Decent Gloves at a great price
By wtmtnhikerVerified Reviewer from New Hampshire on 3/9/2008

Feels too small

XL needs to be Larger

Gear Usage:

Bottom Line:

I like the gloves but I have big hands and the XL is not as large as it needs to be. It is quite a bit smaller than other XL gloves that I have. It is still a good, warm glove priced right.

I need to exchange these gloves. I ordered extra large (normally I wear large) and they are too small. It also appears in the picture that the gloves have some type of wrist closure and they do not, they barely cover your wrist. Thank you for ttaking the time to inquire.

Eastern Mountain Sports Response:We're sorry these gloves aren't a good fit for you. You can certainly return or exchange them. Looking at the picture the wrist is elasticized but has no additional closure…so we’re not sure what you mean exactly. But… our first priority is your complete satisfaction with your Eastern Mountain Sports® purchase.

The first time my husband wore the gloves it was to shovel a very wet snow. The gloves were soaked through within five minutes, leaving his hands wet and cold. They were not what we were hoping for.

Do not buy these gloves
By Phil the unhappy EMS customerVerified Reviewer from Goffstown, NH on 2/18/2008

Pros:
Dries Easily, Warm
Cons:
Poorly made, Stitching cam apart 1use, Wears Out Quickly
Best Uses:
everyday wear, Shoveling
Describe Yourself:

Bought these for shoveling the driveway and playing in the snow with my kids. After the very first use, the stitching on one of the fingers has come apart. And has also started to come apart on the palm. One use. Unreal.

Excellent down alternative
By LizVerified Reviewer from Leicester, VT on 1/28/2008
Sizing:
Feels true to size
Pros:
Dries Easily, Durable, Good Grip, Snug Fit, Warm, Windproof
Best Uses:
Backcountry
Describe Yourself:
Casual/ Recreational
Gear Usage:
Cold Weather Living, Winter Sports
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Primaloft is my preferred down alternative. It's very difficult to find intermediate warmth gloves in this synthetic. They're very warm without bulk, durable, and with all manmade materials, an excellent vegan option to leather.

 
Best winter gloves I've ever had
By Frustrated SnowblowerVerified Reviewer from Lowell, MA on 1/15/2008
Sizing:
Feels too large
Pros:
Dries Easily, Snug Fit, Warm, Water Resistant
Cons:
Poor Grip
Best Uses:
Snowblowing
Describe Yourself:
Advanced
Gear Usage:
Snow Blowing
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

On the heading 'Describe Yourself', I assume it's a classification of skier, my description is for class of Snowblower operator, I don't ski. Considering the jam-ups that occur while snow blowing, my hands were forever ice cold and wet by the time I was through, since I've owned these gloves, I've had to clear 3 storms and the gloves have held up exceptionally, just a bit more grip on them and they would be classified Perfect vs. Exceptional.

Used while shoveling snow and found that hands sweat in these gloves and this creates really cold fingers! These gloves are best used for caual everyday living for but not winter outdoor activities.

warm, but not waterproof.
By mikeVerified Purchaser from Dracut on 12/25/2007
Sizing:
Feels true to size
Pros:
Good Grip, Snug Fit, Warm, Windproof
Cons:
Not Breathable, Not Weatherproof
Best Uses:
Casual Wear
Describe Yourself:
Advanced
Gear Usage:
Cold Weather Living
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

this is a good glove for cold but dry climates, but it doesnt repel water much. It tends to retain water that can freeze if not kept warm, which is a problem if you are hiking. On the bright side, it is very warm and comfortable.
