They’re not really insulated though, they’re breathable as heck but nowhere near as warm as synthetic fibers.Īs far as wool goes, they weren’t horrible when they were wet, but I spent A LOT of time with these gloves being wet from snow and rain and my hands were cold. In temps down to freezing during moderate activity these gloves perform well enough. When it rains or there is wet snow, you’ll just get wet. There didn’t seem to be any noticeable DWR finish on them to shed small amounts of mist either. The wool knit allows water in like a screen door. These gloves weren’t designed for use in the wet, so as far as water resistance is concerned, there really isn’t any. The fingertips work for gross smartphone screen tasks like using a camera, but you’ll never write a proper text with them on. I was able to perform almost every camp task with these on from setting up the tent to gathering wood for a fire. If you're interested in more traditional man-made materials, BD makes a complete line of nylon/polyester gloves to fit your needs as well. (Note: Black Diamond also makes a LightWeight WoolTech Glove.) I found the medium liners to be a tad bulky to use as liners in my shell mittens. The gloves fit true to size in my opinion. I usually wear men’s large and these size larges fit just fine.
The entire time I spent wearing these gloves it seems like it was raining, snowing, or both. I winter camped in them in temps between 25-35☏.
This winter these were my go-to gloves on ski tours while I was moving and snow camping. Soft fleece liners infused with NuYarn Technology-a Merino wool blend that is engineered to be lighter, stronger, and dries five times faster-the MidWeight WoolTech Gloves neutralize odors and insulate even when wet. Very little fossil fuels were used in the material of these gloves. The majority of these gloves is made from renewable materials such as goat leather and wool. If you're interested in gloves that aren't made from plastic you might want to check out these. The search for the perfect glove continues.
