Session Knit Glove - Men's

This glove is amazing. It's like a dream come true

I love these gloves so much. The texture of the goat leather is very soft and it comes with top-notch insulation. This glove made me clearly feel the original intention of the design, efficient warmth and extraordinary breathability. This white color scheme is so beautiful, it's my dream lover

Perfect fit, High quality

Very happy with the fit and quality of these gloves. My hand length is about 8.5", or Euro size 11, and the size XL fits nicely with a very small gap at the end of a few fingers. Width is proportional. The leather is supple and the dexterity is good enough for regular needs at the ski hill. I think I could get my harness on with these gloves, tie a knot, and use a carabiner, but probably too bulky to untie a knot.

Very Warm, Look Great, and Fit the Bill!

These gloves rock! I bought these along with the backcountry Gore-Tex ones. Both are very good gloves, but these are warmer and a little more comfortable. I'd recommend these over those, but you’ll be happy with both. They’re made very well, the pop of red looks great, and the leather is buttery smooth. My GF runs cold and she borrowed these the other day for our walk (low 30’s with 10mph wind), she didn’t think about her hands, which is what you want. You want to be able to do the things you want and not worry about the cold. She was shocked when we came in how well they worked. These are great and exactly what you want in a solid glove. I’ll be testing them out snowboarding in a couple weeks and I can’t imagine any issues will pop up.

Excited: My Gloves Upgrade

I bought these gloves as an upgrade to my multi-layered approach I've had to use for colored weather road cycling. They're even better than I imagined. The glove is lightweight and pliable, while being exceptionally warm, and the fit is superb. As someone who has very long fingers, it's very hard to find a glove that fits. These do! The long shank cuff allows for an excellent overlap with my riding jacket, and the wrist straps are such a welcome feature. I'll be able to slide off my gloves without having to put them down. These are definitely my favorite gloves ever purchased.

Comfy

Great approach gloves for ice climbing, warm and well articulated!

Session Knit Gloves

Awesome gloves ! Using the fit guide I measured a Medium, If I stretched some maybe a Large. After trying both, Large was the right size. I bought these because they have heavy PrimaLoft insulation on the back of the hand and lighter insulation in the palm area, so you could close your hand and have more dexterity. And they do have good dexterity and easy to grasp things. Beautifully built with a lot of thinking into them. These gloves were only available with the knit cuffs which is acceptable. But, the only drawback they have is the knit cuffs are sized to fit kids under 16. A man has to really, really force and pull to get your hands into them, and then they are tight on your wrist. I really wanted to keep them. So I put a large travel cup into the knit cuffs and left it in there to expand and relax them some. And that worked.

great average weather glove

Having cold hands, I spend a considerable amount of money on buying gloves from top of the line companies every year. I ski 4-5 days/week and usually glove insulation packs in a season or two max. Knowing BD gloves from my ice-climbing gear, I gave them a shot this year with skiing gloves also. After purchasing the Progression mittens, which is spectacular in fit and warmth, I went with the Session glove. Super nice leather and fantastic fit. I used them 11 days so far in temps no lower than aprox 22F and windy and I am very happy. The glove although not waterproof holds the wind and mild snow out surprisingly well. One thing that I noticed is when touring in cold weather the glove breathes better than my other gloves that have no waterproof insert. Note to the designers: Guys/gals please add reinforcement in palms and a velcro cuff and the session model it will be the greatest mountain glove ever.

Good glove

Leather is soft and feels good. A little thin but keeps my hands warm in temps down to 10 F. Super comfortable.
