Amazing gloves but.......

By M. Kenny Ranked #532 - Mittens October 27, 2009

I had a pretty bad experience with these. First off these gloves are made for extreme cold and 'should' be able to withstand pretty much anything. I brought these with me on an ice climbing trip last winter where the temperature was around -35C, they were very good at keeping my hands warm but after about a day i noticed a huge problem, the draw cord at the base of the gloves is held in there with a welded seam, and being out in this extreme cold caused the welded seam to completely rip out all the way around the glove and the draw cord was now hanging out of the glove, i could no longer tighten them up around my forearms. This happened on BOTH gloves and i can definately tell you that i wasn't being hard on them when tightening them up.

I sent them back to Mountain Hardwear and they deemed them as defective and it took them 10 MONTHS to send me a replacement pair....... I finally got the replacement pair and they look exactly the same as last years model, i hope this doesn't happen to me again.

Other than that problem the glove itself is great, warm and keeps the wind and water out!
