Outdoor Research Zenith Glove - 2008 BCS

The sizing on these gloves is weird. The glove is too tight around my hand and too long on the fingers. I had to exchange one size for the other so the glove would fit my hand and now the fingers are too long. My hands are not odd shaped. Typically I am a fan or OR gloves...not these

Its a nice glove, size runs a little bit small. I tried them for skiing and they were alright but not that good. they were awesome for mountaineering though

Looking for a warm glove with a lot of dexterity I was initially excited about the Zenith Glove by OR. The first pair I had were a medium and they were way too small (my fingers actually hurt with the gloves on). I exchanged them for a large but I still had problems getting in and out of the gloves. If you're not careful when taking your hand out of the removable liner, you can pull the lining back and it's nearly impossible to get your fingers back into the glove. The grippy palm of the removable liner also causes too much friction at the shell, making the process of putting the shell on and off really difficult.
I spent one hour in sustained 30 degree weather and my hands were cold. I was reasonably active within that hour so I had plenty of circulation going in my hands. The only good thing about this glove is the dexterity. The leash feature is cool and the grippy palm on the shell is nice. I've always been a fan of Outdoor Research gear but I will be returning these gloves for a refund.
