Recent Glove/Mitten Reviews
Outdoor Research Toddlers' Adrenaline Mitts
A pair of winter-ready (insulated and waterproof) toddler mitts that have kept my little one's hand warm and dry this winter. Like all kids stuff, sizing may be tricky, but as long as they fit, the mitts can handle almost any little kid's winter adventure. Conditions and Tester Specs: My daughter wore the Outdoor Research Toddlers' Adrenaline Mitts during the winter months in central Pennsylvania. At the time of testing, she was 15-18 months old (and wearing mostly 2T clothes for size reference)… Full review
Kinco 901 Lined Heavy Duty Premium Grain & Suede Pigskin Driver with Knit Wrist
If you place a premium on durability and cost-effectiveness, these four-season beasts might be your gloves. Well-insulated, made from pigskin with a double-layer of leather on the palms and fingers. You have to waterproof them, they take a fair bit of time to break in because the leather is so firm, and there are warmer options. Buy them from hardware suppliers—outdoors sellers overcharge for them. Though Kinco is a brand more often associated with people who work hard outside, their 901 insulated… Full review
Dachstein 4 Ply Boiled Wool Alpine Mittens
Thick wool mittens for winter weather. The key distinguishing factor is that boiled wool is thick and more resistant to wind and moisture than most other wool mitts. Because the weave is so tight, there is limited room for layering underneath them, but layering a shell over them, they’re a good option for cold weather. Durability is another plus. Introduction Old but good. Made in Austria of boiled wool. Breaking down the science behind this, washing some kinds of woven wool in hot water causes… Full review
Gordini Cache Gauntlet Glove
A good use of synthetic material to make a tough glove that resists water and dries out quickly. With additional glove liners they work well in cold temperatures. I’ve given up on finding the one perfect glove and now I keep a half dozen pairs for different activities like running, climbing, winter camping, and skiing. The Gordini Cache definitely fit into a couple of those slots. Nice, dry snow, moderately warm gloves The Cache gloves fit nicely into the skiing and alpine mountaineering slot… Full review
Outdoor Research Transcendent Down Mitts
Prices are steep. However, the entire mitten is 80 goose and 20 other feathers. My purchases were at the end of the winter season in the United States. The entire mitten is 80 goose and 20 other feathers (80/20 down fill). My first pair of these I bought at some other website I paid $24. About one month later at that same website they were offering the same, only a different design that wasn't selling well; I got two pairs for $13. Because of that purchase, the website provided me with a free shipping… Full review
Black Diamond Glissade Gloves
Very well-made gloves with a great balance of warmth and dexterity within their temperature rating, for general mountaineering, mountain activities, and more. Bought them for a winter trip and while keeping in mind that my activities in the mountains will diversify and become more technical in the next few years. I bought the previous year's model now that a new one has surfaced and got a bargain. The outer shell is synthetic and inspires confidence in its water proof and windproof abilities. The… Full review
Outdoor Research Carbide Sensor Gloves
I wanted a warm, Gore-tex over-the-cuff-style glove with wrist straps for skiing and snowmobiling and that's exactly what these gloves are. The fit is great, the quality has held up so far, and the price is ranged correctly for the value that you get. Outdoor Research's Carbide Sensor Glove Outdoor Research's Carbide Sensor Gloves are a thick, warm, cold-weather glove designed for significant exposure. I bought a pair of these for a snowmobiling trip to Speculator, N.Y., last January and they… Full review
Mountain Equipment Tour Glove
A great glove, but a bit on the small size because it's a fitted size for dexterity. Leather palms and fleece lined. A bit tough to slide on, but good once on. Good winter gloves for hiking or X-country skiing. I used them on trail about a dozen times last year and they became my all purpose glove for all except dirty work last year. Even used them for a day while cutting up a downed tree with the chainsaw and all the times I cleared snow. I took the picture with my 40-year-old downhill Aris gloves. Full review
Give'r Classic Give'r Gloves
An unusually durable shoulder to winter season glove. These gloves are well-finished, have a moderate amount of insulation, and arrive pre-waxed so they resist wetting out. Sizing can be an issue, so be careful when you order. Also, there are less-expensive alternatives. SUMMARY I purchased these gloves after reading a review on Trailspace and because finding a good glove for cooler but not freezing weather has been challenging. In my experience, gloves that give you reasonable use of your hands… Full review
