Increasing dexteity and protection

By Arthur Debowski January 9, 2011

These appear to be one of the better constructed gloves I have owned and will likely hold up to a few seasons of abuse. The keeper straps are useful as I am always popping the gloves off to tend to other matters such as text messages or nature. I was on the fence whether these would be warm enough for me (I get cold hands) and the reviews here were split. In the end they were not warm enough for me on days where the temps were below freezing without the use of a wool liner or some serious cardiovascular output on my behalf. They do dry quickly but the that may be because they are very waterproof so any moisture that needs to evaporate is doing so from the face fabric and the leather (after extended contact with the snow). I sized these at a 9 based on the chart and they felt clunky at first with somewhat poor dexterity but after packing out a bit they are increasingly dexterous and useful. I also own a pair of Hestra Heli Mitts for the coldest of days.
