Two layers of fleece team up for supreme warmth in the Outdoor Research PL 400 Gloves. The burly 300-weight fleece outer layer is attached to a plush 100-weight fleece lining, so this glove won't balk at pulling a.m. windshield-clearing duty. The smooth exterior of the PL 400 makes for light water-repellency and wind protection, as well as smooth sliding when you combine it with one of Outdoor Research's mitts or glove shells. The MotionWrap construction keeps fingers surprisingly dexterous by tucking seams out of your grasp, and the PL 400's grippy silicone palm won't let the steering wheel spin out of control.
Bottom Line: Ever heard of 400-weight fleece? Neither had we, until Outdoor Research brought the PL 400 Gloves around and blew our minds.
The PL 400 gloves tickle my fancy. I've tried other fleece gloves but they are the first pair that I have owned that give you a sense as if you are almost wearing nothing on your hands. I can actually grip things with my fingers and get work done. They are light and snug, but extremely comfortable. The silicone does a great job giving your hand the ability to grip things. They are not as warm as you would think they are but for me they are warm enough. 20's to 40's these gloves are in their element. In the low teens you will feel the cold and you will feel "some" wind, but you will still able to feel warmth. When it gets really cold I slide my hardshell gloves over these and I am good to go.
I bought these off this website for my boyfriend after reading the raving reviews here. The gloves look nice, and the grippers seem to be very useful. However, the material has started fraying on his palm by his thumb after only 6 uses or so.
The biggest complaint, however, is that they do not keep his fingers warm. We both live in Chicago, and he has used these half a dozen times already. One day, he got back from walking a block to and from the grocery store, took his hand out of his glove and touched my face with it, and his fingers were icy cold.
I am beginning to suspect that the people who wrote reviews here saying that this glove is very warm (thanks for sharing your experience, by the way) must have larger hands or something. Maybe those of us with tiny hands are just doomed to always have cold fingers in gloves because our hands don't generate enough warmth...maybe we are doomed to have to wear big ski gloves when others can get by wearing these sleek looking gloves.
These are amazing, and I just bought my second pair to go inside mitts for mountaineering. My first pair got me through winters of field work in Ohio (often near- or below-zero F temps).
These are very warm, and the textured palm and fingers gives them great dexterity.
hey, im going too order Outdoor Research PL 400 Glove - Men's in i couple of weeks, i use size L. and there is only 1 par left. if this gets sold out, when do you get them back in stock?
This was my second pair of Outdoor Research gloves, and both have been great. These fit perfectly, and I especially liked how they were fitted at the wrist. The grips are effective without being inelastic. I have worn them mainly for walking my dog, driving, scraping my car, or around town. Temps have been from -10 to around 30. If it gets below 15-20 or is especially windy you may feel it a small amount, but not any worse than other gloves I have worn of this thickness. Overall, very pleased!
Loved them, I lost a pair on the Denver lightrail so I had to get another pair. It was 50F in the morning and then in the 70s when I got off of work, so off went my coat and gloves, lol. Don't lose them like I did as you will miss them and they are not cheap!
These are probably one of the better fitting gloves I've owned. They keep my hands warm and dry. The rubbery texture on the fingers and palms really help me grip on things. For such a thin material, I'm surprised of its durability. Highly recommended.
These are the best. Really, they are - for $26.00? There aren't better gloves for that price - I defy you to find me better gloves for ~$26. They are warm and can be worn without a liner, even for snowball fights. They didn't soak through at all! Also, the grip is sufficient to smoke a cigarette - that's pretty damn good, in my opinion. When it gets below the teens, however, a liner/outer glove is going to be needed. I suggest the Mountain Hardwear 'Butter' liner - those are also extremely warm.
I bought these for a recent trip to Denali, and was really pleased with them. They have a grippy palm, which is good for handling an ice axe or fiddling with climbing gear. They're surprisingly warm considering how thin they are. I wore them until about 16,000 feet before needing to switch into a shelled glove for more warmth. Also, they layer nicely under a heavy duty mitten for when you need to take the mitten off for dexterity. Another nice feature is that they clip together when not in use, which helps keep from losing them.
