I had a pair of these for many years that I used all of the time for general use and for backwoods use and spring skiing. Love the fit and function. Recently it became time for a new pair after so much good service and Ibought a new pair.The palm seam split after very light use (literally driving the truck) for a month.
I am sure they will be replacedwith the guarantee but I am glad this didn't happen in the middle of a trip.

I use these gloves for climbing(ice, alpine, mountaineering, belaying), winter camping, walks in cold weather, bike commuting, fly fishing, and driving early in the morning in the winter. I love their fit most of all. My fingers aren't super long and these gloves fit them perfectly while many gloves tend to have fingers that are too long for me. After 4 years of fairly regular use the grip part is no longer grippy but that is to be expected. They still don't have any holes in them or rips. On the negative side (barely), these gloves will wet out after a couple pitches of ice and aren't super warm, especially when belaying or standing still but on the move in frigid temps, these guys are rad. Just climbed the North Ridge of Baker in them and they worked just fine.

I use these for ice climbing all season. I turn right around and use them with a pair of pogies for sea kayaking. Solid grip. Dry fast.

These are really good gloves, I am so happy with my purchase. These are really windproof and although they are not waterproof, they seem to be water repellent and keep my hands dry for a long time before I feel any moisture coming through. I use them for alpine climbing and the fit and grip are excellent. They are durable and can handle the rigors of alpine climbing and still wear well and last a long time. These gloves fit on the hand very well and they stay on without being loose, so you get real good tactile feedback when handling tools or rope or just holding on to a rock. These are my "go-to" gloves for every activity, until the temperatures get too cold and then I switch to the Alti-Glove or mittens. This is really a superb product and one of my all time favorite OR product.

These are my ever day winter gloves. Anything from driving to work,walking around town, hiking, to spring skiing. These gloves are great for active winter adventures in Mild temperatures +20F. The Windproof feature and good grip make these my favorites. The gloves are a thick windproof fleece like material and are great for active pursuits however, I do not recommend these gloves for sub zero temps at the top of the mountain. When the temps drop to OMG levels get a set of OR Mitts! I replaced my first pair after 5 yrs of use and still keep my old ones for riding my bike to work. You won't regret this purchase!

These gloves should be considered basic, standard equipment in any pack, or glove box. They are warm, tough and rugged, yet allow for touch and dexterity needed in fine motor skills tasks. They are warm enough to be worn on the summit of Mt Rainier in a strong, cold wind. (See my profile pic, yep those are OR Gripper gloves!) In winter or sloppy spring Cascade conditions they can be worn as an insulation layer under shell gloves or mitts. They also look and work well in urban conditions, in and around town. A solid basic equipment piece, that you can take home to mom.

These are an excellent fleece glove for moderate temps (15-30F). They have excellent grip and a snug fit. The grip is so tacky however that it makes them difficult to use in a layering system over a liner glove or under a heavier glove. They do however layer under a mitt just fine. Satisfied with their performance and would purchase them again without hesitation.

I like them! They have become the glove I always throw in my pack. I like the fit a lot!

Purchased gloves for U.S. Army Ranger School during winter season after several other gloves "just weren't cutting it." Gloves provide excellent dexterity and warm in 20-degree weather. Take care of the gloves by keep them dry and they will take care of you. Only downfall, my hands did sweat a little, but that is expected due to high activity level.
