Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Venta Gloves

These will wind up living in my shoulder season wind jacket. They are very dextrous, with good grip in the fingertips. They fit rather close - you might prefer to size up after reviewing the sizing chart - but they have enough stretch to move with you. The seams in the fingertips are a little annoying - I'm hoping they soften as the gloves break in. The e-touch pads on the index fingers and thumbs are highly responsive working my iPhone X with a tempered glass screen protector, and they are sewn on, so I'd expect them to last as long as the gloves do. The wind protection is solid. If you've used any Goretex Infinium, you'll understand. It works well. That's the good. Here's the bad, on a pretty brisk paced walk in mid-40's temps, these are pretty chilly, and after 20 minutes, I find myself putting my hands in my pockets. I'd say these would be good running gloves down into the 30's. But for anything less intense, I would hesitate to use them below the upper 40's or low 50's. That's why I say they'll live in my shoulder season wind breaker. They'll be great for those days with a brisk breeze that aren't otherwise all that cold. Other than that, I don't see much use for them. I'd love to try the AR version with its loftier insulation, and that was what I was initially hoping to buy. Unfortunately they don't appear to be available anywhere above size S.

I've been using the Venta gloves for several weeks for winter cycling and casual use in NYC. Overall, the Windstopper works well when riding, but my hands get cold once it's in the mid 30's (Fahrenheit) and below. There is no insulation, but rather a thin fleece liner. The fit is pretty slim, so it takes a few tugs to get the gloves on. I'm afraid the seams on the cuff will eventually tear as other reviewers have experienced. The touchscreen sensor compatible pad on thumb and index finger seems to work ok with my iPhone, but sometimes I have problems with touchscreen on kiosk (i.e. self-check out machines). I'm not too crazy about the placement and size of the logo, so I colored it in with a black fabric marker. I love the brand, but don't want to look like a walking billboard when I'm wearing multiples pieces from Arc'teryx. The Venta gloves are good for active use. However, if it's not on sale, you should be able to find something better that will also cost less.

I really liked these but the XL was about a half cm too short for my hands. I have big hands, but I can't palm a basketball, so I believe these should be made a bit larger. I have the Alpha gloves and they fit perfectly. Another quibble was that the palms were not very grippy, so while the touch screen compatible fingers were cool, I would be afraid to drop my phone.

Very waterproof and comfortable but weak stitching between wrist and palm splits easily. Some reviewers claim the gloves aren't warm at low temperatures. These gloves are basically waterproof shells so in very low temps use as liners inside insulated gloves.

Used this glove for many things from commuting on my bike to climbing in the Scottish mountains. The look, feel and fit is great. However, I had 3 pairs due to taking them back because the stitching at the cuff breaks and the cuff falls apart in no time at all. If that part is updated it would be an awesome glove

Parfait pour mes genres de sorties pas trop intenses!

J'utilise ces gants en randonne, dans mes activits quotidienne ou lorsque j'effectue des sorties photos. Il est lger et protge bien du vent. Cependant, par temps trs froid ce n'est pas un gant trs chaud, mais on peut y insrer facilement une paire de gant Gothic de laine de merino, et le tour est jou. Il est suffisamment fin pour manipuler de petits objets, tel des btons de marche, un appareil photo SLR ou mme pour attacher ses bottes, etc. Un excellent avantage est que l'on peut les attacher un mousqueton son sac dos, l'aide d'une petite sangle aux poignets.

I like these gloves, but you have to have pretty small hands to fit into them, as I do. They fit well once you have them on. They do work well with phones, ipods, etc. They do not really keep your hands warm below 0 C. I've run in them at -5 C and wished they were warmer. Think they would make a great base layer for warmer gloves.

Schner leichter Handschuh aus sehr robusten Material. Anfangs war ich skeptisch ob der Handschuh, aufgrund des fehlenden Leders in der Handflche, griffig ist. Nach den ersten Metern im Eis jedoch zeigte sich das es hier keinerlei Probleme gibt. Mit diesem Handschuh lsst sich super mit Seil und Karabinier arbeiten. Wie lange er das Abseile mitmacht wird sich zeigen. Wer allerdings breite Hnde hat sollte ihn erst anprobieren. Denn die ffnung erweist sich als recht eng und ich haben kleine Hnde. :-)

Gants parfaitement coupe vent et rsistant bien aux intempries lgres (pluie fine). Isolation trs lgre, prvoir un sous gant s'il fait trs froid. Coupe des gants moyenne. J'ai achet un paire de XL, la longueur des doigts est parfaite mais leur diamtre est beaucoup trop grand en cas de doigts fins, dommage.

Die angegebenen Eigenschaften (winddicht, warm, atmungsaktiv) sind korrekt umgesetzt, nur die"wetterbestndig"-keit kann ich leider nicht besttigen. Da die Logo-Stickerei auf der Innenseite nicht abgedichtet ist, dringt durch die Fasern und Lcher im Stoff Feuchtigkeit in das Innere ein. Smartphone-Schirme lassen sich sehr feinfhlig bedienen. Sie fallen recht klein aus. Ich habe eigentlich normale Hnde, und XL sitzt recht stramm.

The fit of the glove is a bit larger than previous iterations (of similar models) and bit better made. Fairly comfortable, but stiff initially. The real issue is thermal insulation and the lack thereof. If the temperature drops below 0 deg C (32 deg F), this is NOT the glove you want; it is decent in Spring and Fall in the nordics but definitely not from Nov - May.

Quality feels a little worse then earlier versions. And sizing is slightly bigger, fit not as snug.

I love this glove. I have fairly large hands with big fingers and have a lot of difficulty finding gloves that fit. While I normally have to wear large or extra large to get through the wrist and fit my palm comfortably, the medium fits me perfectly. This is so important to me because it means I am able to fumble with layers, backpack straps, bindings and more without having to take my gloves off (I normally have to because the large and xl gloves have excess fabric in the fingers). My hands are normally much too warm in other gloves. These protect from the wind and wick vapor away from my hands. I can wear them skinning up a mountain and rarely need to put them in my pockets. I have the venta mitten (which was purposefully made warmer) and I hardly wear them because they are TOO warm. My only complaint is that on every pair I have ever seen in person (from 2021) the ring of fabric around the wrist cuff as begun to come off. Mine began too also come off, but didn't until they were mistakenly put in the washer with fabric softener. I have work them xc skiing, running, biking, and bc skiing all winter and into the spring. I couldn't find anything that compared so I replaced the pair I destroyed with another vents glove. I truly do love these gloves and hope that the 2022 model has more reinforced seams!

Fabric is not stretchy to accommodate proper fit with/without a liner. Even with a liner glove touch pads are huge weakpoints and let cold air easily making biking in < 5C really uncomfortable. Was hoping for wind resistance but unfortunately didn't get it. They are fine for running, but much simpler products can handle it, considering softshell material might not wick well during intense output. Touch pads work ok, but because fabric is not stretchy and pad is even more sturdy material, so can feel janky at times. Can membrane never handle few stitches of conductive thread?

Wrist area ripped from putting them on. Would not recommend unless your just going to get groceries

Had high hopes for this glove. Intended use was backcountry splitboarding. Found the gloves to be slippery and the finger tip material all wore off in the first few days of use. Arcteryx are warrantying the product for me so no complaints there. So don't buy these because you'll just end up sending back for warranty.

These are great gloves but unfortunately, the sensors on the index finger and thumb have worn out after three months of use. I got another pair because they're awesome but I expect they will do the same.

I bought them in August 29, 2020, I am in love with how stylish they are, how temperature management is and how the good in snow and wind! Currently wore them 5+ times for intended use(2 full days of winter backpacking, few times for 5+ mile winter trail run, couple days of trekking) if temperature drop in city life, i am wearing them as daily gloves. works well with screen. but big cons is DURABILITY, really sad, also water gets inside after couple of uses through the seams on fingers, so i washed the with Nikwax for Gore tex products in cold water, now its much better and water not getting in, so i can stay dry. 3/5 just because of durability.
