Stoic Welder Short Glove
Weird shape, bulky fingers, and unsuitable for ice
By Jacon Mayer
Ranked #468 - Ski Gloves
February 7, 2010
I ordered these gloves for leading ice and they're not going to work.
1. They are a weird shape. Aside from the L being slightly too small for me (fine - maybe I am an XL in this glove), the glove was extremely constricting around my thumb pivot. Friends with smaller hands who tried them on felt the same way. This unusual constriction prevented me from effectively gripping anything.
2. These are thick gloves, not really suitable for grabbing anything. Far, far too thick on the palms - so I was getting pumped really easily.
3. There are some weird seams and lots of extra leather on the fingertips. Also not ideal for leading ice.
Needless to say, I am sending them back.
