I bought these gloves in XL, which is my normal size. These gloves were the tightest XL ski gloves I’ve ever worn. Also the fingers were short. The tag says XL but they fit more like a large or even a medium. Most reviews of these gloves are very positive; I’m wondering if I received some kind of anomaly?? These gloves seem well made otherwise.

Warm and dry

Keept my hands dry and warm no matter the conditions from freezing rains, to sub zero temps. Removal liner is a nice feature

Survived an ice storm on Cayambe in these

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was in a near 10-hour ice storm while summiting and descending Cayambe. Put these on as my mid-layer gloves became drenched from all the wet. These gloves rehabbed my hands back to warm and kept them warm from summit back to base!

Tighter than expected

Can't truly rate these gloves because I had to return them. They fit a lot tighter than I was expecting after using the measurement guide.

Great all round glove

It's my second pair. Work great in temps around 0C.

Above and beyond

Gloves were wind and waterproof during 48 hours of digging trench in rain snow hail & mud + week of use in the field. Only reason I could not use these gloves at the end of the 48 hour period was because it was so caked in mud that I could not grab the shovel and pickaxe. After being dried out it was good to go. It has exceeded my expectation and will be my go-to gloves for any kind of cold wet weather.

To soon

Use a variety of OR gear. This pair is to replace a pair that after many years, fingertips are splitting. Won't get the field test until next winter. Anticipate 5 star when AT skiing. Thank you. Always happy with quality, knowledge, service.

Solid choice

All-around winter glove for use in Alaska - primarily winter fatbiking. Have also used for snowblowing, other outdoor activities. Have used them in single-digit weather, but not below zero (yet). I've found them to be very warm, depending on level of activity. For more passive activities like riding a 4-wheeler, I didn't find them to be impressively warm, but for active use - biking for example, they're great. The inner gloves are useful, though the touchscreen capability seems hit or miss which can be frustrating. The gloves are very warm without the liner. I didn't read closely enough that the palms and backs are leather which doesn't thrill me, but thus far (several bike trips) it hasn't been a negative.

Third pair

I just love those glove. The fact that there is a insert pair of grove makes all the difference to me. Easy to clean, warm and long enough to cover your jacket sleeve.

Flimsy

I owned these gloves for a little over two weeks and the finger tips ripped and came apart. The material is not reinforced and cannot handle even light work. Customer service offered to send me tape...
