Pull on The North Face Men's Apex Bionic Glove when you need to shovel the driveway or build that snowman with the kids. A DWR coating makes these tricot-lined gloves water-resisatnt and grippy palms make sure you don't lose your hold.
Bottom Line: Water-resistant gloves for everyday winter activities.
I had been looking for a lightweight glove that I could use while walking, hiking, driving, geocaching etc. because my ski gloves were just too bulky and not necessary. These gloves allow me to keep my hands warm doing all those things. I also have a Garmin Oregon I use to geocache and I am able to use the touchscreen with no problem. The snow storm today in Utah gave me a chance to test them and sure enough, they performed well with the wet heavy snow. I don't think I would use them skiing in cold temps or even out in the snow for hours but that's no biggie.
Great all around glove to perform, as the tech specs says, "cold weather chores."
I've had these gloves since they first came out and I love 'em !!! I do a lot of winter hiking and camping and these are my favorites.. Very nimble when adding or removing layers or if you need to use your hands for anything. I got mine one size larger so I could put my North Face Powerstretch gloves on like a liner. Minus 14 and windy ?? NO PROBLEM !!! I have run these through the gauntlet...I can't wait for winter !!
How would you compare this softshell glove to something made with either Polartec WindPro or Gore Windstopper? Would the Apex glove keep your hands warm during low-exertion activities into the mid-20's? Also, how do the WindPro and Windstopper fabrics compare?
Most gloves out there wont keep your hands warm in the 20 degree range when standing still.I do not recomend, from hardcore trials, the black diamond guide gloves which are the warmest gloves madeand the mountain hardwear habanero. Not quite as warm but have better movement and run a but less money and will hold from 20 and less standing still. Good luck
Great medium weight gloves that due to there extreme wind blocking feel about 10 times as thick. Blocking the wind completely especially when it is -30 means a bunch. I can even throw my beaver mittens over them to stay very warm and when I have to do work I can pull my gloved hand out and these are very form fitting and have a great tactile feel to them so I can do semi technical work with them still on. Finally a snug good fitting glove that I can thread a 3/4 inch nut and washer to the bolt in killer cold. Lifesavers in many ways
I bought these gloves for backpacking and they did the job great. I have snowboarded in these gloves and stayed dry and warm. The only time i was cold was on a mile hike in -5 degrees in Colorado. They hold out water good and are nice and light. Be careful of getting them close to a flame because I burned them pretty bad on my buddies white gas stove.
just got the gloves...love them so far. was thinking of giving them a couple coats of waterproofing spray for extra protection, but don't was to lose the grip on the palms and fingers. Has anyone tries spraying these gloves or a pair with a similar grippy surface?(yes, I could just not spray the palm and fingers but that prob wouldn't do much good from a waterproofing standpoint)
I have been loking for the proper hybrid glove for a while now. Excellent severe weather protection without the bulk. This is the go to glove for most any activity. Well done TNF and Backcountry!!
I picked these up for like 12 bucks at the local REI just because they were cheap. I was really surprised to see how warm they kept my hands even in 2 degree weather in montana just walking around. Snowshoeing in the same weather with these made my hands sweat!! I have poor circulation so I was super impressed. Highly recommend these, especially for the price!
Got these gloves a week ago and have worn them every day to walk my dog. I needed a pair that could give me waterproof protection and some insulation but were thin enough and grippy enough to allow me to operate a flexi leash, flashlight, or cell phone.
They are thin gloves and would not provide enough insulation for extreme winter weather or for extended periods outside (wouldn't work as ski gloves unless skiing out west in the spring), but are good enough for jogging, short hikes, or walking the dog on a cold day (wore them for an hour in 20 degree weather with no problems).
I bought these gloves on a ski trip early last spring. I skied in them when the weather was mild, and since then, I've worn them to shovel snow, at football games and even going to and from work. They are waterproof and on top of that provide a great barrier against the wind. Great product for a great price!
I like these gloves. They are form-fitting to allow great movement, yet they block a surprising amount of cold and wind. I have used them for things such as winter hiking and driving gloves, and am most pleased with their performance.
Of note, the synthetic grippers on the palms are little silicone North Face logos. They do their job and do give you good grip, but they are not going to offer the palm much, if any scuff protection. The soft shell material seems pretty tough, and I have had no issues, but I did think that it was worth mentioning.
Love these gloves - I had a pair and then purchased these for my husband, who had never been exposed to -30 celcius temperatures as we were in Banff, Alberta this Christmas. Wore them on a nice snowy run and loved them! The small grip-logos are great, too - just enough traction to hold onto things, without being too 'sticky'.
