“They keep what they promise. Hands are warm and dry in them. Shooting rifle with them is fine, but I can’t recommend using them for shooting pistols.”

How is the finger and thumb length? Come up short, they nip my finger tips

“A nice glove but the size guide is a bit off. Probably should have gone 2 sizes up. I haven't got massive hands, but these gloves, a size larger than than the measured sized were still right.”

How is the finger and thumb length? Come up short, they nip my finger tips

“These gloves run uncomfortably small. I ordered per the sizing chart and the gloves I received had fingers ~3/4" too short and were difficult to pull on. These run too warm for active use and do not breath well as advertised. I did some light hiking with these in 20F weather and my hands sweated profusely. The wrist strap is very loud, not great for big game hunting, and the leather material doesn't seem very durable, as it is quite thin. They do seem to be fully wind and waterproof and they have a good grip. These would probably be good for static winter activities like ice fishing”

“Great quality gloves just the sizing needs to be reviewed. I purchased my normal size 10 large but these are way too tight. Would suggest to anyone thinking of getting some to go up a size larger to avoid disappointment. These were a Christmas present so I haven't got the packaging otherwise I would send them back to reorder a size XL☹️☹️”

“I use them for shooting game birds in Ireland from October and I plan to use them fishing when the season starts in Jan/Feb to probably until late march. I have slightly long fingers for standard glove sizes, so having the leather construction allows them to stretch and be worn in and get that tailor fit for your hands. And lastly, dad has a pair of sealskinz and are still going strong after 15 years of abusive seasonal use having to push brambles and bushes out the way while trekking the bogs hunting for woodcock and snipe. There's scratches on the palm, but still fully waterproof and warm.”
