I have not yet used these gloves (quality of material/work looks nice) this is just a warning about the sizing. According to the size chart I should have fit in a medium. After reading the reviews saying the sizing was small I ordered a large to be safe. I got the gloves in today and I can only get my right hand in the gloves, and barely at that. Probably should have ordered 2 sizes over recommended and got the XL. Left hand doesn't fit in the left glove at all. My hands are not differently sized, the gloves are different circumferences at the wrist. I can get either hand into the right glove but neither can begin to get into the left glove. I have always been a Mountain Hardwear fan but they have some quality control and sizing issues with this product. Definitely returning.

These gloves are definitely not for spring. They are very warm and soft. As others have said they run small. I ordered a large glove based off the size chart, but definitely needed a XL.

I've been wearing last year's model with the more leather-looking exterior, which I personally think looks much better than the all black version out this season. I assume not much has changed other than they put the velcro wrist tab under the wrist as opposed to over.



I have been wearing the Compulsion gloves in bounds at Alta and in the backcountry. At first, they were stiff and uncomfortable which is pretty standard with new leather. But after about 5 ski days, they have softened up real good and are now molded to the shape of my hands. The fingers also have flex at the knuckles, which allows for really good dexterity out of the gate. I also really like the pull on web loop at the wrist for easy on, especially when I am trying to get the second glove on with a gloved hand.



On the inside, the gloves are very soft and fleecy. The first day out, they actually felt too small, even though the sample is a size medium, which I have always worn. But after a few uses, the inside liner has packed down and the gloves now fit perfect.



Of course warmth is the most important element when choosing a good ski glove. Initially, because of the stiff and tight quality of the leather, my fingers were cold, probably from poor blood circulation. But now that the gloves are broken in and the liner is packed out a bit, I can safely say the Compulsion are even warmer than my Kincos. I have skied in temperatures down to the teens and those finger tips have stayed warm and dry.



Since winter in Utah is pretty dry, I've not had a good opportunity to test the waterproof qualities of the glove. So I put them on and ran them under the bathtub faucet. Water never penetrated inside the glove, so I think it is safe to say they will perform valiantly during wet, spring days.
