Sureshot Softshell Gloves - Men's

Great gloves with one small issue

These are great gloves that balance warmth and breathability very well. I wore them as touring gloves in Japan and in the BC backcountry, and even with copious amounts of snow and variable wind and temps, they performed extremely well. I would recommend hitting them with some leather conditioner right out of the box, as the leather did tend to get a bit wet as temps climbed. But that moisture never made it to the interior of the glove, so it didn't seem to affect performance. My only small complaint is that the liner is a bit loose inside the glove, so sweaty hands sometimes required a bit of finger wiggling to get the liner in the right position to let fingers into the right slots. It was pretty minor though, so not a reason to dislike the gloves. Just an opportunity for improvement. Fix that, and they're a solid 5 star option.

I'm normally a small,but small was too small for me. they're not that warm and the clip to clip the gloves together ripped within a week of use had to sow it back on

Exceptional performance

I bought these for everyday wear in 30-50 degree weather of all sorts and they do not disappoint. Some of the best general purpose gloves daily use gloves I have ever had for keeping my hands warm. I have a whole collection of gloves, including others from OR, that do not meet that goal. I suspect that those reviewers that find fault with warmth or wind resistance simply did not get the right fit for their particular hand shape. These gloves are water-resistant (not proof) for up to two hours and did allow me to check my phone but just barely, so keep those expectations reasonable. They are comfortable and let me work outside for a long time with comfortably warm and flexible hands. Buying more so I can clean the non-performers out.

These Gloves Aren't Good!

These gloves are not good. 1. They aren't warm; in particular, my fingers were freezing in dry, 45-degree weather. 2. The computer/cell phone touch doesn't work. I routinely had to remove my gloves to manage my phone. Just pass on these, as I am sending mine back, and for the time being staying clear of OR gloves. This is my second under-performing pair.

Keeps my hands warm but they're thicker than I thought they'd be. Thicker than I would like for shooting, especially with a pistol. I mainly use them for camping now.

Excellent fit

I read a review in outside magazine for OR gloves and they are now my go to glove brand. Outstanding fit and warmth. This pair is the one for almost everything

I would buy this product if it came in 2XL.

Fits well, however wish they came in 2XL. Believe they would fit better, use for hicking and skiing.

Great Gloves

I run hot especially with gloves. These are perfect for me and Alaskan winter. They block the wind and give me just enough warmth to handle almost any winter day around Anchorage. Great Gloves that provide perfect warmth, allow dexterity and aren't too bulky.

Fits Like a Glove... Lol!

Having been involved with the outdoor retail industry for over 25 years, I'm no stranger to the quality product from OR. That being said, I have many pairs of OR gloves for different seasons/pursuits. It wasn't a gamble getting the Sureshot soft shell gloves in my size. (Their fit is consistent through the glove category. What I didn't expect is how much I would end up using them. Cold weather bike commuting, shoveling snow, walking the dogs and of course the perfect mid-weight glove for the backcountry. I'd like another pair just to stretch the life over the next several years. Highly Recommend!

Good for winter hikes, walks, or active outing.

Excellent gloves for an active outing in 20-35 degrees. The phone fingers work okay, but its much easier to take the gloves off if your doing anything other than taking a quick peak at something. If you're not moving much, then these might not be insulated enough to keep you very warm.
