The Columbia Men's Wintertrainer Gloves' fleece shells give you just the right amount of insulation for spring skiing while the polyurethane leather palm increases grip and durability. No longer do you have to worry about shredding your fleece gloves by simply carrying you newly sharpened skis across the parking lot. When the sun shines brightly, and the corduroy calls, grab the Columbia Wintertrainer Gloves, and enjoy the weather.
Bottom Line: Columbia combines spring-weather insulation with burly materials in the Wintertrainer Gloves.
My 13-year-old son hates (what he considers) bulky winter gloves, so he usually wears those cheap thin acrylic gloves that you get at the drugstore. He wanted something that would be warmer but would still be flexible (for zipping, getting things out of his backpack, and so on). These gloves fit the bill perfectly. I lot of other options I looked at were really expensive because they were highly technical windstopping gloves (I guess), but that's not what my son needed. And since he'll lose them by the end of the winter, I wasn't going to spend a lot of money.
While well made, light and fairly warm, have had to wear something under them to keep fingertips from freezing during half hour dog walks. A little too light..but maybe that's just for old fingers? I notice that I wear them daily anyway and they are good down to about mid-thirties here in New Jersey
