Customer Reviews Outdoor Research Backstop Sensor Gloves

WOW, these fit great - even on my big ham hands. Very soft but durable material. Grippy fingertips are great for driving or gripping ski or hiking poles. Length is great as they stay tucked into sleeves when reaching out. Clip to hold them together is small but tough enough that they dont come apart and get lost.

Nice lightweight gloves for back country skiing uphill.

I haven't used them in a storm yet but they are very nice go to gloves for most applications outside. Medium fits well and the sensor works better than most.

These gloves are great for range of motion while still being warm

Great product for winter hiking! Hiked the Art Loeb Trail during high winds and rain. Not waterproof, but I was able to take this picture thanks to the sensor pads

Since I was stationed in Twentynine Palms, CA, these bad boys have survived the cold, dry weather down there when it becomes a lot cooler in the fall. No point in wearing these puppies when it rains, unless you're a masochist for having heavily-soaked gloves while carrying a weapon; no, they're not waterproof. They'll eventually get soaked like any other pair of gloves, so they're fantastic as a liner. They aren't exactly windproof either, but that's what the description tells you anyways. While not perfect, I've easily been able to use my phone for mission planning, communicating, etc. while wearing them. Be mindful when using these as they can get beat up rather quickly if you aren't careful; silly me used these for handling c-wire at one point so they have a few nicks here and there but still go strong. I'm currently stationed in Fort Benning (name will be changed soon for you sensitive folk), GA, and I've yet to have any issues when wearing them during the cold season here. Lastly, I'm not one for writing reviews, and I honestly thought they discontinued this model until I checked this morning, so here I am typing this up to help someone out.

Warm, it is easy to use a smart phone with the sensor touch. I generally use them for running in colder weather or skiing under a thicker glove. Great glove and would recommend.

Nice warm and dry.

The first snow of the season allowed me to breakout my new gloves. I wasn't disappointed, they kept my hands dry and warm

Second pair can't get enough.

Snug fit. Good wind proof warmth.

Best gloves ever

Fit is great. I'm between a Large and XL. Glad I went with XL. I'm still rocking a early model Sensor (2007ish), but the GORE Infinum is a nice upgrade. These gloves are a great compromise between warmth and dexterity. Great light to heavy activity glove

Perfect for raging around in the cold late season when you need a slightly warmer more weather resistant glove. The wind stopper backer is awesome when that windchill pics up

Great for and dexterity, use for work running a tablet in the field

Perfict for the local weather conditions on the Canadian East coast

Great gloves to use at work for me (military). I already had a thinner pair and decided to get a pair a bit thicker for cooler days. They are thin enough to do more delicate work with, and great for shooting.

I had an older version of OR Windstopper gloves for over 18 years that finally gave up (well, honestly, one of the gloves melted when I was tending a campfire). They were great gloves that went everywhere with me including vacations, climbing, skiing, etc. The only complaint I ever had about those gloves was the decrease in dexterity. These gloves have much more "feel" to them and I really like the touchscreen finger tips. They work great. The gloves are definitely warm and comfortable. I bought XL gloves and they are slightly tight on me as I usually wear XXL gloves. That said, they are still very comfortable and I have worn them for over 5 hours in comfort. Thanks OR.

Great gloves. Great fit. Definitely a step up from some of the other OR gloves I own. Works great with your cellphone.

Best gloves I've been able to find for active outdoor activities. I love them for classic and skate skiing. have a pair in each vehicle.

Great for those who need a glove the subdues the bite of the wind!!!

10 years

I bring these with me for my North Carolina winter backpacks (mid/low 30s before wind chill once you're at elevation) and they perform great. These help with colder morning runs without that dreaded hand sweat.

These gloves are great. I wear them around town and To work on chilly days. I mostly wear them on the up when backcountry skiing. The wind stopper is excellent and they keep my hands toasty when I'm moving. The dexterity is great as well as the touch capability and the little grippers. I did eventually wear them though a thumb and a few finger tips but bought a new pair and keep the old ones for dirty jobs.

I consider myself a connoisseur of glhe liners having been put through Ranger school in the winter. This is the best. Snug fit, good insulation, grip, and touchscreen compatible.
