Vigor Heavyweight Sensor Glove - Men's

Lightweight gloves that still keep your hands warm without all of the bulk.

Great Sensor / Every Day

I have the intermediate weight OR sensor gloves used mountaineering in the Alps and really liked them. I was hoping these had allowed for better dexterity and they did. I’ve used this for everyday wear, rucking, hunting and some mountaineering in Maine. The coldest I’ve worn these were at around 10°F with the windchills around -2°F. I was active during my wear and had no issues. I find these stay try better than the intermediate OR glove and really think the grid interior keeps my hand dryer and warmer than the intermediate.

Good day-to-day gloves

I have been owning over 20 pairs of OR gloves since 2010, it is always size L for me, and I have almost always been satisfied about fitting until recently. All the new pairs I've got seem to have an awkwardly long thumb, about 1/2 too long on size L (9). Probably a bad hand template. On the other hand, the Vigor Heavyweight gloves are a replacement for my old PL 400 sensor glove which the sensor finger ripped off over time. They are tighter than the PL 400 and thumb is too long. Furthermore, Heavyweight does not mean extreme cold weather, but simply the thickest version of the vigor. Think of those as a kind of base layer system. They are good for commuting/day-to-day or high intensity activity by semi-cold day. Work best around -5°C to 5°C for a long period of time. Finally, the sensor fingertips work pretty well.

Not heavyweight, poor sizing

There is nothing heavyweight about these gloves, very lightweight compared to some other older OR liners I have. Also the thumbs are way too long. Would not recommend at all.

Nice Liner gloves

Nice liner gloves. Heavy weight. Feel like they might last for a while. They are sort of bulky to fit into other gloves, but work great as a liner in mitts and overmits. Perfect combination for me.

Versatile and cozy

I wear these as my go to glove for walking around the city in the winter. I keep a pair in all of my jackets and I also use them for running on colder days.

Warn and comfortable

These gloves are exactly what I was looking for. Warm and not bulky. Not sure about the touchpad usefulness, I haven't had much luck with that feature.

Good glove while they last

This is great glove, so good that I've bought two pair of them. I find them to be a great glove for ice climbing. They have a very nice fit to allow great dexterity, aren't bulky but provide enough protection and wicking to keep my hands warm while on the ice. Unfortunately I can only give them three stars due to their durability. They've only lasted one season for me. If you can get a good deal on them they're worth it... maybe you'll have better luck with getting more than one season out of them.

Vigor Heavyweight Gloves

Use them for fall bike riding on my commute, Good so far but the grip is starting to come off.

Comfortable and warm

These gloves are great for those times you want to get your hands out of the weather but need some dexterity. They are great for driving or just snapping a photo. They are just right for those in-between seasons as well
