Outdoor Research Gripper Glove - Women's - 2007 BCS

Gloves are working great, but I could have probably bought a small for my wife instead of the medium. The gloves either run a tad large or my wife's hands have shrunk.

I originally bought these gloves for skiing, but they were too thin. So, I'm just using them for everyday wear. They are great for driving and being active outside. They are a snug fit, which I like, you don't have to take them off to do little tasks.

I bought these as a gift, so this is not going to cover any personal use experience.
My friend joined me on a hiking trip and she was using a borrowed pair of $2 knit gloves which, needless to say, didn't provide a whole lot of warmth or wind protection. I ordered this pair in light blue so she'd have something worth covering her hands with. when they arrived a couple things impressed me. First, the gloves are not as bulky as they look. The material is quite thin and soft, but knowing the quality of the brand, I expect it should perform well in the elements regardless. The next thing I noticed is the SureGrip palm. Maybe I'm out of the loop on modern glove technology, but I was expecting some sort of stippled platic... not so. The palm is a matted material, like felt, buy really grippy. I'f I didn't already have a nice pair of lightweight gloves, I'd surely consider these for myself.... the mens version though.
