Great Sensor / Every Day
I have the intermediate weight OR sensor gloves used mountaineering in the Alps and really liked them. I was hoping these had allowed for better dexterity and they did. I’ve used this for everyday wear, rucking, hunting and some mountaineering in Maine. The coldest I’ve worn these were at around 10°F with the windchills around -2°F. I was active during my wear and had no issues. I find these stay try better than the intermediate OR glove and really think the grid interior keeps my hand dryer and warmer than the intermediate.

Good day-to-day gloves
I have been owning over 20 pairs of OR gloves since 2010, it is always size L for me, and I have almost always been satisfied about fitting until recently. All the new pairs I've got seem to have an awkwardly long thumb, about 1/2 too long on size L (9). Probably a bad hand template. On the other hand, the Vigor Heavyweight gloves are a replacement for my old PL 400 sensor glove which the sensor finger ripped off over time. They are tighter than the PL 400 and thumb is too long. Furthermore, Heavyweight does not mean extreme cold weather, but simply the thickest version of the vigor. Think of those as a kind of base layer system. They are good for commuting/day-to-day or high intensity activity by semi-cold day. Work best around -5°C to 5°C for a long period of time. Finally, the sensor fingertips work pretty well.

Not heavyweight, poor sizing
There is nothing heavyweight about these gloves, very lightweight compared to some other older OR liners I have. Also the thumbs are way too long. Would not recommend at all.

Nice Liner gloves
Nice liner gloves. Heavy weight. Feel like they might last for a while. They are sort of bulky to fit into other gloves, but work great as a liner in mitts and overmits. Perfect combination for me.

Versatile and cozy
I wear these as my go to glove for walking around the city in the winter. I keep a pair in all of my jackets and I also use them for running on colder days.

Warn and comfortable
These gloves are exactly what I was looking for. Warm and not bulky. Not sure about the touchpad usefulness, I haven't had much luck with that feature.

Comfortable and warm
These gloves are great for those times you want to get your hands out of the weather but need some dexterity. They are great for driving or just snapping a photo. They are just right for those in-between seasons as well

Stitching came undone
The stitching between the index and middle finger on the left glove unraveled after the first use. Only on one glove, and in this spot, but rendering the gloves useless. Edit: OR replaced the pair

Cold Fingers
I bought these at the end of March last year after freezing my hands of on the AT. Finally tried them out this morning on a chilly hike on a local trail. It was 31 degrees when we started and my finger's quickly got cold to the point of hurting. I have the lightweight version so I thought the heavyweight version would work better. It didn't. These were awful. Very disappointing. Plus the sensor which should work with your cell phone doesn't work.

Mens Vigor Gloves
These gloves are perfect for dry, cold, aerobic activities. I have taken them out while on walks and trail runs in light snow and cold days. They breathe well, and are sufficiently warm for their light weight. I would size down 1 size if I purchased again but love them otherwise.
