Fairbanks Fingerless Glove - Men's

Love them

I wear them under my outer gloves shells. Extra insulation really helps! Always part of my mid/late winter quiver of wool layers. I use them anytime it's cold, but I still need fingertip dexterity. I've tried tons of "screen tap" style gloves but always end up having some limitations with those types of gloves. These gloves work well as a liner, great as alone, and I always bring them along for vacations, in bounds or out of bounds

Nice gloves to add a little warmth when you still need your fingertips.

Bought these gloves to use in scenarios where I need the dexterity of my bare fingertips but still want to get a little warmth. I was wearing these gloves yesterday doing ham radio in a state park and got a little kick out of how just my fingertips were cold. Duh. Gave 4/5 star rating due to lack of any kind of grippy material on the palm. If some suede or maybe rubber grip pads were sewn into the palm, it would be 5/5 for sure.

a useful and affordable option

I have purchased probably four pairs of these -- all from the military exchange--and I keep them all over the house and in the car. I appreciate that they are an affordable fingerless mitt that helps with my cold hands. The only concern I have is that they pill fairly easily and I'd appreciate a response from Outdoor Research on this. They are smooth when I get them but the fiber pills up. I don't know how to prevent this. That's my main feedback. Maybe a different fiber would work better.

reliable

I bought these gloves last fall - and used them daily to feed horses & work outside. Once it got down below 20 degrees, I had to change out to a different pair, but I love the comfort & the fact that even when wet, my hands stay warm.

These gloves are warm and dry super fast when they get wet. Great fit.

Comfortable, warm, and exactly what I needed to walk our pup

The temperature has been fluctuating wildly in Toronto this winter and I needed something warm to keep in my coat pockets that weren't too bulky and still allowed me to easily grab treats from my sling pouch. This was a surprisingly tall order and took a lot of online research. I eventually found the Fairbanks gloves from OR and took the plunge. A decision that turned out to be an easy recommendation if you're looking for something that provides warmth, is packable, and won't hamper your digital dexterity!

Soft, best for lining

Best liner glove in cold, pull of big gloves and work on machines, skis, or tie fishing knot

Exactly what they look like

Simple cheap merino wool fingerless gloves. The weave isn't super tight so they don't have any wind resistance but that's to be expected. They shrink a bit if you wash and dry them normally but they stretch back out. Added benefit of making you look like a grunge bassist from the 90s

Comfortable and sturdy

Bought these gloves for my boyfriend and he loves them. Are warm and thick in the palms but allow your fingers to move and be free. Great purchase

Best purchase I've made on gear this year

A great compromise in order to operate devices, use your finger dexterity, etc. They work great as liners to my ski gloves as well.
