Not bad but not perfect either

By Howard Worton Ranked #120 - Ski Gloves March 30, 2009

I found a pair of these on sale last spring from Porters of Tahoe. To me they are almost the perfect spring glove but there are a couple of little things that stop them short of that. The build quality is very good - the stitching good and the leather soft(maybe too soft, feels a little fragile but no problems in a year of use). The detailing is also good - I appreciate the metal loops, allowing me to attach retainers. The wrist strap is maybe a little too bulky - making getting it under the cuff of a jacket difficult. It is also too tight to easily get over a jacket cuff.... All this means although these are a well made and high quality glove, the user friendliness is lacking. Recommended with reservations.
