The zipper is fantastic, just adjust the velcro with the zipper closed and then you can just zip and unzip the zipper to take the glove off, never messing with the velcro again. Pretty warm, I've only had to ball my hands up on the lift a couple times, and they are dry as a bone, until your hands start sweating of course. I got the smoke ones, I had no problem with the black leather bleeding. The tack grip is weird at first, but you get used to it and end up loving. I've skied with my gloves many a day and the tack is still there. Great product, and look at that price.

When I wore these gloves I felt like I stole them from Darth Vader. The goat leather was super tackey and made grabbing the iced over boards easy. Because of the leather, breathability kinda sucked so don't sweat too much in them. They have little to medium insulation. I liked the glove but had to return them due to the black die bleeding off on to any thing I touched that wasn't black... including my brand new down jacket!!!!!! I hope this was an isolated incident?

I bought these gloves while they were sale. Even at 50% off they were pricey and I would not pay any more than I did for them. They are a little bit puffy looking and the leather looks like snakeskin. The pittards leather is super tackey and almost gets sticky when wet, you'll have no trouble gripping anything with these gloves on. I wore these in 8 degree (fahrenheit) weather and my hands were pretty warm, my finger tips got a little chilled though. One thing I noticed is there is no soft place to wipe your nose on these gloves. These gloves aren't the most stylish gloves I've ever had but I'm keeping them mostly because of how water proof they are. I ran water over these gloves for a good minute and they were 100% water proof. I also did a test for the Darth Vader guy and tried rubbing the gloves on white fabric after they were wet to see if the color came off and it did not so his gloves were an isolated incident.

I wanted gloves that has good warmth but also good dexterity as I was looking for a good all around glove. The glove did not disappoint as it has sufficient warmth on the coldest of days, but does not allow me to use my phone with the gloves on unfortunately. Very good gloves with great protection and good dexterity but do not have unreasonable expectations and you will not be disappointed.

these gloves are really good they get a 4 only cuz the water doesnt leak thru the glove u can just feel it on the outside but it dont leak thru so maybe 4.5 but not 5 stars cuz for 130 they should be flawless i was looking for the best fitted glove out there and im just a lil disappointed not too much just a lil id buy again if i needed to well worth the money
