Good Gloves
I bought these gloves as a light-weight ski glove for when the big gloves are too much. These are so warm and waterproof and windproof that I ended up using them all the time. They have also become my bicycle gloves of choice for cold (California) weather because they are impervious to wind. I like everything about this glove: the style, the fit, the toughness. I've been using them for three years, for both skiing (not too much) and cycling (lots), and they're great. They are warmer than one might expect. Strongly recommended.
Solid Glove
Been using these gloves for a year. Daily dog walks, cold weather cycling and backpacking. They have preformed great and have held up well. Still in great condition. They're great for temps between 35 and 50. I'm looking for something not quite so warm for cycling on cool mornings during late spring/early fall. If temp is below 35, I go with warmer gloves, but the dexterity on these are amazing. GREAT product.
Good gloves
Got these a month or so ago, I've used them while shoveling / snow blowing in the cold. They're not as warm as I'd like, but I'd say good to 15 degrees F or so. As long as I'm working my hands feel warm, but when I stop I can feel the cold seeping in. The Velcro strap is kind of bulky. If I need to take the gloves on and off it's a hassle.
Versatile gloves
These are my goto winter gloves for snow clearing and winter bike commuting. I was looking for something versatile and a good price. These gloves accomplish both. They do well on the bike down to temps around 20 degrees. I purchased a Large size and the fingers feel a little short. I may exchange for the XL.
Great gloves!
I didn't expect much from these, they are lightweight. Turned out to be my favorite glove, I need to get a stash of these. Very durable, I used these for winter camping in Upper Michigan, where I live, and for clearing the drive way, dog walks... After a year of hard use, I had to throw them away because the right glove was tore up from tug of war and fetch with my pitbull. The left glove had no tears.
So far, so good
I bought these for everyday use as opposed to outdoor pursuits because I already own sport-specific gloves. They seem well-built and durable. Not sure why glove makers continue to add small buckles for joining the gloves together - does anyone actually use them? Overall, I think these gloves are pretty good and the price was very reasonable.
glove runs small
I bought the largest size available, XL, so I could add liners if needed. My hands are not linebacker size and the glove just fits. Clearly the sizing is off. Also the Velcro wrist closers are two short. On the good side the glove is warm enough for 0 degree morning dog walks and CC skiing. I would recommend with caveats mentioned.
Ok but other gloves are better
Bought these for days when its not too cold but gloves are still required. Unfortunately, these aren't that great. The cuffs, even when the Velcro is on the largest opening, are still too narrow to go over a soft shell sleeve, so pretty much they are only good if I'm wearing a sweatshirt and the cuffs can go over that. Also, they actually have very little warmth to them so they don't do much to keep your hands warm. Recommend getting something different.
Minimalist...in keeping hands warm
The way it is sewn doesn't let you flex your thumb so it feels somewhat restrictive. I bought the glove because they were light and minimal, but they are not very hepful in keeping your hands warm at temps lower than 20, or holding a cold steering wheel or snowblower. I also cannot remember seeing any information about temps on the packaging, but I supposed I could get some liners and it would help.
Great Pair of Gloves
I have had two pairs of these gloves and am buying my third pair for the up coming Winter. I use these gloves all Winter long whether shoveling or just out for a walk. I like them because they all be to keep my dexterity, while at the same time keeping my hands very warm. As good as they are, I wish the durability was a bit better. I typically go through a set ever Winter or so.
