These are awesome gloves for backcountry touring. Breathe well while keeping your hands warm and dry for aerobic winter pursuits. They also have nice leather palms with an abrasion resistant insert on the index finger and thumb areas. They do run a bit large, though, so I recommend getting them a size smaller than your usual size. I typically wear a medium glove and the small is my correct size.
These gloves are great but ... they don't do very well in wet situations. I love the way they fit and like everyone said they hold up really nice. The leather is only on the index and middle finger and continues into the palm ... didn't quite understand that design decision, but as said before they get the job done.
I love these gloves. They are awesome for a cold weather road bike ride, or just wearing around when it's chilly. I usually wear a large in gloves and I got a medium. The fingers are still a little long, but not so bad that it bugs me (and I'm picky). I do wish they had a little elastic and/or a cinch on the back of the wrist to tighten up the occasional slop, but at the end of the day, it's a rockin' glove.
Great glove. Windproof and, surprisingly waterproof (they've kept my hands warm and dry bike-commuting in Seattle this fall). Love the leather palm. They're sized very large, so order a size down.
After a few weeks of use, these gloves have proved to be with me at all times during these colder Utah months. In the mornings on bike rides to school, to heading down to the bars at night, these gloves keep my hands warm and dry. Please look at the sizing chart, for it is very accurate in regards to the size of the glove.

Nice gloves 11-19-08

Ordered a small (M-L female) and they fit pretty well. The fingers are still a little long, yet the index and middle finger are ever so slightly tight. This causes them to get colder faster. I'm hoping that with time they will stretch just a little. Otherwise, I really like these gloves.
I've reviewed them before but have a little more to say. These gloves are turning out to be completely bombproof! I've been using them lately to scramble up some steep rocky climbs in the cold and they're holding up like champs! After a few times of wearing them they start to really conform to your hands well. The leather, I'm sure, will wear out eventually but no signs yet even after 2 or 3 dozen climbs. Especially for the price these are amazing gloves! You'll love 'em!!!
I love these gloves! I've used them about everywhere.... Hiking, alpine climbing, chillin in the hills, skiing, cooking and the list can go on and on. They do fit just a hair tight at first but there were no worries after the first few outings. They've added extra layers of leather in areas that tend to get worn faster than others. They aren't short like a work glove either, which I really like. All in all I'd say that I'd have paid nearly double for them. They're getting tons of use and haven't shown the least bit of signs that they're wearing thin! Thanks for another great product Backcountry!
Very good materials. It´s a little bit too tight to put on, especially when your hand is wet. Not the thing you want to struggle with when your wet and cold. But when the gloves are on they fit perfect. Leather enhancements has different placing on the glove (differs like 0,5-1cm) which indicates a sloppy assembly.
