Voted 4/5 | These are the most dexterous "warm" gloves I have ever tried. Tie laces, thread needles, pick up loose change from the floor - no problem!
I am usually comfortable in these gloves down to the mid twenties or so and they are pretty wind resistant. They are water resistant to a point, and will lose much of their warmth when wet.
I use them for running and biking in cooler weather, backcountry skiing, alpine climbing and even ice climbing in warmer temps. I also use them at work. They are great liner gloves. Not super durable - I usually go thru 2 - 3 pairs a year, but they are only $20! | | Posted Sep 16, 2004 12:01 pm |

Voted 5/5 | I agree with some of the other reviews. Of all the lightweight gloves that I've used, these offer the best dexterity. I can tie my boots, light a stove and place protection with ease while still wearing these gloves.
Well made and seem to last under normal mounain use. Leather palm helps with cold axes and gripping. | | Posted Nov 28, 2004 9:06 am |

Voted 3/5 | For general use, these gloves are pretty warm. However, don't attempt to do any serious scrambling with them. The fingers will not hold up to a day of mountain scrambling and will wear out after only one day. They should have extended the leather palms all the way to the finger tips to increase durablility during scrambling. To prevent the tips from wearing out quickly, I had to use a shell over them, which then resulted in "hot" hands. All fleece gloves should have the leather palms extend to the finger tips. | | Posted Nov 30, 2004 3:46 pm |

Voted 4/5 | These are a good liner glove and should not be considered a technical glove. The palms but not the fingers have grippy leather. They have done me well on cold, high-wind situations. I only knock them down a star because after just a few weeks of using them to drive to work, and a couple of cold weather climbs (mostly used in mittens, some gear fiddling), the tips are getting a little fuzzy. But gloves will do that. I plan to save them only for outings and get another pair of the grippy fleece gloves that OR or BD make for driving, those gloves have lasted a long time for single-layer dry use. | | Posted Dec 22, 2005 2:28 pm |

Voted 3/5 | These make fine liner gloves for mild weather or under mittens or shells. The leather palm seems to be a pain when they get wet because they suck heat from your hand. | | Posted Dec 7, 2007 5:45 pm |
| jfox | Good Stuff! | | 
Hasn't voted | I got a size smaller than usual so they fit snug since they are stretchy. They keep my hands warm and maintain dexterity when needed. | | Posted Sep 2, 2008 2:23 pm |
