Fairbanks Fingerless Glove - Men's

Comfortable and sturdy

Bought these gloves for my boyfriend and he loves them. Are warm and thick in the palms but allow your fingers to move and be free. Great purchase

Best purchase I've made on gear this year

A great compromise in order to operate devices, use your finger dexterity, etc. They work great as liners to my ski gloves as well.

Partial Gloves, Wholly Perfect!

While these gloves are lacking some digits, (half of 10, to be exact), they make up for it in their absolute warmth and comfort. The wool used for these gloves is both sleek and comfy -- no itchy ragwool here! I love using fingerless gloves for most of the moderate-temperature NC hunting season, and have had bulky, itchy, loose fingerless gloves in the past. Not so with these babies! One downside though, they are not fireproof -- they do still singe if you get them too close to the fire while taking your coffee off the boil. :)

Love these for Ice Fishing

I use these gloves ice fishing all winter. I specifically like them for Lake Nipissing, in Ontario. It gets super cold (-30C) there and the wool keeps my hands warm if I'm unhooking a walleye, or setting up my hub. The open fingers still let's me put minnows on hooks, take walleye off hooks or crack my next beer. I love them! I think their only downside is they shrink VERY easily. As soon as they shrink, they do not fit my hands at all. So hand wash the minnow juice and walleye slim off them. But hands down best gloves. They're also great for adding a heat pad inside if you're hole hopping and chasing down walleye.

The sizing is an issue but other than that good.

I made a good call. I usually wear a size large OR glove if it has fingers, but on these I chose the S/M. Honestly even that feels a little big. These should be made in the standard sizing as the other gloves and made to fit a little tighter.

Great except big holes after 1 year

They'd be perfect if they were durable, but both hands started developing holes near the base of the thumb after about 9 months. By 12 months there were the size of a quarter, even though I only use them while typing, walking, and other casual daily activities. I'd happily pay more for them if they would last 5+ years (maybe add a leather patch over the palm area?).

My fiance loves these!

Familiarity:

I've put it through the wringer

My fiance loves these! He used them a TON while we were ice fishing this season. They work perfectly. Highly recommend. Quality is great and warmth is great for what they are!

Warm and soft

Soft and durable fingerless gloves have proven hard to find over the years. Yet, they're essential to my comfort when working with my hands in cold temps, and dexterity is needed. These are the best ones I've found yet, thanks for making a great product OR!

A rugged, tightly woven glove

I bought these to replace a pair of military surplus fingerless gloves that I had worn out. These are an excellent replacement. They are tightly woven; good for windy days. I do wish they came in more than two sizes. The S/M were initially very tight, but have stretched out some. The L/XL were too large. A M/L size would be prefect.

Perfect gloves for everyday

Great warmth and great function. All you could hope for!
