Honestly, I was disappointed in these gloves. I used them once while on a military exercise and had to switch them out for my leather, insulated pair. Despite their rating, I found that they weren't made for keeping hands warm at all, even if it was only -5 C. I just don't mess around when it's winter in Canada. Perhaps when you're constantly active they're better, but there are times when we're waiting around outside or more static. I also found the orange wrist leash annoying, but at least it's removeable.
I bought these as a backcountry ski, warm ski, cold weather running glove. They fit great and are low profile. They are also surprisingly warm for how thin they are. I've been a big fan of my limited use so far but definitely recommend them for anyone looking for some fast and light but warm gloves.
These gloves run small, I guess. I normally fit a large just fine, but these are a bit tight across the palm. I find that gloves with leather palms tend to shrink over time (leather shrinks when it dries), so I definitely don't want them to start out small. Otherwise, they look like nice gloves.
Don't listen to the negative reviews about them being cold. They are clearly advertised as active use, and show a person trail running. They won't keep your hands warm in static cold and aren't meant to. Fit well and definitely warm enough for their purpose.
Very disappointed in these; below freezing hands get cold very quickly. I purchsed them expecting the best from OR; not so much. A couple of glove liner pairs necessary for them to function in cold, not just cool weather. I would return them if I could.
These gloves are well made but they don't keep my hands very warm. I also like my glove/mitten cuffs over my jacket sleeves and these cuffs aren't great for that.
Warm, but fit super small. I have large hands and am barely squeezingpast the wrists. Palms are small,fingers are narrow and short. Not buying these again.
I love OR Gear, but I returned these same gloves for the same reason as the other review. Too small, and I ordered an XL.
