Very light, totally unrestrictive, much more breathable than a soft shell. Used this over a mid weight base layer (synthetic Mammut) for Alpine snow and ice climbing in -15ºC to -20º C, working hard and moving fast. Apart from some zipping and unzippng I never had to change layers the whole day ! hardly needed a belay jacket (no wind that day) was dry as a bone at the end of the day.
Don't know how durable it will be in the long run ?, feels very fragile but it did stand up to some bushwacking without damage. Made in Thailand !

Intuitive design/technology, very nice (use alone) liner. Bought a pair for my wife and she tested them learning to Telemark in slushy conditions, alternating rain/sleet, 0 degrees C while falling over a lot. Her hands were as dry as a bone at the end of the day, mine were soaked (patagonia stretch element gloves). Insulation is a little light for really cold conditions but they make other versions with the same technology.

I'll start by saying that I am a big fan of most Arcteryx gear, I have hardshell jackets, pants and many other items that have performed amazingly well for years and were worth every cent.I have a fairly normally proportioned hand (L) and these seemed too short and fat in the finger dept. The materials seem good quality and with the thickness of the liner I bet they would be very warm, dexterity is good for a glove of this thickness. On the negative side, the liner does not look like it would stand up to even very light use alone, I imagine you could shred it even holding ski/trekking poles and I don't know if the liners can be bought separate ? even if you can, with the goretex cuff they are going to cost. The gloves are made in China too which is disappointing for a $275 pair of gloves and raises quality questions in my mind.Thanks Backcountry for providing no hassle returns, I went with the MH Medusa glove instead for my winter ski/snowboard/alpine adventures it's half the price, better liner that you can use alone, similar waterproof technology.

very soft, warm and comfortable, dries super fast, my 5 year old son loves wearing them to school or walking/skiing as insulation layer. Make them in more colors and we'll keep buying them. Price seems more reasonable than comparable quality brands (Patagonia)

this material seems like a great blend, very comfy, soft and durable. integral belt is a nice touch. quality seems much better than most.

I like the waist tabs

These gloves are fantastic, very comfortable, warm and dry while preserving dexterity.

This appears to be great quality, smart blend of materials makes it warm, light and comfortable, made in the USA !. If you are athletic build and have long arms this will actually fit (rare). Discreet logo on the sleeve is a nice touch (we don't all want to be walking billboards). Lapis color is much better than expected. If they make more colors I'll buy some more of these.

I've never had such wet hands

does anyone else get the feeling that Arc'teryx gear is not as good as it used to be ?
These gloves seemed sized too small, had uncomfortable seams and just did not look like they would last long, so I sent them for return. Pity as I have a ton of their other gear (hard and soft shells, harness) bought years ago that is bombproof.
Made in Canada vs made in China ?

Either my head is odd shaped or this beanie is, I'll lose my ears if it's really cold

I'm so pleased with these shoes, ordered the same size as my Mythos rock shoe and they fit like a glove. Great grip, support and feel. I don't feel like taking them off ! got them on sale here with free shipping, if only everything else in life went this well!

Nicely made, thick fleece, great fit and room for growth. So much better than "run of the mill" kids clothing
