ManzellaMen's Lightweight Gore-Tex Infinium Glove, Touchscreen Capable with Windproof Protection Against Cold Weather

My pair of these gloves, used now for 3 seasons have completely wore out. Why am I giving a pair of gloves 5 stars after my last pair wore out? Fair question!For many years, I would replace my pair of lighter weight convenience winter gloves every year, this pair lasted me 2.5 seasons - pushed to pretty much 3 seasons. They now have numerous holes in them, some stitching is starting to fail and they definitely need replacement.Why so many holes? #1: I smoke (negative comments encouraging me to quit are welcomed!) and lighting the cigarettes and smoking them causes synthetic material gloves to melt - get holes in them. #2: I often wear these gloves for doing outdoor work that is well beyond what a pair of gloves like these would be rated for. These are not work gloves - sure, they're fine for shoveling, pushing a snow blower, carrying skis from the car to the lodge . . . and for these types of things they are great. They are not build to build a house! Cut down a massive tree! Change the transmission on a tractor!Are these gloves worth the price? What you are paying for is the high tech fabrics used in these gloves. In this case, a fabric that is wind resistant. Don't confuse being wind resistant with being insulated - these gloves are NOT insulated. So how does wind stopper fabric help keep my hands warm? Your hands produce heat, by blocking the wind, the amount of this heat is trapped and does not blow away as soon as it is produced. The heat will still dissipate due to the thinner material - but much more slowly that if the wind passed through the gloves.These are not cold weather, long exposure gloves. They are short exposure gloves that will keep your hands from freezing up too quickly during shorter stints. Due to their thinner material (which delivers the superior dexterity), these gloves are will not trap heat very efficiently, and even less efficiently is you are holding a very cold object.Where these gloves excel in very cold weather:When removing your bulky gloves (much warmer gloves or mitts) when adjusting your snowboard bindings, ski boots, ice fishing gear, and the like.Using them as a liner glove with a pair of mitts - providing for dexterity when the mitts are removed for a short period to perform a detail task.Using them as a single glove in cold weather for short durationsUsing them during commutesI compared the fit of my 3 year old gloves to the new version. I am assuming the old pair has stretched out quite a bit over time. That said, I think the new pair is tighter in the fingers and all around. The fingers also feel to be slightly shorter - which is probably better for finger tip dexterity and the touch screen aspect - but the two fit issues will likely result in people wanting to size up 1 size.My first pair were a medium, the new pair is a medium - and a bit more snug. I would personally rather have a dexterity type glove on the snug side vs. the loose/long side. But that is a personal preference.What these gloves ARE NOT! Don't buy them if these are what you are looking for a pair of gloves to do:Ski/snowmobile/ice fishing gloves for very cold weatherSub 20 degree long exposure gloves for non-strenuous activitiesWork/construction (physical) glovesWorking directly in the snow or cold wet conditions (these gloves are not water proof and due to them not being insulated, the heat from your hand will melt snow and make the gloves wet - and cold)I love these gloves - and for what I use them for, they are nearly perfect!

These fit me well as to my regular size. They are warm to the upper 30s but are not warm enough for me in the lower 30s as can be expected with lightweight gloves. I use them every morning for our early warmup walks, several hours before sunrise. When hiking early they are layered under the Black Diamond half Craig gloves I always wear when using hiking poles. They are very wind resistant and much warmer than the previous thin gloves I have been wearing. They do work very well with the touch screen of the iPhone 14 Pro Max that is useful for photography and navigation while hiking early. Then when the day warms enough they easily fit in my pocket with little bulk. I’ll certainly be sticking with this brand.

I Really like these gloves but they are not wind proof, or warm for northern New England winter. To walk a short distance from house to a warm car they are great. Good grip, stylish, seem well made but no insulation at all from the Cortex. They never said there was, so no foul. I'll probably keep them and just use for mild temps.

This is my husband’s second pair and I have a pair. We both wear them over thinner gloves for extra weather protection. I wear them out walking and he wears them for work in construction. They are absolutely windproof. You can grip anything with them, they’re thin and comfortable over another pair of gloves. You could wear them alone, but neither of us have. We don’t use our phones while wearing these so can’t comment on touchscreen functionality. When I can’t remember where I put them, when it’s cold and windy, I go crazy. These gloves are a MUST for both of us. Highly recommend to stop the wind.

OK, everyone is different, but I'm one of those folks where my hands get cold way before my feet or the rest of my body. Purchased these to use as lightweight wind stopping gloves when bike riding on 50-55 degree days. Discovered they're good for way more than that. Right now it's 14 degrees with a wind chill of 0. I've been outside walking dogs and loading firewood for the past hour. My hands are cool, but nowhere near painfully cold or stiff. Yesterday, when it was 20 with a windchill of 10 I never put on my heavy GoreTex gloves and my hands were perfectly comfortable all day. These also work just fine on touch screen and they're wearing well so far. Very impressed with these gloves, especially considering how light weight and inexpensive as they are. I almost never give a 5 star rating, but these earned it.

Overall, this is a good glove. The fit seems to be on par with the sizing guide. My hand measures 7 and a quarter inches, which is right in the middle of the size large. There's a little bit of room at the fingertips, but not too much. What you would expect to have a good fit at 7 and 1/2 in. Other reviewer said that the windstopper does not block the wind, but it most definitely does. However you still have to have the correct glove weight to the temperature and activity.My big gripe with the glove has been mentioned by other reviewers. The fingers are not cut and/or stitched correctly so the finger pads do not sit squarely on the pads of your fingers and the sides of the fingers are twisted and a bit of the sides show on the front and the back, which I am guessing is a quality control issue from the factory in the Philippines. The glove suits my needs as a commuting cyclist where I wear these in the winter until I need to switch to heavier gloves. They are thin enough to use as liners as well, inside thicker gloves.
