This is an addition to my previous review entitled "exactly what I was looking for". While I still feel that these provide and awesome amount of insulation for their low weight and bulk, I'm extremely disappointed with the durability. I have had to stitch up holes in almost all of the fingers, and I've been wearing these for only a couple of months. Good warmth and fit, poor longevity. When it's time to replace these (after I can no longer stitch the fingers) I will not buy Arc'teryx. For reference I am using these strictly as a liner underneath an insulated leather ski glove, not as a contact glove.

This is a great liner glove. Merino wool is the future, tell your friends. It's warm, it breathes, and its soft on the skin. These liners are very thin, they fit under my outer gloves perfectly, but they provide an astonishing amount of insulation. For comparison, these are about as thick as an Icebreaker 190 weight shirt. Highly recommended.

The construction and fit of these Gothic gloves is pretty solid overall, and they are rather comfy to wear. Unfortunately, the merino wool they are made out of seems to be more prone to snagging than my other merino garments (Icebreaker products) do, and they don't seem as tough as Powerstretch does. I feel as though I am going to tear them apart by accident sooner than later. These gloves are much thinner than I was expecting and are really only suitable for 32+ F days with no wind standalone, or as a liner.
On the positive side, they wick and cool the hand amazingly and feel just wonderful to wear.
Overall, these are a perfect wicking liner for a shell glove or mitt, with a little less insulation than a Powerstretch liner.

At first, I was impressed with the fit and comfort of these gloves. HOWEVER... within the first 10 days of using these gloves, it already has a hole in one of the fingertips. After about 10 more days, most of the fingers now have holes.

I simply use them as an liner for downhill skiing. I don't use them for anything that would accelerate the wear on the gloves prematurely. I've had other glove liners which have lasted much much longer.

These are just awesome, I tend to freeze a lot and these were wonderful. They fit really perfect, perfect to wear under another pair giving you that extra airspace and the wool i superb with the thinsulate extra thing in them, remember wool detergent. They are not to be worn alone, but underneath another pair. Used them while away skiing and they were perfect for cold weather.

Picked up these Arc'teryx Gothic Lightweight Gloves a couple months ago. They're a great base layer when you're on the hill. No clamminess or sweating. They would be useless on their own though, unless you're walking around the house. Not remotely windproof - not that I was expecting this. Just making sure folks know.

I use the Gothic gloves as a glove liner under my normal ski gloves. For that purpose they are great! They fit my hand well, and the they're actually quite long, covering much more of my wrists than most other thin gloves.

The cut and fit of the gloves are superb. That being said they are thinner than you may imagine, but for me suited my needs since I use them as an everyday glove and if I am walking down the street my hands are in my pockets anyway, cell phone use is easy. For whatever reason the stitching on the thumb seam for mine split wide open and I'd like to return them, but the shipping seems more than what its worth....won't be buying these again unfortunately.

These gloves are great looking and feeling, but they are very very thin. I will still get a lot of use out of them, just not in the way I anticipated.

for how light they are, they add some value.

I use these under some thin softshell gloves for everything from ski touring to ice climbing to cold weather mountain biking. Basically, if my hands are cold in my gloves, I put these on (and they are thin enough to fit under almost other glove) and my hands are never cold anymore. For me, they add 10-15 degrees of comfort.

These beauties are just the thing to compliment my Outdoor Research Vert work gloves. Being soft shell and leather, Vert's tend to wet out quickly. Forget synthetic fleece products, if your fingers are going to be wet, wool's the only ticket. I find this thin wool liner glove ideal in keep the digits warmer when wet. They also fit well under the very low profile Verts. Beware, I had a seam pop right away, perhaps a manufacturing flaw. No problems since.

I wore these gloves for one day after I received them and there's already a hole near the thumb of one of them. Seems like it's a manufacturing defect considering the reviews before me. They are very thin, much thinner than I had expected, and somewhat warm. Not bulky at all... Overall, I think they're just okay.

The only downside to these is the fact that arc'teryx have not made any mediumweights. Then I would get through winter all nice and warm.

These gloves are not only comfortable, they are super warm! I have typically very cold hands and I wear these gloves under my big mittens in the winter for skiing. They do the trick! I've also worn them in the spring time on the hot days as the only glove. Every person should own these gloves and keep them in their pockets for the cold days. They are light and small and fit in any pocket without being bulgy. They fit very true to size as well.

These things are great, merino wool to keep them toasty warm on you, and not have you get stinky or sweaty. I would suggest making sure that you really measure your hand correctly with the sizing chart, because these things fit exact. I got the M, and I love them
