The Full Review
So the winter is on its way and I thought I'd get a head start on preparing- first step, learning from last winter and realizing there's a place in my life for a waterproof glove that isn't bulky and also isn't neoprene. This glove has good grip, a nice fit, and awesome materials to make feel like a normal stretchy glove, but with waterproof characteristics and touch-screen compatible finger tips in the index middle and thumb.
The Good:
Nice fit, good weight, smooth black color.
The Bad:
I see potential for wear eventually, given that while Merino has many great properties, it can certainly deteriorate in harsh conditions where there is a lot of friction, or for instance velcro might fuzz them up. So far so good, though.
The Bottom Line:
Great product. I mean, I bought it and I am far from dissatisfied.
