The North Face Power Stretch Glove

I ordered these gloves to pre-flight planes here at flight school and i needed a glove that was warm, durable and had a fair amount of dexterity and these gloves work great so far. i can't say too much about the durable part yes because i've only had the gloves for a week but they have a nice stretchy fit and i think they'll do well. i think one of the other reviews mentioned that they were good for using digital cameras and i agree. i would get a shell or outer glove for sub zero temps or handling any sort of wetness i.e. snow or anything of that nature.

This is the second pair of these gloves I own and I love them. I use them for camping and hiking in moderately cold weather. They could be used as a glove liner as they are light and thin. They are warm enough to use as a casual glove in the winter and they provide great dexterity. I have hiked with them in the rain and the reason I love these gloves is that even when wet they kept my hands warm, I felt like my hand were dry and the heat from my hands eventually did dry the gloves. They are not waterproof and I would not use them in the winter if you are going to be making snowballs or go ice fishing or any activity were your hands will get wet in freezing temperatures. I would not do anything abrasive with them either like climb a tree or play tug of war as they will probably wear out quickly. If used for there intended purpose they work extremely well, they will last a long time and are worth the money.

Warm enough for temps down to about 35-40 degrees F. Much colder than that, or throw in a stiff breeze, and these gloves don't keep your hands warm for very long. And I generally have pretty warm hands. Not really waterproof, but they are very breathable and dry quickly.

Also, they are fairly slick, making it hard to grip things like cellphones, or take money/credit cards out of your wallet, etc. There is a grippy leather patch between the thumb and forefinger; this helps for, say, driving, but not gripping small electronic devices. The gloves would be improved IMO if they had more of the grippy stuff on the palm and/or fingertips.

On the plus side, they're very comfortable, seem well-made, and do work well as long as it's not absolutely freezing. XL size will fit people with big hands. I cut off the little D-ring/clip for attaching the gloves together, as it looked kind of silly and I generally don't use those anyway.

Great gloves for 35 degree weather and up. They feel good on your hands. No seams sticking you.

Good dexterity!
Great for ski touring on the up track!
If it gets really cold they can work as a liner in your gore-tex glove.
Good fit!

These are a great pair of gloves. They work by themselves or as glove liners. I live in the south where it rarely get below 30. Do not use them to drive, they are very slippery on steering wheels.

Ordered these gloves for my sister as an un-christmas gift (she doesn't celebrate). She had lost the pair she had before. I have really small hands (my friends say "carnie hands") and a small fit me well.

I'm on my second pair of these. The first lasted through 4 hard Colorado winters comprising skiing and snowboarding (used as liners inside of mits), driving to work, and general use where heavier, bulkier gloves are impractical, including yard work and tinkering in the garage. For such a thin glove, they are surprisingly warm. The quality is far above that of any other 'liner' type glove I have used. I love the use of suede between the thumb and forefinger which is typically a high-stress area. I am ordering my second pair from Backcountry.com because REI have apparently stopped carrying them in favor of their own glove liner. No thanks - I'll stick with the North Face Power Stretch!

very light but not waterproff. good for the backpack to throw on when it gets a little chilly. more like a glove liner.

My husband saw these at a store, tried them on and wanted them. I got them here because they were on sale and free shipping. I also got lots of other The North Face loot.

The gloves are thin. My husband wanted some like this for doing stuff outside when it is not real cold. You could also wear under other gloves for more warmth.

I bought these to wear from the house to the car and in the car until it warms up.

I wouldn't use them to drive though because there really isn't any grip.

Just a decent middleweight glove to help keep the digits toasty.

These gloves are great, but more definitely for casual use. The thumbs are a bit long, but better long than short! I love the fuzzy cuffs - very comfortable and warm!

Great gloves for what they are designed for. I wear them to run in when the weather is cold enough. Would be great for any high energy winter activity.

Nice and warm pair of gloves

Very warm and you can still maneuver quite well.

Very light and warm too!
They are great except for extreme cold.
They allow my fingers to work for many tasks without taking them off.

I've had a pair of these for 2 years and they are a decent pair of gloves for everyday use and are surprisingly warm for the weight. Even when the temp here in NYC reached single digits last week, my fingers were still pretty warm considering. What I like most about them is that they aren't very bulky so I can still use my hands for stuff like going into pockets, etc. without having to take them off, thus exposing my hands to the elements. I got my girlfriend a pair for Christmas and she loves them also.

very comfortable and still keep my hands warm

I bought some top of the line Grenade gloves that came with a pipe liner. The pipe liner kept my hands warm in 30F temps but when the temps drop below 10, the fingers went numb. I picked up these bad boys as warmer liners, and THEY ARE AMAZING. I rode all day in -5F temps and fingers were cozy. They're fleece, so warm, but also breathable, so no great for extreme cold, if they're solo. I dont think you'll find a better glove LINER. I've also used them for runing here on cold days and they've worked out great.

Good for a light glove or liner, don't use as a primary cold weather glove

In below freezing temps my hands were still a little cold. But it kept me warm enough.
