Arc'teryx Hardface Glove - Unisex

Yeah, NOT good. My main problem may be sex/size related, but the interior stitching was so raised that I can barely make a fist with these gloves on. Furthermore, the wind resistance is just not there. I can agree with other reviewers that the design quality is there, the stitching is robust, the pull loop is nice, but who gives a crap about that when you're flippin hands are cold? I know some don't like to brand mix, but if you want the best for the $, look at the ever-degrading North Face. In addition to high school student attire, they still make an awesome glove.

I love the Polartec Powershield material this glove is made of. The glove is warm, durable, very flexible, and just about 100% snow proof. It's not perfect mind you, it's not 100% windproof, and it's water proofness isn't as good as a shell material but Powershield was never meant for harsh weather. Regardless of the mild detractions these are excellent gloves. Very dexterous, warm, and tough. If you don't mind spending this kind of money for a mid-level glove these are worth it.

These gloves we not quite what i was expecting for the price. Their wind resistance was not that great (25mph+ gusts blew right through, with a liner underneath.) The fit was nice and tight but they were a little bulkier than I had imagined - I had a bit of difficulty dialing on my cell phone or digging into pockets with these on. The leather on the palms does not extend up to the fingertips, making grip not so great where it matters for delicate work. The construction was good however - small seams on the inside, nice pull loop, decent cuff size, etc. Overall a disappointment for the price point - these gloves would have been pretty solid for 30 dollars or so.

I'm still testing these, but they seem to work well by themselves in moderate temps, upper 30's to 40's, when active, but the lack of leather on the fingers limits their use somewhat. I am going to try them as a liner with an OR shell set -- slim fit of these gloves leads me to think they will work quite well in this application. As with all Arc'teryx products, quality goes without saying.

Like all Arc'teryx products, it fits perfectly. Not quite as windproof as I expected but certainly adequate. The seams are exposed on the interior of the glove which is not as comfortable but overall I'm happy with the purchase. They are perfect for day to day activity and warmer days on the slopes.

When you are against 50 mph winds, these gloves won't do without a shell. They aren't as windproof as I thought they would be. However, for ice climbing, so far it works pretty well for me. They stretch and fit well (snug-fit). I'm satisfied. I am a bit disappointed that they are made in China, but so far I haven't seen it fall apart or anything yet! So as of now, I don't mind them being made in China.

High quality material, great feel, but a little too tight. Normally I am a size small with gloves, but these are a little too snug. I will be returning them for a larger size. Hopefully it will fit better. A nice looking glove that would fit any outfit.

Fantastic gloves! They fit well and are great for warmer ski days or driving in the cold.

Wore them on the hill the other day and great product. Warm, waterproof, wind resistant, love ’em!

These gloves served me well for a week-long Canada hut trip in early February. We had -18 to -6 degrees C weather. They were warm enough for touring and supple enough for shooting pictures, and easily slipped into my mitts (OR Cornice, these are nice too, idiot chord, nose wipe, gauntlet cinch pulls, with a very warm removal liner that was not needed for these conditions) as a liner when skiing cold smoke. Gloves are quite durable as well and stood up to work i.e. hut snow shoveling, stacking fire-wood, etc and then they easily dried overnight.

Yes, they were labeled medium and the fingers looked long enough, but there was no way to get even my wife's bony little hands could squeeze in them. Mtn. Hardwear, Marmot, and REI are all slightly big on me in a medium - so I had hoped that the Arcteryx might give a good snug fit.

Just like the other 10 Capilene items I own, it does the job of providing warmth and dryness extremely well.

I really like them. They fit snug, but not tight. Well made, like all Arc'teryx stuff.

This glove works great in just about every situation I've used it for. They're dry, windproof and warm enough to use alone for spring skiing or other cool weather activities, but thin and breathable enough to wear around town or as a liner. They're snug and relatively thin compared to other gloves with the same "specs", so they don't inhibit handling keys, opening a ski rack, or dialing a phone. Plus, they look great with any jacket: fleece, Gore-tex, wool or leather.
