand movements. I was able to setup my photography gear with the gloves on and found them to be very comfortable. Overall a great buy.
These are exactly what I needed for light hiking use in colder weather. I'd go heavier duty in 20 degree or lower, but these are great for milder cold and the phone touch works great.
I’ve used these once so far for cross-country skiing at -3 degrees Celsius. My fingers were cold to start but warmed up and didn’t get sweaty. Happy with them so far!
I was looking for a relatively lightweight glove that would provide enough wind resistance for cold weather biking and running and these gloves were perfect.
The index fingertip is pointed and rigid and so it works really really well with using touchscreens precisely. Very dextrous.
Warm enough and water repellent enough to keep my hands comfortable for those sweet days when skiing big corn moguls!
The gloves are every runner's dream
